    Summary

    Detective Erwin Smith is a family man, first and foremost. He goes to church on Sundays, he has a wife and two beautiful children, and is well-regarded by his neighbors and coworkers alike. Sure, every man has his secrets, his struggles between himself and the Lord, but Erwin has never known any man whose waters run as dark and deep as Levi's, his mysterious new partner. With Levi's arrival comes a new breed of monster leaving a trail of dead children in its wake. The clock skips a beat and before Erwin knows it, life will never be the same. A storm is coming to Southern Louisiana, the forgotten children of God have known it for a while now in their crack-houses, truck stops and the thick of the woods. The sky grows dark around the body of a little boy in New Iberia and the wrath of irascible men threatens to tear the world right open.

    Eruri, Southern Gothic, True Detective-inspired, 1990’s setting, Crime Solving, Dark.

    Summary

    “Tsushima Shuuji,” Chuuya reads out loud. “A bright, optimistic young man with a pep in his step and a zest for life. Hang on–is this referring to you?”

    “Unfortunately,” Dazai laments, sighing dramatically. “You just got away with ‘science nerd’ and ‘soccer player,’ but I’m supposed to be an artist! I hate art! It’s useless!”

    “Shut the fuck up. That’s not the problem here. You? A ‘zest for life?’ Looking forward to each new morning? Hah! Rimbaud would sooner come back to life.”

    Dazai turns to Chuuya with the barest facsimile of a smile painted over his lips.

    “I,” he says sweetly, “am going to gut you open like a fish.”

    Dazai and Chuuya are seasoned mafiosos at the ripe old age of almost-seventeen. They’ve fought gang wars, interrogated prisoners, and done all manner of unspeakable things. Now, they face their greatest challenge yet: going (undercover) to a real high school. With regular teens (who may or may not be desperately trying to get them to kiss).
    One thing’s for sure: this school is unprepared for the absolute calamity that is Double Black.
