Rave has been sent to @quitthistown for editing!
=== Cover and Synopsis Reveal ===
Seth is ready for the greatest rave of 1996, which lands on the ten-year anniversary of his cousin Floyd’s brutal crime. Prince George is a small town. Seth, cursed by proxy, love, and desire, needs this night as an escape.
Hopes of sweet release wither as he and his three friends witness an unexplainable murder, carelessly getting their DNA on the scene. The RCMP are going to love them! They’ll completely believe that these drugged-out kids saw a horned man-beast decapitating people – right?
The head-chopper is closing in as the authorities are connecting the dots. Oh, and Floyd shows up, sharing the truth about his dark, unsettling past. In just over twenty-four hours of drugs, bloodshed, and lust, the four kids are in for a rave of a lifetime.
===
More info on the release and bonus media (hint, look at my past releases) to come.
