Description
One woman's deadly obsession with a haunted archival film precipitates her undoing in Black Flame, from the USA Today bestselling author of Manhunt, Gretchen Felker-Martin.
A cursed film. A haunted past. A deadly secret.
The Baroness, an infamous exploitation film long thought destroyed by Nazi fire, is discovered fifty years later. When lonely archivist Ellen Kramer—deeply closeted and pathologically repressed—begins restoring the hedonistic movie, it unspools dark desires from deep within her.
As Ellen is consumed by visions and voices, she becomes convinced the movie is real, and is happening to her—and that frame by frame, she is unleashing its occult horrors on the world. Her life quickly begins to spiral out of control.
Until it all fades to black, and all that remains is a voice asking a question Ellen can’t answer but can’t get out of her mind.

This book ruled. I could not put it down. Do you like grotesque body horror, blood and guts, urine, clive barker, cool castles, haunted films? If yes. Then this book is for you. So cool.

More than anything.
This novel is a new favorite. This is deeply unsettling, gorey, and oozing with rage. I both loved and hated this because of the uncomfortable places it takes you.
Amber R, Reviewer
Felker-Martin out-Barkered Clive Barker with this searing nightmare of a novel. Here there be monsters, gore enough to make me squirm, tragedy and triumph enough to make me cry more than once, and a sheen of celluloid cast over it all, erotic and queer and glistening and unflinching. I swallowed this one whole. I cannot wait to read it again.
