About this ebook
Utopian anarchists are pitted against rogue demon deer in this dropkick-in-the-mouth punk fantasy that Alan Moore calls “scary and energetic.”
Searching for clues about her best friend’s mysterious suicide, Danielle ventures to the squatter, utopian town of Freedom, Iowa, and witnesses a protector spirit—in the form of a blood-red, three-antlered deer—begin to turn on its summoners. She and her new friends have to act fast if they’re going to save the town—or get out alive.
“A dark story of the human need for power.” —Eileen Gunn, author of Stable Strategies and Others
“Daring anti-fantasy.” —Nick Mamatas, author of Sabbath
“A unique bite of punk culture.” —Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times–bestselling author
“Important, thought-provoking . . . thrilling ride.” —Lewis Shiner, author of Glimpses
“Always vivid.” —Tobias Buckell, New York Times–bestselling author
“As relatable as it is harrowing.” —Leanna Renee Hieber, author of Darker Still
“Utterly engrossing . . . it refuses to let you go.” —Mur Lafferty, author of Station Eternity

A horrible book. The characters are very unbelievable and the story is just slow and too far out to strike a chord with me.
