As She Stabbed Me Gently in the Face

Description

Oksana Maslovskiy is an award-winning artist, an internationally adored fashion model, and one of the most infamous serial killers this country has ever known. She enjoys murdering pretty young men with a nine-inch blade, cutting them open and admiring their delicate insides. It s the only way she knows how to be intimate with another human being. But one day she meets a victim who cannot be killed. His name is Gabriel--a mysterious immortal being with a deep desire to save Oksana s soul. He makes her a deal: if she promises to never kill another person again, he ll become her eternal murder victim.

What at first seems like the perfect relationship for Oksana quickly devolves into a living nightmare when she discovers that Gabriel enjoys being killed by her just a little too much. He turns out to be obsessive, possessive, and paranoid that she might be murdering other men behind his back. And because he is unkillable, it s not going to be easy for Oksana to get rid of him.

As She Stabbed Me Gently in the Face is a metaphor for a bad relationship, told in the form of a sociopathic killer s affair with an even more sociopathic victim. From the mind of Wonderland Book Award winner Carlton Mellick III, author of Hungry Bug and Quicksand House, comes one of the strangest and most gruesome love stories ever put to print.
