Stacy and Her Idiot

I’d already guessed the coke was fake—junkies rarely wake you up for any reason other than the absence of a fix—but it was a little odder than that. The package I’d brought was split open on the coffee table and the powder was scattered everywhere, which allowed me an unobstructed view of the packet’s surprise crackerjack gift.

 

It was a severed finger.

 

When Stacy and her idiot boyfriend visit the source to demand a refund, they get a lot more than they bargained for. As a friend attempts their rescue, she finds out there are worse things than tainted cocaine, gang wars, and reprisal killings—for example, a strange old crone dubbed The Planet Trilethium…

 

Surprises abound in this surreal and suspenseful story from Peter Atkins—creator of Wishmaster, screenwriter for three Hellraiser movies, and author of Morningstar, Big Thunder, and Moontown.
