They thought the demon was the problem—until the client turned out to be worse.

After the Global Apocalypse Event tore holes in the sky and dumped demons into rural America, some teenagers were left with something worse than trauma: powers.

Max Buckholtz turned hers into a business.

Running Max Demons Slayed, LLC, Max exterminates supernatural infestations with military efficiency, psychic precision, and a worrying amount of explosives. Her reluctant assistant is her younger brother Eldon—still in high school, still figuring out his underwhelming gift, and still wondering how his summer job became "possible dismemberment".

Their latest contract seems simple: an elderly widow claims she's trapped a demon inside her cattle barn. Easy money. In and out. No surprises.

Instead, Max and Eldon find a dead cow, a parasitic creature looking for a new host, and a client whose grief has curdled into something far more dangerous. As the barn fills with slime, gunfire, and very bad decisions, the siblings are forced to confront not just demonic threats—but the human kind lurking beneath them.

Bloody, fast-paced, and darkly funny, Max Demons Slayed, LLC blends monster-of-the-week action with sibling banter, rural horror, and the realisation that sometimes the scariest thing on the job isn't the demon at all.
