Summary
In The Serial Killer’s Son Takes a Wife, author Michael Libling plunges readers inside the decidedly cursed life of Bobby Blessing, a young man struggling to navigate a reality few people will ever ponder: how to survive having a serial killer for a father in a small town where nothing is forgotten. When readers meet Bobby, he has a new last name and a relatively benign existence as the owner of an ice cream parlor in Saratoga Springs, New York. He is working hard to leave his family’s horrific legacy behind, including his mother, who wasn’t exactly a sweet treat herself.
Michael joins TCT today to break down the characters of Bobby Blessing (Dickens), his serial killer father (Henry Taylor Dickens), His Mother, and his wife Cori, along with Bobby's issues ( which are expansive when you don't know who and what you can trust, including yourself)!
