Description
From the author of The Devil Took Her comes a collection of ten fresh tales of horror.
A South Island road trip turns murderous as a dangerous drifter smells a secret in her co-dependent pal.
Millionaire Kiwi conservationists learn too late how little Mother Nature cares for mankind.
A Far North teen confronts the terrifying truth about why Mum separated from Dad years ago.
In his most powerful collection yet, Botur challenges you to look at life through the lens of horror. Struggling to bond with a savage stepchild, losing your son to a gang of ghostly boys, doing desperate things to get famous, battling bullies, surviving school, chasing elite status in the medical world, and getting good with God.
With a unique flavour of New Zealand, the stories in BLOODALCOHOL are bittersweet, horrifying, tender - and astonishingly original.
