YOU'RE NO BETTER
Coming October 27th
Morgan Slaughter, a seventeen-year-old trans boy with autism, put his serial killer father
in prison years ago. Despite that, everyone thinks Morgan will grow up to be just like his
dad: including his volatile mother, the documentary crew following their family, and
maybe himself.
Desperately, Morgan latches onto his father’s final victim—the only one who was never
identified—hoping that if he unravels the mystery, he’ll finally prove he’s better than the
man who hurt him. But this puts Morgan in the crosshairs of classmate Felicity Keating,
who knows the truth about Morgan’s childhood—that he wasn’t just a witness to his
father’s brutality, he was an accomplice. And if he doesn’t let them help with his
investigation? They’ll tell everyone.
Forced to confront his past, Morgan’s ugly but carefully controlled world unravels. The
film crew is manipulative. His mother’s temper spirals into malice, then violence. And
Morgan and Felicity may be more tightly intertwined than either of them can stomach...
