Red Light

“I walk back into the living room. I have never seen this room before. Some might be confused as I had only a few minutes ago seduced a man in this room. But I have never been in this room before. I sit back onto the couch I have never sat on before. I look at a table I have never pushed away before. I watch Dean enter and sit in his chair. I have never seen Dean before. Not this Dean. Everything has changed in an instant. I was cruising along a highway of happiness and confidence. But I hit a red light.” Things are tough for Mia, a beautiful eighteen-year-old prostitute in 2008. Her whimsical outlook on life and guilty conscience have resulted in her eviction from her pimp’s home. She hasn’t a dime to her name or anywhere to go. Then a voice calls out to her. A voice that belongs to a young man who offers her shelter and doesn’t seem to have a sinister bone in his body…yet. A seductive and unapologetic game of cat and mouse between a moralistic hooker and a sadistic killer takes center stage in this tale of lost innocence, depraved sexuality, grisly violence, and the darkest sides of human nature. Sexy, humorous, and oddly uplifting when the violent gut punches subside, Red Light and Other Tales is a solid debut in mature and happily impolite genre fiction.
