Camilla Bruce's All the Blood We Share breathes horrific life into the story of the "Bloody Benders," a family of serial killers who commit a number of murders in Cherryvale, Labette County, Kansas in 1871. Told from multiple POVs, this historic novelization delivers the creepiest of western frontier vibes. Readers, suddenly privy to the internal workings of this prairie family and their gruesome bone orchard, will want nothing more than to dig, dig, dig.

"...we buried him behind the house, on a patch of soil meant to become an orchard. Ma had wanted apple saplings for it, but now it had become a grave instead."
