          Darlene Boone is a survivor. For more than a year, she’s been bartending at the famous Teegarden Saloon, a honky tonk in the Texas Hill Country, while attempting to put her life back together in the wake of an abusive past. But when an axe-wielding maniac descends on The Teegarden during one of the bar's busiest nights of the year, Darlene, along with everyone else in the crowded establishment, will have to put down their whiskeys and take up the nearest weapon if they're to survive this unexpected night from hell. No one knows if they'll make it out alive, least of all Darlene, but one thing's for sure no matter what: Texans don't go down without a fight.

          “The blood flows faster than the whiskey in Neon Moon, a brutal ballad with lively characters who will two-step their way into your heart. Grace R. Reynolds serves up a rootin’-tootin’ hackin’-slashin’ good time!” —Brian McAuley, USA Today-bestselling author of Breathe In, Bleed Out

          “Drenched in poetic prose and a whole lotta whiskey, Neon Moon is one of the best slashers I’ve read in a while. It’s an absolute thrill ride. Reynolds has crafted a killer that makes Leatherface look like a puppy.” —Emily Ruth Verona, author of Midnight on Beacon Street and Shiva

          “The jukebox runs red in this deep-fried slasher that twists horror tropes like a do-si-do. With Neon Moon, Reynolds gives us an intelligent genre exercise that mixes survivor narrative and revenge thriller with buckets upon buckets of blood.” —Joey Powell, author of Night Games and Squirming All the Way Up

          “Neon Moon is the honky-tonk bridal-shower slasher of your nightmares. Reynolds offers a Roadhouse-meets-Leatherface mashup with a Western final girl who literally gives the patriarchy the axe.” —Wendy Dalrymple, author of Bed Rot Baby and Killer Summer

          “Grace R. Reynolds takes you by the wrist and drags you through the mud, blood, and dark liquor that swirls through the veins of Neon Moon. She deftly captures the essence of Texas and the gritty, leathered souls that populate these pages. Every step into the Teegarden brings with it a shot of rattlesnake venom, so please dear reader, be ready for the burn.” —Jeremy Megargee, author of Soulmates, Crown of Carrion, and These Words Leave Scars

          “Soaked in sin, Neon Moon is brilliant, chilling, and delightfully bloody. It’s the perfect Texas slasher, with brutal twists and turns that will have your jaw on the floor, gripping the pages until the very end. Every gruesome encounter is interwoven with lush description that truly showcases Reynolds’s poetic skill, adding a dreamy, dizzying layer to the carnage.” —Sirius, author of Rising Sun Over the Devil's Nest

          “Neon Moon is a briskly paced slasher, featuring memorable characters, a western saloon dripping with nostalgia, and a twist that arrives like a jump scare in the heat of the night.” —Kayli Sholz, author of Saint Grit, Black Rain Season, and Yeehaw Junction
