Werewolves, bad medicine, a cubano gangster under a curse, vampires, hoodoo blues, malicious ghosts, a closet that grants wishes, a chocolate apolcaypse, the world's smartest toilet, and necrophilia. Enough blood, cutlery,  viscera, depleted rounds and megalomaniacal laughter to choke a horse with a large and... somewhat unusual... apetite. 

Previews and ordering information to come in the following weeks.

Peace, love and head explosions, baby,
