Synopsis

The dark, sexy, and dangerous landscape of Redhead and the Slaughter King is illuminated by its truth-slinging author, Megan Falley.

More than a collection of poems, this book serves as a survival guide for anyone who has ever been a daughter.

Knotted with gritty tales of addiction, mental illness, and girlhood, this book is the prequel to every time someone asked the question, "How did I end up here?"

I'm sleeping.I don't want to be held accountable either.It's funny–your disease manifested itselfat thirty-one years old when you had a pair of teenage girls in your home. Curious it didn't haunt youon your camping trip with Grandpa.If I had an affliction where I unconsciously shoveda pistol into the people I loved, I'd tell them:look, I do this thingin the night–it might kill you,but it isn't me.Except I'd know it was me.I'd sleep in a crypt.I'd cut off my own hands.
