- On Saturday afternoon, Nikki Delany thought, "George Wilson, in the kitchen,
with a blender." By dinner, she had killed George and posted his gory murder to
her blog. The next day, she put on her mourning clothes and went out to meet her
best friend for lunch to discuss finding a replacement for her love interest.
Nikki is a horror novelist. Her choice of career is dictated by an Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder that forces her to write stories of death and destruction.
She can't control it, doesn't understand it, but can use it to make money
anywhere in the world. Currently "anywhere" is in Japan, hiding from her mother
who sees Nikki's OCD as proof she's mentally unstable. But, Nikki's fragile
peace starts to fall apart when the police arrest her for the murder of an
American expatriate. Someone killed him with a blender. Reality starts to
unravel around Nikki. She's attacked by a raccoon in a business suit. After a
series of blackouts, she’s accompanied by a boy that no one else can see,
a boy who claims to be a god. Is she really being pursued by Japanese myths
— or is she simply going insane? What Nikki does know for sure is that the
bodies are piling up, her mother has arrived in Japan to lock her up for the
rest of her life — and her novels always end with everyone dead.- The first entry in a new urban fantasy saga by Wen Spencer, the creator of
the popular Tinker contemporary fantasy/SF series.
