It’s 2001. Heavy Metal Reigns. Serial Killers Run Free.

Stella has replaced her rookie detective badge with a hunting knife fit for a beast. She’s on a killing rampage, and she’s feeling stronger than death.

Blazing through the desert after slaughtering the Red River Ripper, lust and exhilaration course through Stella’s veins. Blasting the primal songs of Black Label Society, she rides a hardcore rush. The rotten metallic taste of death stains her throat, intensifying her desire for more.

Craving a night doused in bourbon and heavy metal, she reunites with the fire-haired criminal profiler, Agent Iris Quesnel, from her last case. The lust lingering from their first encounter at a Queensrÿche concert burns hotter than ever. Following the after-party of a lifetime, Iris and Stella embark on a rampage to cleanse the earth of the most deranged human monsters.

As the killer within flourishes, the carnage rages out of control, and the gore escalates to unexpected extremes.

Hallucinations blur reality. Masochistic tendencies heighten. Death reaches for them.

A splatterpunk novella fueled by the tracks of Black Label Society.
