Confessions of an Antichrist -- Marta Ska?i, Paperback

A delightfully twisted crime novel with an unreliable narrator, Confessions of an Antichrist tells the tale of the rise and fall of a Norwegian band of wannabe-Satanists embarking on a mission to burn the world down with black metal.

Marta Ska is on a mission to destroy the world.

Rebelling against the picturesque Norwegian fishing town that she was born in, Marta pulls together a chaotic black metal band of disturbing depravity that she knows will be the perfect weapon to corrupt the masses. If they can survive to the end of the week.

Not easy when the band consists of a simpleminded drummer, a Viking-obsessed bass player, a sex-addicted lead guitarist and a terrifying vocalist who is very likely the Antichrist.

But, as a record deal seems just within reach, everything falls apart. And thus begins the spiralling descent into madness as Marta and her strange, sordid group battle fascists, Christians and ultimately each other, before coming to the realisation that one of them is significantly more evil than they had ever imagined...

Set in contemporary Norway, Marta chronicles her descent into chaos and murder, fuelled by a toxic cocktail of love, hate and madness. From burning down churches to satanic orgies, Confessions of an Antichrist combines murder, mystery, and music in a fast paced and hair-raising story.
