Bloody Waters

AUREALIS AWARD FINALIST

Is the Devil more trustworthy than a record executive?


Young guitar virtuoso Clarice Marnier is on the verge of success when she crosses the wrong A&R man. Suddenly, instead of being signed to a major label, she finds herself blacklisted.


So Clarice makes a deal with the Devil: the soul of her enemy for a record deal and a second chance.


As Clarice and her band, Bloody Waters, begin their ascent to rock stardom they are beset by a strange array of enemies. Has-been guitar heroes, popstar succubi, spell-slinging DJs, angry divas and killer angels – every occult freak and music industry player in LA wants something from them, whether it’s a slice of their fame or a bite of their souls.


Clearly there’s more at stake than just a record deal – but what does the Devil really want, and how far will Clarice go to protect what’s hers?
