Never make a deal at the crossroads. But if you do, certainly never buy your riches with someone else’s pound of flesh.

The late thirties in the Deep South were hard, unforgiving times. But for Henry, Tanner, and Edgar, things have miraculously turned around. The only catch is that if they want to keep their good fortune, they have to tend to a … pet.

Aside from their nightly pet sitting duties, their lavish new lives in Shreveport have been gravy. Henry has his prestigious medical practice. Tanner has his slick, chromed-out Duesenberg dealership. And Edgar has two grocery stores that are the epitome of modernity.

The wealthy and influential folk of the Louisiana town have welcomed the three with open arms and wallets. Which, in the middle of the Great Depression, is no small feat. Especially when the three are full of shady secrets and lies.

Tonight, Henry is hosting a Halloween party for the elite, and the three friends must feed their little pet before they join the party. When things get out of hand, their pet slips her leash.

And once it’s snapped, all hell will break loose.

'Mine' is a gruesome erotic extreme horror novella in the style of Hellraiser, written from the perspective of the “Monster” but will leave you wondering who the real monster truly is.

Is it you, dear Reader?
