“Lavinia Abaddon—sixty-six years old, grey boy cut that she trimmed herself, hazel eyes, wearing two small gold earrings, tall and bony-limbed—was to serve a ninety-day incarceration sentence at the beginning of next month. Fucking wasn’t even a distraction. Her hand tightened around her partner’s throat as she twisted beneath her in the sheets to climax. She removed her hand from inside Ellie Harrison, glistening with her salt. Lavinia wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. Ellie wanted to get fucked the same way every time, moaning the same tiresome pleasures.”

Do you have your ticket for shelter? In the hours before a Category 5 hurricane makes landfall, Sugar Bends, Florida braces for impact. Some choose to evacuate. Others hunker down and hope for the best. A lucky few are invited to take refuge in the town’s only movie theatre. But another, more sinister force brings these strangers together—and as the gale force winds begin to blow, it’s clear that the storm is the least of their worries.

Kayli Scholz’s style of sleazy trailer park narration will leave you feeling implicated in the sickliest of ways … This is the fastest I’ve read anything in a while. —Ira Rat, author of Participation Trophy, publisher at Filthy Loot
