The Shroud Underground

Mama Fish
(from Shroud Publishing)

At Harlequin High School In 1986, Kelvin Fish is the oddball, the weird kid that no one will talk to, except for Patrick Beauchamp who is determined to learn more. When Patrick's curiosity about Kelvin leads him into a bizarre and tragic series of events, Patrick gets much more than he bargained for.

Peter Straub has described Rio Youers as " ... one the the most vital, most exciting young talents to come along in this decade."

" Very seldom will you find anyone in the smaller presses who can tell a story like Rio Youers. In Mama Fish, his prose is powerful, flawless, sometimes humorous, and his pacing never misses a beat. I found this novella as addictive as his first two novels, which were near impossible to put down. Masterful storytelling can come from hard work and natural talent, and I suspect that much of Youers’ skill comes from the latter."
