Description
A young boy runs away from his abusive home to live in the fort he's built in the middle of a Michigan cornfield. But when a cosmic discovery late one night warps reality into a mutating nightmare, it's up to loyal friends to fix what they can... and bury what they can't.
A dark coming-of-age tale that melds Colour Out of Space with Stand By Me.
"With characters that feel as real as your own childhood friends, Chad Lutzke has written a dark and beautiful story. By contrasting the unknowable with the unthinkable, Lutzke spins a tragic tale that is equal parts Stand by Me and The X-Files, with the incisive character work and tension that are his trademark. Powerful and moving, this book is layered with metaphor about the ways in which abuse transforms not only the victim, but those around him. In Bruises on a Butterfly, Chad Lutzke gives us a heartbreaking story of young friendship and loss set against a splatter painting of strange."

"Nobody writes about broken people like Chad Lutzke."
