Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina
2.0
I usually don't rate books I don't like - what doesn't work for me may be perfect for another reader! - but this book is so violently fatphobic that I'm still thinking about it months later. 
So the fat character kills his mother by... sitting on her???... and then hides her body in the couch and... continues to sit on her decomposing body?????
In addition to that, the narrative can't stop pointing out how laughably fat this man is and how slovenly he is and how all he can do is eat.  And for what purpose?  The author could have chosen literally any other character composition to drive the plot.
