Tinkerbell Fanny McWiddle has murdered 1327 people in three years, which is quite unusual because 77-and-a-half-year-old grandmothers usually kill far fewer people.

And today she wants to make it 1328.

Wouldn't you if the great holy bullock charged you with saving the world when you would rather be enjoying a picked egg and the six o'clock news?

But no, the holy one is immortal, isn't he.

It doesn't help that a pocket-billiards-playing, hook-nosed sociopath who lives over her back fence has started dating the local Satan.

Which is why the world needs saving. Quite urgently actually.

And while Tinkerbell is mewing about the inconvenience of it all, things are only going to get worse.

Best get on with it then.

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of. Content and/or trigger warning: This story contains detailed scenes of murder, rape, torture, sex and stalking, which may be triggering for some readers. [[word count: 80,000-90,000 words]]
