Starfire & Slaughter: Crimson Tempest Chronicles

By WILLIAM haddix

In a world drowning in nightmares, one red oni and his crew of misfit legends answer the call with blades, bullets, booze, and bad decisions.

From the thorn-choked wombs of cursed greenhouses to the flooded opera houses where voices are harvested mid-scream, from rust-eaten foundries where lungs are reaped like slag to the blood-soaked beaches where shark-men deliver killer puns before the kill-Tj Takanotsume and the Crimson Tempest crash every horror with starfire and sake. Whether it's a leprechaun and kitsune locked in deadly tricks in the alleys of Berlin, a half-shark abomination terrorizing an island with one-liners, or ancient forge-titans and iron guardians rising from buried seals, the Tempest brings the same answer: laugh, drink, and carve your name into the monster's spine.

Packed with unflinching anatomical carnage, sensory overload, and transgressive black humor, these thirteen tales deliver exactly what they promise-Starfire & Slaughter. No redemption. No mercy. Just raw, relentless horror served with a side of oni-sized attitude and a jug of the good stuff.

If you like your nightmares loud, bloody, and funny as hell... welcome to the Crimson Tempest.

For fans of extreme horror, splatterpunk, and unapologetic chaos. Warning: Contains graphic violence, dark humor, and enough sake to drown a god.
