Unholy

Magdalena, a forty-eight-year-old cloistered nun, has two days to stop the Apocalypse.

After she recruits Ana, a sex shop owner and domestic violence survivor, the duo set out to infiltrate the sex cult that will host the Antichrist's birth.

Magdalena's faith and determination are put to the test as she embraces her more sinful and sexual needs during the infiltration and second-guesses her childhood encounter with an archangel. Meanwhile, atheist Ana's worldview collapses at the realization of God's existence and the fact that an omnipotent being allowed the brutal murder of her eight-year-old daughter.

As they fall for each other, they will face the question: Would the Apocalypse be so bad after all?

J.V. Gachs, author of Epiphany and the forthcoming Spooky Lovers, brings readers her signature brand of Spanish religious horror in Unholy.

"Ever since reading Epiphany, I have thought J.V. Gachs was a wonderfully talented writer. Unholy proves she is also capable of great boldness and intensity. I blushed at the eroticism of this novel but was also taken with the sense of atmosphere, the theme of innocence and 'purity' versus agency and self-actualization, and the way Gachs explores the relationship between pleasure and pain."

-Christi Nogle, Bram Stoker Award(R) winning author of Beulah

"In Unholy, the lives of two women bound by destiny and scarred by obligation and suffering intertwine in a brutal and bawdy fight between good and evil. Succumb to JV Gachs' seduction and become a breathless initiate, anointed by blood and desire."

-Angela Sylvaine, author of Frost Bite and Chopping Spree

"Unholy gives readers the glorious lesbian nunsploitation we deserve, complete with a delicious satanic orgy and some genuinely tender moments. Gachs' writing is fun, flirty and a bloody treat."

-Lor Gislason, editor of Bound in Flesh

"Unholy is a dark, riveting tale of broken people trying to save a broken world amidst the approaching Apocalypse. Sinister, erotic, subversive, and violent, this story will burrow into your soul and stay with you for a long time."

-Pedro Iniguez, author of Fever Dreams of a Parasite

"With language rich as pomegranate wine, Unholy seduces the reader into a cosmic battle between the divine and the damned."

-Drew Huff, Author of Free Burn

"Unholy is a seductive novella that makes you question who you have faith in and why. It lets you not just feel, but revel, in what you might think is forbidden. By its final pages, you might just have something (or someone) new to believe in."

-T.T. Madden, author of The Familialists and The Cosmic Color

"A beautiful, gut-wrenching story of love, loss, and depravity. Gachs paints a deliciously wicked vision of the end of times."

-David-Jack Fletcher, award-winning author of Raven's Creek

"Depraved, sensual, and skin crawlingly-creepy, Unholy is a bloody horror genre-blender you won't want to miss."

-Chloe Spencer, author of Mewing and An Affinity for Formaldehyde

"Blood, sex, and the end of the world. J.V. Gach's Unholy is a titillating tale of virginal sacrifice, religious violence, and queer love that will have your heart (and more) pounding from beginning to end."

-A. P. Thayer, author of nightmarist fiction
