As such, Junior regularly begins ordering and sacrificing animals, his work becoming more and more successful with each sacrifice. Alex also tells him that if he wants his dream novel to succeed, he needs to escalate the sacrifices. Written and directed by John Harrison, based on a story by Ron Goulart.
