Adventures in Depravity: The Skelterville Story

Welcome to Skelterville! You are so screwed. For the Cupid’s come to town. In a city known as ‘Serial Killer Capital of the World,’ the Cupid is the foulest of fiends. He’s a rabid, cannibalistic, misogynistic, misanthropic, fanged, clawed, unstoppable, psychotic gargoyle. He slaughters in ways most gruesome and artful. He only appears the week of Valentine’s Day, murdering so many, the town sign has both a population number and a projected population number by the end of the week, and the latter significantly lower than the former. The Cupid is a wicked menace, and only one knows his true identity.
Who is she? What is her stake in this? Why won’t she tell? The who is Sammy Byrd, a luscious and crusty detective, who’s so lethal, she’s mowed down 150 serial killers, a whole corner of Skelterville Cemetery reserved for her present and future kills.What’s Sammy’s stake in this? For one, Dana Driscoll, a scarred and tormented victim of the Cupid, determined to exact vengeance against the sanguine spook. For another, the Cupid and Sammy have a past. And Why is Sammy not spilling?
Well, to know that, dear reader, you’ll just have to say a prayer and dive in, yourself. And when you do (how could you not?) bring a pair of goggles for the spatter, at least three friends to watch your back, and remember, Beware, beware the Devil all lovebirds fear!
