Description

A mass murderer, a musician, a dominatrix, and a private eye gather around a game of Snakes and Ladders on New Year's Day. Lenore is waiting to murder, A.J. is waiting to die, Roxanne waits to usher in the end of the world. And all McGraw wants for Christmas is Doctor Tin. Some of them will die. Some of them have died before.
Enter, if you will, the incendiary world of Doctor Tin--first introduced in the novel of the same name that won the first ever 3-Day Novel Contest in 1979, and included here in its entirety. You will never be the same again.
