Bad Nature – A Darkly Funny, Subversive Debut About Revenge, Redemption, and Road Trips

Bad Nature is a razor-sharp debut novel that blends biting humor, emotional depth, and an unforgettable revenge-fueled road trip. When Hester is diagnosed with terminal cancer on her 40th birthday, she does what any self-respecting grudge-holder might: quits her high-powered corporate law job, packs a bag, and heads west to kill her estranged father.

A Road Trip Fueled by Rage, Secrets, and Unexpected Detours

With nothing left to lose, Hester hits the road—only to pick up an unlikely passenger: John, a soft-spoken environmentalist hitching rides to toxic waste sites. As the two crisscross the country, from luxury hotels to fringe desert communes, Hester must confront both her long-standing anger and the moral ambiguity of her quest.

But as landscapes shift and buried truths come to light, Hester begins to question:

• Can revenge bring closure?

• Is holding a grudge a luxury or a form of survival?

• And is redemption ever out of reach—even for someone like her?

Perfect for Fans of Dark Comedy, Literary Fiction & Road Trip Chaos

Bad Nature is a bleakly funny, brilliantly written novel that explores grief, environmental decay, and the messy human desire for justice, all wrapped in a wild cross-country ride.
