The Crimson Traveler

Matt Strollo

STEPHEN KING and GILLIAN FLYNN meet BREAKING BAD. Werewolf noir...where addiction and organized crime drive moral collapse. Every bloodline carries a curse. This one howls. THE CRIMSON TRAVELER is a gritty examination of addiction, violence and organized crime, told through a supernatural lens. Set in modern-day Pennsylvania, the novel follows two women, Liz Campbell, a drug-addicted ex-marine, and Macy Burkhardt, an unsuspecting suburban mechanic, as their paths intersect with a lineage of werewolves. On their journey to find a cure for their accidental curse, they collide with Desmond O’Connell, a psychopathic Wolf King from England, struggling to hold together a crumbling dynasty of criminal shapeshifters. In the midst of a re-emerging war, the King’s connection with his bloodline threatens to bring him to his knees, while a mysterious and fatal plague strips the whole syndicate of its humanity. A dark fusion of noir and supernatural horror, THE CRIMSON TRAVELER is an unsentimental tale about inherited violence, family obligation and the monsters inside us.
