Bloodalcohol by Michael Botur

Description

The award-winning author of acclaimed horror collection The Devil Took Her is back with ten fresh tales.

● A South Island road trip turns murderous as a dangerous drifter smells a secret in her co-dependent partner.

● Millionaire Kiwi conservationists learn too late how little Mother Earth cares for mankind.

● A Far North teen confronts the terrifying truth about why Mum separated from Dad years ago.

These stories take us through trials of life everyone can relate to: Struggling to bond with a stroppy stepchild, losing your son to a gang of ghoulish boys, doing desperate things to get famous, battling bullies, surviving school, sacrificing everything for art, surviving the big city, and getting good with God.

Bringing his award-winning narrative skill to the genre of horror, Botur delivers ten New Zealand nightmares – his most powerful stories yet.
