Overview
Chain-smoking bisexual, Mantis, finds herself amid a demon-littered apocalypse. With the book of Revelations unfurling before her very eyes, she recruits a reformed prostitute, a bubbly stripper, and a hopelessly smitten DJ to try to stop the biblical event in its tracks. Can the crew of misfit degenerates save the world before it's destroyed? Locked and loaded with sinister creatures, violent villains, and a horny heroine with the charm of a rabid wolverine, Mantis will take you on a blood-soaked road trip through the bowels of America's deep south and drop you on the doorstep of the Devil. From the demented, award-winning author of The Rictus Grin and Other Tales of Insanity & Writhe comes a profane, blood-soaked novel full of guts, gore, and good times. A unique blend of Dogma and From Dusk Til Dawn, recommended for fans of Jeff Strand, Chuck Wendig, Ash Ericmore, and Christopher Moore. Published by Rusty Ogre Publishing.

Reviews
""Totally hilarious and original. The humor and gore is perfectly balanced. Hysterical!"" - Matt Forgit, author of How to Be a Professional Mourner ""This book is all about the characters. It's funny. It's fun. It's gory. It's action-packed. It's a B movie on paper and I'm here for it. It's refreshing to read a religious horror where the author is actually knowledgeable in their theology."" - Chisto Healy, Author of Two of a Kind ""This book by Erica Summers is such a fun read! It's got everything I love! A strong female lead, supernatural vibes, humor, and an apocalypse! The best part is the friends made along the way."" - Angel Van Atta, Author of In the Tall Trees ""This is such a fun and wild book! It's got humor, horror, demons, & sex! Fast-paced. There are lots of powerful female characters. The ending was my favorite part! This author is definitely one to follow."" - Amazon reviewer
