The front cover of Psychosomatic Slaughter by Alicia Durst

Leon Holman, a guitarist and man of many deals, embarked on a journey to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a rock star. 

 

As a child in 1976, he made a blood-sealed pact with his best friend, Jimmy Ballard, to make it big together in a band. However, Leon's fascination with the macabre took him down a treacherous path in 1983, leading him to summon the Devil to help him make his dreams a reality. This deal would change his life forever, and Leon would be caught up in a web of dark deeds with a powerful entity. The story unfolds on the Sunset Strip during the Satanic Panic, following the rise of a band known as Psychosomatic Slaughter. 

 

Captivated by the allure of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, Leon is determined to achieve success at any cost, even if it means making dark bargains and sacrificing the lives of others.

Set in the 80s on Sunset Strip. A classic sell your soul for Rock n Roll. Rituals, sacrifice and a lovely little psychopathic narcissist at the center of it all

Jimmy and Leon are best friends from childhood, even though they came from different lifestyles. They loved the same type of music- Rock n Roll - right in the middle of the Satanic Panic. Luckily, Jimmy's family is very supportive of the duo.

The duo decides to start a rock band and after high school, they finally have a group together. Leon decides he will stop at nothing to be the best guitarist, and that's where it all goes to hell....literally.

Alicia is an amazing storyteller. She sucks you in from the beginning. I loved and felt bad for Leon at the beginning, but that only lasts so long.

I cant wait to read what else Alicia creates.
