To escaped serial killer Andrew Compton, murder is an art, the most intimate art to ever exist. After feigning his own death to escape from a life sentence in prison, he makes his way to America with the intention of bringing his art to new heights. Tortured by his own perverse desires, he inadvertently joins forces with Jay, a dissolute playboy. They set their sights on a young Vietnamese-American runaway, whom they deem to be the perfect victim. An orgy of blood and madness ensues.

Exquisitely horrific, shocking and grotesque. The intensely vivid and uncomfortably erotic details will leave even the most established horror enthusiasts feeling a bit squeamish at points. Hannibal Lecter would probably view this book as the greatest "romance" novel of all time. This is a poetic and disturbing character study of society's most rejected degenerates, a vivid exploration of the minds of killers and taboo fetishists. Splatterpunk at its finest.
