Run for the Hills by Kevin Wilson

Kevin Wilson returns with a darkly funny, deeply moving novel about family, survival, and the strange ways we protect the ones we love. Run for the Hills is a masterclass in contemporary Southern fiction—equal parts tender and unsettling, with Wilson’s signature blend of eccentric characters and profound emotional truth.

This is a story about what happens when the past refuses to stay buried. Wilson crafts a narrative that feels both wildly original and achingly familiar, exploring the messy, complicated bonds that hold families together even when they’re falling apart. His prose is sharp and surprising, finding humor in the darkest corners while never losing sight of the heart beating at the center of the story.

If you loved Nothing to See Here or The Family Fang, you’ll find that same electric energy here—but this time, Wilson digs even deeper. The characters leap off the page with all their flaws and fierce loyalty intact. You’ll recognize them. You might even see yourself.

Perfect for readers who appreciate:

• Literary fiction with a Southern soul
• Complex family dynamics rendered with compassion and wit
• Stories that balance darkness with hope
• Writers who take risks and trust their readers

This is the kind of book that lingers long after you’ve turned the final page—the kind you’ll want to press into a friend’s hands and say, “Just read it.” We’re honored to have it on our shelves.
