Description

The saying ‘Hell is empty, and all the devils are here,’ has never been more true.

Good parenting doesn’t inherently mean that a child will grow up to be a pillar of the community, just like bad parenting doesn’t turn children into devil worshippers. There are other, much more sinister forces at play than human ignorance; the same things that breed serial killers, rapists, drug addicts, child abductors, and terrorists, and relish in the anguish caused by such grievous acts. The monsters you think are merely infantile nightmares are real. The only difference is that they’re not lurking under your bed or in your closet, but hiding in plain sight. They’re part of your everyday life, watching you, just waiting for half a chance.

Alexandria Baines is neither working on becoming canonized, nor takes part in Black Mass, yet she is still stuck with the frustrating ability to see things no human should be forced to see. With a blotchy education history and a rap-sheet that is as long as her mental health record, she has no hope for any kind of stable lifestyle. What started as a one-off job dealing with the supernatural with the help from two of her acquaintances - a perpetually cynical antique dealer named Julian, and the debaucherous Domino, her only childhood friend - Lex has come to find herself in a particularly obscure situation...With an even stranger rabble of strays that seem to grow by the week.

Her journey may have started just over two years ago with what she had confused for an archaic perfume vial, but now, there was no such thing as ordinary; Not even close. And it becomes even more apparent that all six walls of the box she is living in are being torn down by creatures that don’t belong anywhere near humans.

Foreword

Alexandria Baines
Take Me Back To Where I Was - Shiny Toy Guns
“Ever since I was a kid, a little fuckin’ kid, people have told me I was crazy, and worse: a liar. They said I was disturbed or an attention-seeker, that I imagined the things I cried over, the things I drew. Then as I grew, they said I was angry at the world for no reason. Who wouldn’t be angry at being called a liar? I didn’t have anyone besides Dom for a long, long time. She was, and still is, my best friend, and I trust her with my life. So, if you think I’m gonna sit here and listen to your second-rate Hannibal monologue of the pain you have in mind for her, then you’ve had one too many blue Smarties.”

Domino Alvarez
The Boys Are Too Refined - The Hush Sound
“We started off as a pair of abandoned babies, and we grew up fast in a place that wasn’t fit for anybody. You learn real quick to stop blindly trusting in people when the ones who are supposed to nurture and care for you constantly betray your confidence and try to break you. In over twenty years, we’ve survived abuse of all kinds, and religious fanatics; we may not have forgiven our transgressors, but we have learnt how to deal with our pasts. We’ve fought the things of gothic novels, and we’re still here. Now we’re faced with Gods. As a person whom has endured the system of a Catholic orphanage, I’m sorry to say it, but I’m a little underwhelmed.”

Julian Darby
What’s My Age Again - Blink 182
“Nope, I’m not mad; there’s no denying that my car was already a wreck. Getting a celestial being to use his powers to steal designer shoes - I never put it past you. Trashing the shop - I can understand that you can’t pick where a supernatural brawl breaks out. I mean, what’s a few broken 13th century China vases and torn oil paintings between friends? I will not, however, brush off what transpired last night. People can’t just go around eating other people’s pet cats!”

Kassandra Samuels
Dirty Pretty - In This Moment
“Just because I had living relatives doesn’t mean that I had a family. I’ve tried to shrug off the remarks and the look you give Jules and I every time that subject is brought up. I’ve tried to chalk it up to your horrendous people-skills or rather, lack of, but what you just said wasn’t only ignorant, it was downright cruel.”

Kaylen Hart
Loverboy - YouMeAtSix
“What is it that you really want? No, honestly, I’m curious. It’s been driving me mad not being able to figure it out. The go-to is usually money and power, but you just take what you want - both of you. Maybe it has something to do with where you grew up? I think you know as well as anyone what St Emiliani’s Orphanage did to people.”

Zadkiel
Bloodstream - Stateless
“I have often pondered why Father made you silly little beings. I also wondered just as much why my brothers held such contempt for you when you’re already rife with sickness, and wild emotions, and have such feeble mortality. Since living here, I can at least say you’re an amusing bunch, if nothing else.”

Nikita Wray
Stay - Shakespear’s Sister
“I’ve never been a happy person. I had a lot to deal with growing up, and nobody to explain why it was happening. I was a shadow to humans, but a beacon the things that prey on the living. I was stuck. I had nowhere to go, and nobody to tell me I wasn’t as mad as a Hatter. Of course I did horrible things to get by, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t regret any of them.”

Mephistopheles
Lurk - The Neighbourhood
“She’s a friend....With benefits...Hey, I’m a sucker for a perky ass attached to a resourceful woman. What can I say? I’ve racked up quite the tab.”

Asmodeus
Fully Loaded - Warner Drive
“You’re in my yard now. My game; my rules. Come on, show me what’s gotten my brothers so bloody scared.”

Samael
Savages - Theory of a Deadman ft Alice Cooper
“My Father is too busy for the likes of you. You’re a vile whore; you’re vermin. You surround yourself with disgraced wretches, and your very existence is a violation against nature. You have no place in Heaven, and even Hell doesn’t want anything to do with you. Let’s not make a martyr of you. Come along quickly and let me put you out of your misery.”

Belial
Killer - The Ready Set
“Hey, Cate. Stop breakin’ my balls. If you insist on running your mouth the entire time you’re in my company, I have the perfect job for you. It’s a lot more entertaining than going on about the Buffy and Willow expy’s, but it'll still keep those pretty lips busy.”

Mormo
Revelations - Audioslave
“I hope I don’t need to tell you that this relationship is based upon millennia of trust building activities, and I’m not talking about trust-leaning. The mere fact you need to ask me what you just did has hurt me deeply.”

Hecate
Friction - Imagine Dragons
“Of course I dislike you; I dislike your entire kind, but feel special in face of knowing that I despise you that bit more.”
