What it feels like

Reading this novella feels like stepping into a funhouse mirror maze where the reflections are smeared with blood and nothing is quite as it seems. The pace is brisk and relentless, dragging you by the hand through a macabre carnival of horrors guided by a deeply unreliable, gleefully psychotic narrator. It is a pitch-black, unapologetic exploration of madness and twisted justice, wrapped in the aesthetic of a gritty, Halloween-themed nightmare. The prose is visceral and chaotic, perfectly capturing the protagonist's fractured reality and her dark, playful detachment from the atrocities she commits. It is a dizzying, boundary-pushing experience designed to delight readers who crave extreme dark romance, psychological mind-benders, and heroines who are the true monsters in the dark.

About the book

Every Halloween, Satan's Affair will come to you. We travel the country, offering terrifying haunted houses, thrilling rides and the tastiest food.

And with every passing town, I cleanse this world, one execution at a time.

I hide within the walls, casting my judgement for those that reek of evil, singing lullabies to their rotting souls. Once you've been chosen, there's no escaping my henchmen—they cater to my every desire.

You can run and you can hide, but it only excites me.

Come. Take a walk through my dollhouse, where your screams will blend and your cute little pleas will go unanswered.

But I can't promise it'll be over quickly...
