Maniacal
A chilling dive into the mind of a killer—where scent triggers madness and the past never stays buried. Serial killers come in all forms. Sebastian Jones is no exception.

To him, the scent of perfume became a warning sign… and a trigger. Now an adult, Sebastian stalks the streets at night, targeting women who wear the same overpowering fragrances that remind him of his mother. With each victim, he believes he’s cleansing the world—and himself—of a lifelong torment. But as the city starts to notice, and the bodies begin to stack up, Sebastian’s grip on reality starts to unravel.
