Pretty Hate Machine: Book One

A macabre tale told from the monster's perspective.

Pretty Hate Machine is the new, strange and wicked series created by the strange and wicked mind of A.X. Salvo.

Episode One introduces us to the trials of Orion. The ruthless beast that stalks the streets of the dystopian Chaoxte in search of human prey.

During the pursuit of a grifter called Roo, Orion encounters a mysterious child with a horrific secret that will alter Orion's life forever. Now, with the help of an odd, mechanical bird named Pinion and the mystical Lady Night, Orion begins a savage quest through the bowels of Chaoxte in search of vengeance and redemption.

Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Neil Gaiman, Japanese anime, and the films The Crow, Taxi Driver, Alien, and Kill Bill - Pretty Hate Machine combines elements of science fiction, dark fantasy, and horror to deliver an intense, surreal, and unforgettable experience.

A.X. Salvo's writings and art have appeared in USA Today, MISC, Studio Visit Magazine, Bete Noir, The Adroit Journal, and The Anthologist. Salvo is the author of the popular The Teeth Of The World Are Sharp and is also the recipient of a Vermont Studio Center writer's grant.

Warning: This is a short read (1-2 hours) that contains strong language and graphic violence.
