Rotters, by Daniel Kraus

16-year-old Joey Crouch loses everything - his mother, his friends, his home, even his musical talent.  He becomes an outcast, and in desperation turns to the only person left - his frightening father.  His father draws Joey into a nightmare world of madness and mayhem.  Joey's father is a digger - a grave robber. The story is dark, the subject matter is dark and disturbing, the action is revolting.  But there is truth here about growing up and claiming your own life out of misery.
