Fin’s reality is crumbling.
Abandoned by her husband, raising her nine-year-old daughter on her own, Fin’s got some major issues going on. With her L.A. home sweltering, experiencing strange hallucinations, now her life has become a living nightmare. Is it stress, psychosis, trauma … something else?
The answers may lie in Fin’s mother’s cold-case disappearance. An actress once on the rise, she vanished in 1979 with very few clues. Fin starts digging into those dark secrets connected to her mother’s disappearance hoping to uncover the truth before it’s forever buried under the glitz and glamour of illusion.
Why we’re excited about this book:
Well known for her visceral and hard-hitting short films, new fiction by Izzy Lee is a thing to be celebrated. Writer/Director of nearly two dozen films, including Innsmouth, A Favor, Postpartum, For a Good Time, Call …, My Monster, Meat Friend, and Memento Mori, Lee’s short-fiction has graced the pages of such anthologies as Tales From the Crust and Haunted Reels among others. Lee is currently in production of her first feature film, House of Ashes. With her debut, Lee presents a supernatural cold-case with nightmarish repercussions for a struggling single mother. Christopher Golden (Road of Bones, The House of Last Resort) says: “Intimate, twisty, and compelling, I Can See Your Lies is an excellent showcase for the horror writer-director’s prose storytelling chops. Izzy Lee is here to stay.”
Forthcoming from Dark Hart Books 13 February 2024, I Can See Your Lies by Izzy Lee is available for pre-order now.
