Fire In The Valley

By Thomas Zimmerman

Read By Sally Benson

Tonight, under a baleful full moon, with a wildfire raging, Nicole Vecchio and Archie Kovac prepare to shoot their most bizarre adult film yet at their mansion in the San Fernando Valley. As owners of Just4U Productions, they've seen it all—but nothing like this.

Their enigmatic client, known only as Mr. X, has spared no expense. He brings in AVN’s Best New Starlet of 2023, Missy McQueen, and deploys camera drones that resemble clockwork herons. The script is far from ordinary; it's a detailed blueprint for an occult sex ritual centered around a painting by the infamous occult artist Jun Kyogo.

As the ritual unfolds, reality begins to distort. Nicole and Archie find themselves unwilling participants in a sinister invocation. As the performers transform before their eyes, the couple must band together to navigate the chaos and survive the night.

Will they escape the dark forces they’ve awakened or become part of the macabre masterpiece themselves?
