Drained

For my final story this glorious Halloween season, I've published Drained.

Like Stone Canyon and its prequel Lost and Found, Drained deals with a cryptid. This particular cryptid is known as the chupacabra ("goat sucker"), a lizard-like creature that primarily feeds on livestock. While it's been mainly sighted in South America, Central America, and the southwest portion of the United States, it's also been spotted as far north as Maine.

While I'm not quite as fascinated with the chupacabra as I am with Bigfoot, I thought its elusive and nocturnal nature would make for a fittingly tense and spooky story.

As always, my characters have problems beyond whatever evil forces they're fighting and poor, angry Jerry is no exception. Not everybody gets a happy ending in my stories but Jerry put himself on that path long before the events of Drained took place.

Enjoy the story and have a happy Halloween!
