Publisher's Synopsis
Adam Farrisher, President of Avernus Studios, has created a new TV show - and people are dying to watch it. Over a hundred have been murdered so far.
Mr Slowly is an assassin plagued by nightmares of the victims of his own deadly work. He no longer kills people, and instead eliminates supernatural threats. His new mission: to stop Farrisher and the TV show dead. Entering the studios at night, Mr Slowly is baffled by what he finds. The building is a ruin, filthy and decrepit. There are no signs of Farrisher's workforce. And grotesque, flesh-eating horrors prowl the dark corridors... Mr Slowly will need all his lethal skills to succeed and survive the night... Yet some evil force in the studios is wearing him down - making him sick, wracking him with terrible pain and twisting his mind. The longer he spends inside, the weaker and more vulnerable he becomes... Can Mr Slowly solve the mystery, kill his target and get out alive?
