There is not a more intense, prolific, or apocalyptic writer of fiction in America than Brian Evenson.--George Saunders
A contemporary gothic tale about the apocalyptic connection between religion and violence.--Publishers Weekly
When Rudd, a troubled teenager, embarks on a school research project, he runs across the secret Mormon ritual of blood sacrifice, and its role in a 1902 murder committed by the grandson of Brigham Young.
