Love can be hell…
When a rock musician learns her ex-boyfriend is the Biblical Antichrist, she must find a way to stop him before he grows powerful enough to end the world. Daisy Jones And The Six meets The Omen in this novel about music, free will, and the apocalypse.
“It’s a familiar story: the starry rise and tragic fall of a rock band. This is not that story. This is one you haven’t heard—a tale of divine prophecy and a breakup. Oh, and the apocalypse.”
1999: At the Armageddon Battle of the Bands, pop-punk group the Shivers fought Universal Priest in an epic musical showdown. What started the shocking riot that claimed the lives of nine teens?
2010: At the height of stardom, the Shivers’ frontwoman Lily Lawless walked into a police station to confess to murder. Why did she do it, and why did she wait ten years to confess?
2011: The band broke up after Lily’s arrest, its members refusing to talk to the press. What secrets were they protecting?
NOW: In this oral history, Lily and the rest of the Shivers finally tell all about how a rock band that inspired a generation might have saved the world.
“One hell of a performance! With My Ex, the AntiChrist, Craig diLouie once again proves he is a master of the epistolary genre. Immersive, compelling, and chillingly plausible. It’s as if you were there. Resounding.” —Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Awards-winning author of Grotesque: Monster Stories
“The ultimate battle draped in rock and roll… DiLouie’s latest novel is an exciting glimpse into music history and the enigmatic 2000s with a timeless tale about the end of the world and love, of all things, as its connective tissue. What a wild ride.” —L. Marie Wood, author of The Realm Trilogy and The Promise Keeper
