"This is gory and brutal and beautiful and painful and terrifying and a pure delight."—Stephen Graham Jones
A provocative and unforgettable debut that is both a blood-soaked love letter to Los Angeles and a gleeful send-up to iconic horror villains,
Maeve Fly
will thrill fans of slashers and the macabre.
By day, Maeve Fly works at the happiest place in the world as every child’s favorite ice princess.
By the neon night glow of the Sunset Strip, Maeve haunts the dive bars with a drink in one hand and a book in the other, imitating her misanthropic literary heroes.
But when Gideon Green - her best friend’s brother - moves to town, he awakens something dangerous within her, and the world she knows suddenly shifts beneath her feet.
Untethered, Maeve ditches her discontented act and tries on a new persona. A bolder, bloodier one, inspired by the pages of
American Psycho
. Step aside Patrick Bateman, it’s Maeve’s turn with the knife.
"An apocalyptic
Anaheim Psycho
."
