Marvin Stanley was ready to jump. Then he saw a man dump a body into the river. Instead of running, Marvin waved. And instead of killing him, the man took him home. Edmund is a cannibal. A serial killer. Impossibly calm. And the first person who ever made Marvin feel seen—not broken, not dangerous, just understood. Because Marvin has secrets too. Dreams of blood. Fantasies he can't outrun. Edmund doesn't offer salvation. He offers a choice. Die as prey, or live as a predator. Marvin makes his choice and learns that the scariest thing isn't becoming a monster; it's wanting to.
