Occultober Day 7 Hunting Among Us by Gilbert M. Stack
Occultober Day 7 Hunting Among Us by Gilbert M. Stack
For the seventh day of Occultober I’d like to spotlight the latest book in one of my own series, Hunting Among Us.
Urban fantasy is filled with vampires and werewolves and other creatures out of legend. For Among Us, I and my co-author for the first two books, Marc Hawkins, wanted to create something unique that the reader could see inspired the stories of other supernatural creatures. So we created the dynum and the aegrum, both former humans who were transformed due to their exposure to a mysterious substance called the dark waters. Both groups are long-lived, with the dynum effectively immortal if they avoid violence. The aegrum, for their part, mutate as a result of their exposure to the dark waters and suffering creeping madness.
The story focuses on a young woman, Mina Raintree, who accidentally comes to the attention of this shadowy community and the two rogue dynum who are trying to help her survive her discovery. In this third book in the series, the conflict explodes again as truly ancient dynum become directly involved in the conflict. Here’s the back-of-the-book blurb:
War is coming to Philadelphia as the unaging converge upon the city, threatening to take their battles out of the shadows and into the glaring light of the modern day. These horrors out of legend represent different houses and hold different agenda, but all agree that it is time for the rogue dynum, Trevalian de Treville and Mutswana the Hunter, to pay for the crime of refusing to bow to the great powers that rule this shadow society. And the blood brothers have never been more vulnerable. Trev has given his heart and his protection to a young mortal woman who refuses to understand the very real danger confronting them. Her insistence on publicly staying in Philadelphia has told the unaging world where they can find the hated duo. Can even the Iron Count and the Hunter survive when their enemies are Hunting Among Us?
Hunting Among Us (and the whole series) is available on Amazon both for purchase and as part of the Kindle Unlimited program where it can be read for FREE.
