Description

Henry Kyllo is a Runner, a member of a secret society called the Inferne Cutis. Every day he is chased through the city by Hunters whose goal is to fill him with bullets. It is a secret war steeped in history, tradition, and mutual fear.


Rumours abound about what happens when a Runner achieves ascension, but it has supposedly never happened before, so no one knows for sure. Except that it has happened before. And it is happening again.


This time, to Henry Kyllo.

Advance Praise

A Perfect Machine hits the ground running—literally—and never lets up, turbocharged by some wild recombinant DNA. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if H.R. Giger swallowed the soul of a gonzo crime writer and penned Fight Club after a week-long binge huffing gun oil and fumes from Tetsuo: The Iron Man, then you are so in luck.”
Brian Hodge, author of Picking the Bones and Whom the Gods Would Destroy

“With prose as sharp and hard as a Monday morning, Savory pulls you along, page by flippin’ page, into a world much stranger, much more exotic than it was a moment before. A cool practitioner of the rapid read and the bizarre speculation.”
Tony Burgess, author of Pontypool Changes Everything and People Live Still in Cashtown Corners

A Perfect Machine is like stepping out of a plane with a blindfold on and finding yourself in a bobsled tube that slithers and loops you down into a sensory deprivation tank where you didn’t think to take one last breath first, but it’s pretty down here, isn’t it? Either that or all the blood vessels in your eyes just burst.”
Stephen Graham Jones, author of Mongrels

“A wild and exuberant concoction of horror, science-fiction and crime thriller, Brett Savory’s A Perfect Machine hurtles along like a runaway train, picking up speed, belching smoke and shooting out sparks before erupting into an explosive, mind-shattering finale. Terrific stuff!”
Mark Morris, author of the Obsidian Heart series and Wrapped in Skin

“A wildly inventive, swiftly paced, brutally fun mind-bender of a novel. A Perfect Machineenvisions a future gone crazy with unsettling parallels to our own world.”
Benjamin Percy, author of The Dead Lands, Red Moon, The Wilding, and Refresh, Refresh

“Savory deserves to make a great impression on both our highly mutable genre and the reading public.”
Peter Straub, multi award-winning author of Ghost Story and The Talisman
