“Clay McLeod Chapman is one of my favorite horror storytellers working today.”—Jordan Peele

What if the man of your dreams turns out to be a nightmare?

The past really can haunt you in this killer supernatural slasher by Clay McLeod Chapman, perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix, CJ Leede, and Stephen Graham Jones.

When Jenn first sees Mr. Lonelyhearts, he’s just a CPR dummy in her 7th grade health class. She and her best friends—the Cöven—smuggle him to a sleepover and pour their adolescent fantasies into his open, willing vessel. Then they grow up, get real boyfriends, and forget about him. But he never forgot about them. And now, decades later, after a traumatic break-up leaves Jenn shattered, Mr. Lonelyhearts reappears in her life to pick up the pieces.

But once Jenn begins to suspect that there’s something very wrong about her Mr. Right, it might be too late. Will she survive this situationship, or does Mr. Lonelyhearts have darker plans for them?

Mr. Lonelyhearts is a glittery slasher and a sinister look at how our deepest desires can manifest into something more monstrous, from the USA Today bestselling and Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes.
