Scream of the butterfly
Here’s what award-winning authors are saying about Scream of the Butterfly:
"Like the Jim Morrison of horror fiction, Christophe Maso won’t stop breaking the rules. Indeed, even after you’ve made it to 'The End' of his dark tale of madness and desire, you may still find it hard to 'Break On Through' the lingering shadows."
-- Josh Schlossberg, award-winning author of MALINAE and editor of THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR
"In Scream of the Butterfly, Christophe Maso wraps big questions about the nature and limits of love in a propulsive narrative that punches above its weight class. A strong debut, this novella both delivers on its own promise and marks Maso as a writer to watch. Closely."
-- John Langan, author of Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies
Christophe’s debut novella, Scream of the Butterfly, is now available on Godless.com and Amazon, published by D&T Publishing. In this paranormal/contemporary Southern Gothic tale, James Laurent has a story he needs to tell you. The future’s looking bright for him, the gifted son of a wealthy, powerful political couple in 1980s North Carolina. But he carries a dark secret—he’s a ruthless sociopath who’s done terrible things, and he doesn’t know how to love.
That is, until he meets Morgan, a fellow student at his high school, during his senior year. As they fall in love and grow close, James’s dormant humanity begins to awaken. But Morgan harbors secrets of her own…and as James will learn, there are things far worse than him walking this earth.
Scream of the Butterfly is available on Godless.com, and will be available in digital and print on Amazon.com on May 13, 2022.
REVIEWS
Feast of the senses
Christophe’s first published short story, “Feast of the Senses”, is the last in this favorably-reviewed anthology of eighteen terrifying tales centered around the legendary “Wendigo”— a creature of unnatural and insatiable hunger from the lore of Northeastern Native American tribes.
A noir tale set in New York City at the height of the hedonistic 2020s. Half of the city’s population has been wiped out by the deadly COVID-22 virus, as the nation teeters on the brink of world war. A young, half Japanese business school graduate returns to Manhattan to interview for an executive position with an extravagant sex club, hungry for a second chance to write her own New York fairy tale. But one should be careful what one hungers for, especially in the city that never sleeps…
