Dark Horrors and Unspeakable Evils
My penultimate Mercer short story "Back for Blood" has been accepted to appear in the second volume of the Great Tomes series, a collection that involves "monsters, evil aliens, or otherworldly entities that serve as the antagonists for the story… The monster or entity must be a wholly original concept to the story and not based on an existing 'real world' legend."
In this Mercer tale, a ravenous monster is on the loose, terrorizing the city. A young nun seeks out Mercer's help to take down the horrible abomination; no one else can escort the creature back to hell. It may take a monster to get rid of a monster, but Mercer has never dealt with anything like this before. He may be in over his head.
This volume of Great Tomes will be out next month.
