The winter before he was sixteen, Pup sold his soul to the devil.
He wasn't quite sure what he was going to get in exchange. For the time
being, all he asked for was to be happy, and to grow a bit taller. Even
though she was older than Pup, Dolly was always in awe of her brother.
More and more, she wanted to believe that he had occult powers and could
do anything. Magic could remove the birthmark from her face and make
her normal. Magic could kill their wicked stepmother, Myra. Pup laughs

explores a haunted world of obsession, delusions and murderous fantasy....
