Blood & Mud

Austin Poet and author, John Baltisberger, (ARTIFICE OF FLESH, THE CONFIGURATION DISCORDANT) makes his St Rooster Books debut with a powerful kaiju novella full of Jewish mysticism, death, and destruction. When a good man is senselessly murdered by white nationalists during Chicago's Gay pride event, Satan reaches a breaking point with humanity and summons a horrifying golem to make mankind pay for centuries of sin, defying his brothers and sisters in Heaven and the armies of men. BLOOD & MUD is a gut punch of a book that you never saw coming. Also included is an essay on Jewish occultism and mythology, revealing the rich tapestry of mystery and history that inspired Baltisberger and this harrowing novella.
