Psycho. Sick. Dangerous. Réal Dufresne's reputation precedes him. When the mangled body of his best friend, Shaun, turns up in a field just east of town, tough-as-hell Réal blames himself. But except for the nightmares, all Ré remembers is beating the living crap out of Shaun the night of his death.
Shaun's girlfriend, sixteen-year-old Evie Hawley, keeps her feelings locked up tight. But now she's pregnant, and the father of her baby is dead. And when Réal looks to her to atone for his sins, everything goes sideways. Fast.
The tighter Evie and Réal get, the faster things seem to fall apart. And falling in love might just be the card that knocks the whole house down.
Review
"A darkly atmospheric story, filled with heartfelt, yet perfectly-flawed characters. I loved it." (Ash Parsons, award-winning author of The Falling Between Us 2017-11-02)
"Black Chuck is a stunning work of prose—poetic and haunting, tender and gritty—this is a remarkable novel." (Andrew Smith, Michael L. Printz Honor and Boston Globe-Horn Book Award-winning author 2017-11-06)
"McDonell has captured the brashness and insecurity of adolescence in this gravel-splattering joy-ride. Four teenagers attempt to discern what is real from what is not after trauma threatens to rob them all of their futures." (Karen Nesbitt, author of Subject to Change 2017-11-14)
"Black Chuck is easy to get lost in, haunting, hard not to think about. This story is compelling, chillingly real and sad. Timeless, yet contemporary. A pleasure to read." (Genevieve Scott, author of Catch My Drift 2017-11-24)
"[A] beautiful and painful novel…McDonell's background in creative writing and poetry is evident in this excellent debut novel…[Réal] is a character I don't think I've really experienced before…He's a character who I felt bad for, cheered for, wanted to slap at times, and who I needed to see find some hope in life…A strange, brutal, heartbreaking, and strangely uplifting novel about lies, love, friendship, courage, and the struggle to overcome guilt. Recommended." (Rob Bittner, Sense and Sensibility and Stories blog 2017-11-30)
