Produktbeschreibung

Haunted by his tragic past, Jack LeBlanc, a scarred introvert living in the bayous of southern Louisiana, signs up for a clinical trial to test the miraculous new tissue-regeneration drug, Obsidian. It isn't long until Jack and the other lab rats discover that the medication is not what was promised. They're about to find out the hard way that the pills have nightmarish consequences. From the author of Mantis and The Rictus Grin and Other Tales of Insanity comes a riveting tale that is equal parts medical thriller, psychological thriller, and monstrous body horror. Vanity Kills delves deep into body dysmorphia, narcissism, and revenge as the ensemble of richly developed characters embark on a quest for visual perfection that will chill you to the bone. Based loosely on Summers' 2020 feature film, Obsidian, Vanity Kills will have you questioning the side effects of every pill you take.

PLEASE NOTE: Contains death, LGBTQIA+ characters, profanity, sex, and the brief death of an animal. If you are sensitive to these triggers, this book might not be for you. ***** PRAISE FOR VANITY KILLS****** "An amazing blend of medical thriller and body horror, with cinematic prose, skillfully realistic dialogue, and a slow-burn narrative full of dread, regret, and trauma." - Milt Theodossiou, Reviewer
