Shivering in Hell

Some crooks are so cold they'll still be shivering in hell. Boris is a petty criminal who reluctantly comes back to the one place where everything always goes horribly wrong...home. Desperately needing a payday, he agrees to assist a former classmate in kidnapping the son of a corrupt judge as part of an ill-conceived plan to help an imprisoned acquaintance and score some quick cash. Predictably, the scheme blows up in their faces, forcing Boris to scramble to survive. With one partner in a coma (thanks to a bullet in the brain), and another turned homicidal maniac in an effort to cover his tracks, Boris allies himself with the judge's junkie son and a local working girl in possession of some very profitable secrets. Over the course of a snowy weekend in rural Kansas, the trio attempt to play their enemies against each other and cash in on the sordid skeletons hidden in the town's closet. But can they trust each other to stay out of their own way? Or will their insecurities cost them their lives?

Taking its cue from the work of Joe R. Lansdale, S.A. Cosby, and Jordan Harper, Shivering in Hell is the story of a damaged man struggling to survive in a harsh world made even more unforgiving by his own missteps. Featuring no shortage of shady deals, violence, sex, and dark comedy, it introduces a quick-witted and often unreliable narrator. Boris is not a good guy, but surrounded by even worse guys, even a bad guy is due for a break. Just ask him.
