"I know monsters, Ebb. And you're not one of them."
Jennifer Darling's life is unravelling. A teenage runaway with a drug-fuelled past, she's trapped in a mundane existence with Tony, her boyfriend and former dealer. Desperate to escape. Desperate to live. She dreams of something greater than she's been given.
Ebb has moved in across the street. Cold. Feral. And prone to murderous outbursts. She houses a terrifying secret, but desires to be something more.
When these two lost souls meet, an unusual friendship begins.
But with the news of Morris, Tony's sadistic best friend and heroin-dealing partner, being released from prison, Jennifer knows it's only a matter of time before his path of vengeance leads to her and Ebb, too.
Part dark fantasy. Part psychological horror. Black Cross is a five-part serial from a would-be writer.
