ABOUT SPOONLICKER
Spoonlicker is Barker’s début novel about one man’s deranged desire to form a familial relationship with a serial killer in Atlanta, Georgia. When Lanny Pape convinces Warren Worth to take him on as an apprentice of sorts, the two continue Worth’s killing spree throughout Georgia. Worth believes that he is the one who must implement natural selection in the modern world.
When Lanny’s sister comes back into his life in such a confounding way, she stops at nothing to break up his alliance with Worth.
Who decides what’s right and wrong? In a story that lacks any clear protagonist, the lines are blurred in determining the origin of multiple betrayals and it is left to the reader’s final judgment, much like the proverbial debate of whether the chicken or egg came first.
SPOONLICKER is published by Cactus Moon Publications, LLC.
