Chad and 2 other people liked Alexis Zhou's review of The Bedmakers:
The Bedmakers by Chad Lutzke
"A nice short read, a surprisingly sad story about life-long friendship (and murder)."
Chad and 1 other person liked Chris Wolff's review of The Bedmakers:
The Bedmakers by Chad Lutzke
"This was a good little trip down the tracks. It is a quick read that was hard to put down once the train got rolling. It is a story about two older men who have seen better days and decide to take one last shot at a better life by hopping on a train " Read more of this review »
Chad and 1 other person liked Melanie Shipp's review of The Bedmakers:
The Bedmakers by Chad Lutzke
"I enjoyed the story. While it had an incredibly unsettling vibe from the beginning, I was expecting it to have more horror aspects. It was a really good story and I did love the characters. "

Quotes by Chad Lutzke  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Denny, I know it is, and I’ve seen much more of it than I’ve probably let on. But that’s no way to live your life, on guard like that. I can’t let the potential of something bad happening strip me of my freedom. No one should have to do that.”
Chad Lutzke, Of Foster Homes and Flies

“This is about hating yourself enough to go to extremes. It's about surviving, when all you want to do is wake up dead.”
Chad Lutzke, Stirring the Sheets

“Dirt is the closest thing to a womb a person can hope for.”
Chad Lutzke, Out Behind the Barn
