Drew Aldrin, young guitarist and street rough, barely survives a boating accident due to the help of a woman who claims she’s from Atlantis. She proceeds to seduce him and promote his band. But despite newfound success, Drew’s bandmates form their own opinions about their new friend; while some love her more and more, others begin to despise her. Aided by zealots from a radical church, the defectors begin making strange claims indeed. All rides on whether Drew can return the favor he owes his liaison from Atlantis, and on whether she is who she truly claims to be.

“Slash of Crimson brims with a sensual grittiness that is every bit as hypnotic and captivating as its mysterious heroine. Fans of Joe Hill or Neil Gaiman will appreciate Moore’s keen knack for description and atmosphere that all comes together in a contemporary gothic tale that sinks in its claws on the very first page and doesn’t let go even after its thrilling conclusion.” – Allison M. Dickson, Author of Dust

“I meant to read it in a couple sittings and then I was trapped. I never got up from the screen. I knew the hero was in trouble from the start, but I had no idea. As the world grew bigger, the danger closed in tighter. Carl Moore created an adventure that I wasn’t prepared for. I never felt safe and I was surprised with each page right up to the end.” – Jay Wilburn, author of Loose Ends, a zombie novel

“With Slash of Crimson Carl Moore has crafted a tale that will pull you in, hold you close, and keep you reading until the last sentence.
