The town is dying — and only the strange kid who can see death knows why.

A coming-of-age horror

↓ step inside

Thirteen-year-old Marcus Norfleet has been able to see death since the afternoon it came for his grandfather. The other kids think he's cursed. Maybe he is.

But when something older and hungrier than the prairie itself begins to feed on the town of Green Tree, Marcus and a handful of misfit kids are the only ones who can see it coming — and the only ones left to stop it.

To save everyone he loves, Marcus will have to learn what the dead already know: that some debts have been waiting a hundred years to be paid.

About the Author

Paul Eric Pape is a designer, a maker, a speaker and a writer. Death’s Intern is his first novel. Paul loves to explore the creepy world of the unexplainable and ground it in his youth. A product of too many hours in front of the TV when cable was in its infancy, filling his mind with the chaos of the ’80s and ’90s, his stories evoke a sense of nostalgia with a bent toward the unknown.
