AUTHOR'S NOTE

SB Rogue cannot stress enough how difficult this book may be for some to read. 

I am the product of serious childhood trauma. I’ve spent my life in therapy working on it. 

While this book is a work of fiction, it is born out of that trauma.

If you’ve had your own childhood trauma, or if you’re a parent who loves your child, or if the physical abuse of a child is triggering for you, this book will be extremely hard to get through. 

There’s a solid psychological thriller within the pages, but it’s not an easy ride. 

Anyone interested in reading is advised to check the trigger warnings before diving in. 

There is no HEA in The Bleeding Hour, nor anything remotely close to it.

TRIGGER/CONTENT WARNING

The Bleeding Hour is an absolutely fucked psychological thriller with elements of erotic horror, paranormal horror, and romantic tragedy. It is not for the squeamish, faint of heart or easily offended.

SB Rogue makes no promises that you won’t want to cry, actually cry, want to punch a wall, actually punch a wall, or worse. And I certainly can’t promise it won’t ruin your sleep.

The things that happen to one or more of the characters as children are horrific. There is on-page physical child abuse and adult on minor violence. These characters have a ton of horrid trauma they recall from their childhoods. 

There is NOT any child molestation, child rape or child sexual assault on page. However, there are clear references to it having happened.

This book is violent. It is graphic. It is bloody. It is disgusting.

This book may contain aspects of some or all of the following:

Alcoholism ✘ Anal Play ✘ Assault ✘ Breath Play ✘ Chemical Weapon Use ✘ Child Abuse (depicted, non-sexual) ✘ Child Abuse/Sexual Assault Of A Minor (implied/referenced, not on page) ✘ Deadly Weapons (including their use) ✘ Domestic Violence/Spousal Abuse ✘ Fire ✘ Forced Cannibalism ✘ Forced Submission (referenced) ✘ Impact Play ✘ Mental Illness (portrayal, exaggeration, detailed experiences) ✘ Murder (brutal, graphic, prevalent) ✘ Paranormal Entity (there’s a demon present in many chapters) ✘ Profanity ✘ Sexual Assault Of An Adult (referenced as a memory) ✘ Testicular Rupture ✘ Threesome ✘ Torture (physical) ✘Transphobia (retelling of a past traumatic experience) ✘ Vaginal Suffocation ✘ Violence (like a fuckton of violence)

There are also several chapters involving consenting adults having sex, but I feel like if you’re okay with everything before here, this is an irrelevant note.

BLURB

As he lies bleeding in the street, a contract killer haunted by something sinister recounts his traumatic past before taking his final breath. From childhood abuse at the hands of an alcoholic father to his first violent encounter with a bully, his existence spirals into a vortex of murder, obsession, and delusion.

Gabriel’s bond with Howard, a hulking figure who orchestrates increasingly brutal jobs, and his passionate yet volatile marriage to the fiery Malysh, blurs the lines between reality and hallucination.

A demon lurks, stalking Gabriel relentlessly, forcing him to confront buried horrors. Parental killings. Institutional Assaults. A string of grisly assassinations.

Therapy unearths dissociative layers, revealing Gabriel's fragmented psyche, shaped by years of torment, as the true monster.

This psychological thriller is a visceral tale of trauma's lingering scars, laced with erotic horror and romantic tragedy, where consent and carnage intertwine, and love devolves into lethal codependency.

Not for the faint-hearted, this descent into madness will haunt you long after the bleeding stops.
