A wild, sexy, irreverent novel following a woman's decision to blow up her seemingly perfect life, and her descent into a chaos-worshipping apocalypse cult.

“Imagine an apocalypse so queer, sultry, and heat-soaked that you wrap your arms around it and give it a lush kiss” — Chelsea G. Summers, author of A Certain Hunger

“Sizzling with juicy irreverence, Welcome to the Chaoskampf chooses life at its messiest, and fullest” — Gerardo Samano Córdova, author of Monstrilio

“As stunningly outrageous as it is eerily real... this book is tremendous” — Michelle Tea, author of Valencia

The year that Florida fell into the sea, I killed a man, joined a cult, and ran away to Mexico. I ate human flesh for the first time.

It's another sticky summer in New Orleans, and the world is ending. Tourists are descending on the city, natural disasters abound, and Marcy's old boxing scar has reopened. It's enough to make any girl want to take her seemingly perfect life and set it all on fire.

So when Marcy meets a crew of degenerate filmmakers hell-bent on summoning the apocalypse, she lets herself be swept into their world of filth, arson, and debauchery.

They think her scar might mark her as their Chosen one, and she's never been able to resist a bit of flattery. Who wouldn't want to bring about a revolution? But the more entangled she becomes in their world, the harder it is to resist the very power she swore to burn...

“A battle hymn to the chaos goblin that lurks within us all” — Leon Craig, author of The Decadence

“A dizzy and exhilarating freefall into apocalyptic chaos” — Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta, authors of Feast While You Can

“It feels like anything can happen in Flett's audacious and mesmerizing second novel, and in many ways, everything does” — Marcy Dermansky, author of The Red Car

Praise for Freakslaw

“A transgressive, inventive dark fantasy”Guardian

“Cracking with desire, hedonism, angst, violence and sex”Heat

“A celebration of the marginalised”Observer

“As frightening as it is seductive”Herald
