About this listen

 Euphoria meets Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke in this latest novel by the Bram Stoker Award–winning author Hailey Piper, following a couple whose search to spice up their sex life leads them down a path of madness.

A kink-fixated couple, Carmen and Blanca, have been in a rut. That is until Blanca discovers the enigmatic Smoke in an under-street drug den, who holds pages to a strange play, The King in Yellow. Read too much, and you’ll fall into madness. But read just a little and pull back, and it gives you the adrenaline rush of survivor’s euphoria, leading Carmen to fall into a game of lust at a nightmare’s edge.

As the line blurs between the world Carmen knows and the one that she visits after reading from the play, she begins to desire more time in this other world no matter what horrors she brings back with her.

Bram Stoker Award–winning author Hailey Piper masterfully blends horror, erotica, and psychological thriller in this captivating and chilling story. Genre Fiction Horror Literature & Fiction Scary

An engrossing, rich read - the story aspect I had most knowledge of was the King in Yellow so this was a compelling insight into cultures I'm pretty oblivious to but with Carmen as a clear, empathetic if troubled guide through her world and into other realms. That said, we've all worked with *those* office colleagues! Overall, a vivid, contemporary cosmic horror that manages to feel slow burn and propulsive at the same time. Atmospheric in both writing and narration and I've alteady downloaded another book by the author!
