It’s not easy being the child of a notorious serial killer.
David Raymond’s father Scott – known as the Artiste for the grotesque way he posed his victims – disappeared from prison twenty years ago without a trace. Since that time, David has become a virtual recluse to avoid media attention. But when his mother falls ill, and he needs money to pay for her care, he grudgingly decides to accept an invitation to be the Guest of Honor at Killcon, a gathering of true-crime enthusiasts in Ash Creek, the town where Scott committed the last of his murders.
But the dark forces that once plagued his father have other plans for him.
David finds himself transported to a sinister realm called Undernight where he’s forced to participate in a life-or-death reality competition called Kill Them All. What he doesn’t know is his Undernight doppelganger has taken his place in the real world, and this David is as deadly a killer as Scott Raymond ever was, if not deadlier. While David struggles to survive nightmarish challenges based on his life, his doppelganger wreaks blood-soaked havoc at Killcon, leaving a trail of corpses in his wake.
A mysterious woman named Miranda – who may or may not be the same Miranda who introduced David’s father to the depraved realm of Shadow – comes to David’s aid. But is her true intention to help him live long enough to win the game, or does she have other, darker motives of her own?
The two Davids eventually confront each other halfway between Earth and Undernight, and there they learn they’ve both been pawns in a much larger game, one that stretches back twenty years. If they can’t stop it, two worlds will be destroyed. But even if they can, there’s no guarantee their victory won’t result in something infinitely worse.
Let the games within games begin…
