A college weekend turns into a bloody nightmare in this “heady mix of high-octane horror, razor-sharp characterization, and full-throttle action” (Tim Waggoner, author of Like Death).
Every Saturday night during football season, College Heights is overrun by a frenzy of hard-partying students. For the local brewery, it’s a recipe for success. For many others, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. But this Saturday night is different. Because instead of beer-pong and karaoke, College Heights is about to become a maelstrom of arson, murder, and cannibalism.
One minute, everyone’s having a blast. The next minute, the crowded bars, balconies, and house parties look like so many acres of hell. Now a charismatic drug dealer, a disenfranchised army vet, and a smart, tough-as-leather girl must struggle to survive. Meanwhile, a brilliant, demented sociopath gleefully strolls the chaos, fulfilling sadistic fantasies.
