Synopsis

This program contains original music. The title track, "Evil in Me," is performed by The Maxines and written by Brom and AJ Grey of The Maxines.

"Rockers who love horror (or horror fans who love rock and roll) should give this tale a listen”—Library Journal

Evil in Me is bestselling author Brom's newest novel of possession, damnation, and rock 'n' roll, where one woman must get the world singing in order to save her soul.

Aspiring musician Ruby Tucker has had enough of her small rural town and dysfunctional family. But a falling out with her best friend and bandmate has killed her dreams of escaping and making it big in the Atlanta punk scene.

While helping her eccentric neighbor organize his religious artifacts, an ancient ring clamps down on her finger—possessing her with the spirit of a blood-thirsty demon. There’s no exorcizing it unless hundreds of people chant a spell to set Ruby free. And what’s worse, the ring is a beacon for evil, drawing an unimaginably wicked mob straight to Ruby, hungry for her flesh.

If Ruby can get her band back together, she has a shot at salvation. It's time for her to face the music and put her whole soul into a song—one powerful enough to raise some Hell.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

About Brom

Over the past few decades, acclaimed dark fantasy artist Brom has lent his distinctive vision to all facets of the creative industries, from novels and games to comics and film.

About Shahjehan Khan

Shahjehan Khan is a Pakistani-American narrator, actor, and touring musician. He fell into this work when a producer at Audible heard his punk band interviewed on NPR in 2009, but didn’t start to dive into the medium until relatively recently, thanks in large part to the lovely folks at Macmillan Audio who have believed in him since his first title with them. Although he is now often distracted with roles in movies, TV, and playing in all his bands, he will always love the booth. He’s now approaching 30 official titles with many of the major publishers and recently won his first Earphones award. Shaj’s voice is on the chill, smooth, and calming side, but he’s definitely skilled at pushing it and finding multiple characters within a story with consistency and agility. He’s also an award-winning podcast host and producer: his show “King of The World” was nominated for an Ambie and a Webby; and he’s currently producing a Tribeca-nominated mini series on groovy 60s psychedelic Pakistani music called “Karachi Nights”.His main inspiration is his awesome and super smart scientist partner Lauren.

Omg! This is the type of book amazing cult horror movies are made from. I’d watch it in a heartbeat! It’s weird and creepy and just the right amount of violent.

2.5 Stars This was a bit of a miss for me. Objectively, this one offered a fine delivery of a very classic horror story involving the cursed object trope. However, it failed to invoke much of an emotional response for me. My biggest disappointment was the artwork which is usually my favourite part of......more

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

"A fast-paced, hallucinogenic fairy tale...delivering likable protagonists, exotic beasties, and scoundrels whom we long to see at table with their just desserts." —Christopher Buehlman, author of The Blacktongue Thief

Slewfoot takes hold of the maxim 'sympathy for the devil' and yanks hard on that literary taproot, unearthing a far more elemental and complex truth. Demon or no, evil or not, the mighty stag Slewfoot deserves our love and devotion. All hail Brom, all hail Slewfoot!” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother

"Slewfoot is an extraordinary, harrowing tale about a remarkable friendship and a demon trying to find his soul. It’s a journey of witchcraft, misogyny, paganism, and piety. It left me spellbound and my tortured black heart devoured this story looking for more." —Cemetery Dance
