Synopsis

Cherry wants to be left alone.
Unfortunately, her Alternates have other plans.

In Cherry Kills, Sean Thomas McDonnell drops us into the psychic noise of the 1990s—grimy punk clubs, TV-static apartment hallways, and a woman haunted by three figures no one else is supposed to see: an overprotective lug, a happy-go-lucky kid, and a mute rabbit the size of a man. They’ve followed Cherry since her father’s violent death. The doctor calls them hallucinations.

Cherry isn’t convinced.

When the Alternates begin interacting with the world around her, isolation stops being a refuge and becomes a liability. Cherry Kills is a raw, punk-lit novel about grief, survival, and the stories we build to keep ourselves intact.
