‘We Are Always Tender with Our Dead’ Cover Reveal – Preview Eric LaRocca’s First ‘Burnt Sparrow’ Novel

Author Eric LaRocca launches his brand new Burnt Sparrow Trilogy with the upcoming novel We Are Always Tender with Our Dead, and Bloody Disgusting has been provided with the exclusive cover reveal as well as a first-look excerpt from Titan Books this morning.

Titan Books tells Bloody Disgusting, “We Are Always Tender with Our Dead introduces the disturbing first installment of Eric LaRocca’s phenomenal ground-breaking debut trilogy of transgressive literary horror. It’s a violent, visceral, eloquently written devastating story of a small New England community rocked by an unforgivable act of violence.”

LaRocca explores the most intimate thoughts of the characters who reside in the isolated town of Burnt Sparrow, New Hampshire. Lives are forever altered after three faceless entities arrive on Christmas morning to perform a brutal act of violence—a senseless tragedy that can never be undone.

While the townspeople grieve their losses and grapple with the aftermath of the attack, a young teenage boy named Rupert Cromwell is forced to confront the painful realities of his family situation. Once relationships become intertwined and more carnage ensues as a result of the massacre, the town residents quickly learn that true retribution is futile, cruelty is earned, and certain thresholds must never be crossed no matter what.

Titan previews, “Writing with visceral intensity and profound eloquence, LaRocca journeys deep into the dark heart of Burnt Sparrow, leaving you chilled to the bone and wanting more.”

We Are Always Tender With Our Dead will be released September 9 by Titan Books. Paul Tremblay raves, “Not since Twin Peaks has there been a town quite like Burnt Sparrow.”

Take a peek into the dreadful town of Burnt Sparrow with an exclusive excerpt below.
