An assassin rescues a young girl from sex-trafficking parents. A drug addict, haunted by past abuse, returns home to murder her father. An alcoholic, tortured by the loss of his wife, battles to resist the allure of suicide. When these lives and more collide in Los Angeles, chaos quickly ensues. “Brian Bowyer is a master of extreme horror. You’ve been warned!” — Ross Jeffery, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Tome, Beautiful Atrocities, and The Devil’s Pocketbook. “Brian Bowyer is one of the greatest writers of our generation. Years from now, if there’s any justice, his work will be studied.” — Judith Sonnet, author of Summer Never Ends and No One Rides for Free.
