Family Bones Volume 1: Based on a True Story. Horror Book Review

FAMILY BONES is based on the TRUE STORY of the oldest married couple on Missouri’s death row, as experienced one summer by their unwitting nephew.  The writer, Shawn Granger, is the actual great nephew of Ray and Faye Copeland.  Broken Frontier says “Family Bones is an intriguing project…From the offset the story seems to be a unique one - not just another sketchy profile of an obsessed, introverted sociopath (ala Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), nor is it an overly cheeky attempt to glorify the reclusive intellect of fictional masterminds like Hannibal Lector. The tale is instead evocative of a very quiet, very subdued Texas Chainsaw Massacre, with the gritty realism of the first movie edged with faint touches of the zaniness found in its sequels.”
