Reborn into the Appalachian community of Maplewood, Connelly Myers spirals into depression after the love of his life, Arlene, drowns in the river. As he wallows in sorrow, their nine-year-old Kelsey befriends a strange Angora cat named Mr. Vicious. Wilbur, the family farmhand, is the only one who realizes just how sinister the cat is. He should know sinister, after all: he's a longtime predator, targeting Connelly's beautiful daughter. But Kelsey doesn't find Mr. Vicious scary. In fact, she worships it and encourages the town's children to sell their souls for an enchanting afterlife. In return for eternal merriment, their families will be damned. Can Connelly withstand accusations of heathenry hurled at him by townsfolk, or will he fall prey to the devil destroying their home? "Supremely Vicious" is an edgy, intense story that weaves horror and allegory.
