OctoBOO with Team Halloween – Vol. 1 of 3

Samhain is near!

Oct 30, 2024

The call for Halloween posts went out and was heeded. So many that I have split them into three volumes. Here’s the first volume. Enjoy! Volumes 2 and 3 to be posted tomorrow 31 October 2024.

Cobwebs and Candles

Unconventional Methods

Tonight’s prey was tricky. The vampire had managed to slip away from the pair of hunters several times already, evading both Lucy’s blades and Niall’s gunshots with irritating ease. When the monster turned into something like an inky panther and bounded off with a mocking laugh, all she could do was stare sullenly after it…
