PROLOGUE It was a little after ten, which meant there was a lot of night left, and that was good because Lysette needed to find somewhere to sleep before dawn. She wasn’t even sure how it happened, it all felt so fast. All she knew right now was that vampires did not have it any […]

RELAPSE I tell myself that this is the last one. It… she. Her name was- well, for the life of me I can’t remember. Perhaps I didn’t even get it. Not before I killed her. Thinking back on last night now, I can’t kid myself anymore. It wasn’t for survival. It was for pleasure. And […]

The bar looked tempting, especially when Tom remembered that he hadn’t had a drink in over a year. A year and two months, actually, but who was counting? Instead, […]

CURSED OBJECTS It should go without saying that nobody believed the curse. Even in 2014, the discovery a new Egyptian mummy came with a degree of excitement. And a slight mysticism, Joe had to admit.
