About Bitter with Age
"...At our age, life is death. Death is cold. I am cold. Death is lonely. We are lonely. Death is ancient. We are ancient. In living as long as we have, we've grown so near to death that the boundaries separating it from life have become blurred." Enter a slow burning tale of murder and terror where each of the main players is at least 80 years old. First set in a traditional suburban neighborhood, an elderly couple is forced against their will to relocate to a retirement community. There they are met by far more than empty schedules and tacky décor. They are met by a sinister and surprising evil. Will Eleanor and Harold survive the dangers that lurk behind every corner? Will they outlive the killer? In his debut novel, author Stewart Winder uses the thriller genre and style as a lens for seeing the horrors of ageism more clearly. Readers will not only remain captivated and on-edge throughout the story, but they will be encouraged to ask themselves whether or not their own hands are clean as well.
