When the boundary between life and art collapses, is anyone safe?
Joshua Meyers's life has not been without struggles, but he finds solace in writing extreme horror-an endeavor that hasn't made him wealthy, not exactly. But he and his family enjoy a comfortable existence. On the surface, Joshua has everything a man could want. But underneath, his urges rage, and his cravings for debasement and debauchery border on obsession. When he finally achieves every writer's heart's desire-his words leaping off the page-he learns that it all comes at a cost.
