We are so excited to reveal the cover for Chris Panatier’s novel, KILL ME WITH FIRE…
Two women fall victim to a dormant curse, transforming them into feral witches. One resists, the other... doesn't.
Alice is a solitary accountant with no life and one friend. Jennet is a damn-the-consequences enigma. The two are nothing alike. Until a chance encounter at a foraging outing gives them something in common: an onslaught of rapid aging and a hunger for infants.
Having gone their separate ways, Alice copes by finding a number of questionable, but less morally objectionable approaches to stave off the witch growing within. Jennet's methods are decidedly more...self-serving.
Despite Alice's best efforts, her path keeps crossing with Jennet's, before coming to a head in "this decade's most visceral examination of the witch" (Wendy N. Wagner), from Esquire's Best Horror of 2024 honoree Chris Panatier.
Chris Panatier is an artist and writer living in Dallas, Texas, with his wife, daughter and a fluctuating herd of dog-like creatures (one is almost certainly a goat). He writes short stories and novels, including The Phlebotomist, Stringers, and The Redemption of Morgan Bright.
Chris has also been a trial attorney in environmental cases for two decades. He represents people who have been injured, poisoned, or killed due to the conduct of others.
