Tales of the Weird, the Wild and the Wonderful

By Sophie Willan, Toni Johnson, Courtney Baird

A startling debut noir. A Trail of Blood on the Snow is a chilling exploration of masculinity, madness, and the harrowing legacy of abuse.

"He remembers me. He remembers the screaming and the blood on the snow. He remembers everything, I can tell."

Rex is 41. Halfway to death and no happier for it. Any promise of a better life got stifled decades ago, when Rex was a limping school kid and Max was the school bully.

Then, a chance encounter. Max standing smug and handsome at a gas station with his oh-so-perfect family.

Rex secretly follows them home. Watches them. Thinks about his own miserable life. What Max did to him, and how a real man would claim revenge.

Rex acts.

Is this the making of a monster, or the breaking of a man?
