There are thrillers that make you look over your shoulder, and then there’s what John Marrs does in Keep It in the Family, where every horror, every secret, and every warped loyalty makes you question humanity itself.

From the first unnerving scrawl scratched into a floorboard to the final bone-chilling twist, Keep It in the Family is Marrs at his darkest, most disturbing, and most emotionally jarring.
