Randy Gomez has summoned a demon from his living-room rug.

He's sad, high, drunk, and his neighbor in their high-rise apartment building keeps blasting party music. If the demon still can't get the job done, well then the conflict is just going to have to escalate.

That could mean beatings, fire, guns, swords, zombies, monsters, seduction, magic spells, or all of the above. (But definitely not diplomacy.)

Matthew Atkinson calls up from another dimension his first novel, A GOOD CREATURE, where a petty dispute erupts into a sexy, pulpy, high-altitude bloodbath in true Atkinson style.
