You're standing in the local O-Mart staring at cooking appliances when it happens: you see HER, the love of your life, in all her beautiful glory - and it's as if she'd been there your whole entire life, waiting for you. Her name is as simple as two heartbeats: Lucille. And I swear to live off those two heartbeats until the day I die... Then it happens, a different day, and life is no longer normal. A stranger knocks at the door, bringing with him a world far weirder than the imagination could possibly comprehend. He claims Lucille to be his Creatrix, and I the Prophet to her purpose. The man states he is a true believer, one of the Filii Tosti, and has come to devote himself to beloved Lucille. How many other believers are out there? And how far will the Filii Tosti go to serve their cycle under The Creatrix? Writer Austin James debuts with a wonderfully twisted story that is completely bizarre and entirely endearing. Mixing mutant and melding mutant creatures with tones of true romance, and served with enough grotesqueries to satisfy to the most gluttonous of minds. Also included, an array of short stories that take the reader even further into the mind of James' askew view within the word-world: Sun Kissed, Recovery, Mess, Snow Globe and Violet Crime.
