Carnage À Trois

2021

ONE GEEK VERSUS A LETHAL LOVE TRIANGLE. Bill Ryder’s past and present are about to collide. His girlfriend’s been marked for death by the immortal temptress who wants him. One’s a witch and the other’s a vampire, which means the chances of them talking out their problems over tea are slim to none. It’s bad enough Bill’s too distracted by evil leprechauns and redneck werewolves to put a stop to it, but now something massive has been spotted prowling the waters of the Hudson – a harbinger of biblical proportions, forewarning of dark times to come. With a tidal wave of chaos closing in, Bill will need to choose between his friends, his feelings, and the fate of the world. Sadly, there’s little hope of saving everyone he holds dear from the carnage that’s about to punch him and his love life right in the moby dick.
