Dane Larson, done by Audere Draws

Tyger Tyger, burning bright

Sometimes there aren’t any protagonists around. Sometimes, the big names are busy somewhere else. But the day still needs to be saved. Ariel’s a goddess who’s settling an old score. Li Fang Fen is a walking corpse trying to stay on her feet. And Dane Larson just wants things to be sane in her town again. All three were given a side character status in life, their moments of glory stolen from them, or never seized. They were the supporting cast in someone else’s story. Now, they can’t afford to stay in the background. New York City is being torn apart in a fit of serial killer violence. And it’s becoming clear that something’s wrong. Fifteen murders and nobody’s been caught, no justice has been meted out. The city is still recovering from the plague, and things are ready to take a serious downwards turn.

Poisoners, reapers, femme fatales, slashers, psychos, and worse are flooding the city. The only people standing between them and a killing field are a goddess with her hands tied, a crippled jiangshi, and a broken woman. When they’re deprived of the big guns, the people they can trust, the question is whether they can still stand up to the darkness, or whether they’ll be in over their heads. And dying in the line of duty is far from the worst fate waiting for them.

For those who enjoy: Horror, Serial Killers, Martial Arts Action, Dark Fucking Times, and Myth. This is probably going to get the darkest of any of the stories I’ve done so far. Some decent people are forced to suffer terribly, and some bad people get away with what they did. Enjoy.
