Third Estate Books
Marcus, a man estranged from his family, returns to his roots amid a backdrop of generational trauma in rural, poverty-stricken Ohio, only to find that not all family secrets die given time. As Marcus helps his uncle drain a pond on their ancestral property, he uncovers the dark secrets of his family and the land they've called home.
“Christopher Bond has crafted a pond scum gothic that reeks of ghosts and regret. Hold your breath before diving into BLACK OUT THE STARS. It might be your last.” - Clay McLeod Chapman, author of WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES.
About Third Estate Books
We are a small Horror Indie Press focused on representing the unheard voices of working-class authors. Too often, Art is treated like a privilege, not the necessity that it is. We at Third Estate seek to reverse this frightening trend. Without working-class Queers, POC, the Disabled, and degenerates, there would be no Art at all.
