About this book

Decades ago, a young rock and blues guitarist and junkie named Niko made a blood pact that transformed him into a music legend. When the love of his life falls mysteriously and mortally ill, he realizes the deal has cost him more than he anticipated. Desperate to save her, Niko embarks on a harrowing journey from the streets of Los Angeles through downtown subway tunnels and across a red-lit plain of hell to perform the most important gig of his life and reclaim his lost love's soul. The novel draws on the myths of Orpheus, Dante, and Faust, as well as the Crossroads legend, weaving them into a quest across a Hieronymus Bosch-like landscape of myth, music, and mayhem. The story explores themes of addiction, damnation, and redemption, blending beauty, brutality, and humor throughout. Winner of the 2011 Emperor Norton Award for best novel by a San Francisco Bay Area writer.
