A combination that leaves the reader feeling slightly breathless." - Eternal Night "Mike Purfield's style is fresh and blunt, sure to please even the most jaded horror reader. He is clear, crisp, shocking, and yes, at times, deliciously explicit. I have never read anything quite like this before, with his fast pacing making it a true pleasure to read." - Dream Forge Second chances don't come easy. Not when an axe swings for your head.
