Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job: Kris is working at a truly fleabag motel when the book starts.Her story only intersects with Kris's much later. Deuteragonist: Melanie Gutierrez, a hard-working Koffin fan from West Virginia, is introduced in an early chapter.The questions are 'What kind of deal?' and 'Which devil?' As the crowd starts to get crazy violent, Melanie seems moments away from being ripped apart, crushed, or sexually assaulted when she is picked up by a technician who saves her life. At the Terry's farewell concert, Melanie is picked up and surfs the crowd. The Chase: After Scottie and his family's murder, it's Kris running from Terry, or the real power behind him, Black Mountain, as they try to have her killed across the US.He's refashioned himself as the Blind King and launched a successful new band called Koffin while the others have been forgotten. Break Up Breakout: Terry Hunt, Dürt Würk's frontman, is an in-universe example.And, in the end, she saved thousands of people, but she was either kidnapped and murdered by Terry's goons, or she ran away and lived in hiding for the rest of her life, or she ended up going somewhere else completely. Being Good Sucks: Kris managed to preserve her own soul but she ended up broke, deeply depressed, borderline suicide and alienated from all her friends and family.He's also lost the ability to create anything new any song he writes is either an obvious retread of previous work, total garbage, or both, which for an artist is a level of hell in itself.

Being Evil Sucks: Kris doesn't realize that it does, but Terry tells her so when she finally meets up with him - no matter how many souls he gave Black Mountain, it was never enough and he knew what he was doing was terrible and was going to land him in hell.Whatever equilibrium she has in destitution is upset when Dürt Würk's former rhythm guitarist, Scottie Rocket, commits suicide and his family is murdered by what appear to be UPS deliverymen. Kris Pulaski discovered metal as a teen, had ambitions for her music and Dürt Würk, a band she played with and loved. Quirk Books published it in hardcover with an appropriately black and red cover.
