The Huckleberry Gospel
A Novel by M. Wayne
Beneath the sizzle of the kitchen and the glow of a wood-fired oven, something darker is simmering.
James Miller is a chef on the run from his past and from himself. Haunted by childhood trauma and fueled by addiction, he seeks solace in the chaotic rhythm of a high-end kitchen in a small New England town. But the line between pleasure and punishment begins to blur when disturbing visions and violent blackouts start to plague his every waking moment. As the scent of burning meat mingles with memory, James finds himself unraveling-unsure whether he's losing his grip on reality or waking up to a horrifying truth buried deep within his fractured psyche.
At the heart of the fire lies a secret. A woman is missing. Another is dead. The pizza oven crackles. Blood stains the prep table. And a skull stares from the flames.
Told with searing intimacy and a razor-sharp sense of tension, The Huckleberry Gospel is a psychological thriller steeped in kitchen subculture, religious delusion, and the violence that can fester in a mind too long left unattended. With prose as raw and visceral as its subject matter, M. Wayne's debut novel is an unflinching descent into madness, memory, and the monstrous things we hide from others-and from ourselves.
For fans of American Psycho, Sharp Objects, and The Wasp Factory, this is not a story for the faint of heart. It's a meditation on pain, identity, and the dark hunger that consumes us when the lights go out and the heat turns up.
