Bad Moon Books is now taking pre-orders for the my novelette, The Bitchfight.

THE FIGHT IS ON! Here’s the twisted story description from the back cover:

Somewhere deep in the Black Mountains outside of Vegas, men of all kinds secretly gather to wager on a very special sport. A crowd of them surrounds a pit in the ground, cheering as money changes hands and spotlights beam down from the tops of tractor trailers, illuminating the dusty arena in a sickening glow. Cages are carried to opposite sides of the ring, like Egyptian queens. The crowd goes nuts. Somewhere in the din, a dog howls…and a child mewls.The Bitchfight — the mob’s most bizarre underground dogfighting operation — is about to begin.And as the mob’s newly acquired “ringside doctor” is about to find out, it will take much more than a degree in veterinary medicine to help save these animals — and himself — from their terrible fate. A horn blares. The cages open. The animals charge in a flurry of leather and spikes and sharpened teeth. Welcome to the ring.

ACCLAIM…
“Savage and grotesque — and oh so well done.” – Simon Wood, author of Paying the Piper

“The Bitchfight is like a nesting doll of depravity–every time you think Arnzen has maxed-out the possible weirdness level, he pops open another doll and there’s something even more messed up inside. But, hey, it’s a Mike Arnzen story, which by definition means that it is a) utterly demented, and b) utterly brilliant. Another twisted classic from one of my all-time favorite authors.” –Jeff Strand, author of Pressure
