Three friends. One intestine-eating demon. And a whole lot of blood. Leni was kidnapped and almost sacrificed to the devil as a child. Emerson was a leading heart surgeon until The Incident that left his patient dead. Jasper sees a man in the shadows who likes the taste of blood. They're fine . They're normal.

They're roommates making it work in New York City. But after their landlord raises their rent, they soon discover an even bigger problem: a demonic sigil, painted in gore on their living room wall, demanding payment of another kind. Now, they have seven days to bring Sychar a sacrifice, or he'll tear off their skin. Who knew demon-slaying wasn't a valid excuse to miss work? How is a low-income household supposed to afford a human sacrifice? And just how far are they willing to go to keep each other safe? The blood-slicked, riveting and darkly humorous new novel from Kylie Lee Baker, the critically acclaimed, Sunday Times bestselling, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author of Bat Eater and Japanese Gothic .
