Sidearm & Sorcery Volume One by Bryce Beattie & Jay Barnson &  digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In the modern world, paranormal dangers lurk all around. When there is no chosen one to be found, no altruistic half-vampire around, and no superheros flying overhead, it's up to average people to do the business of defeating evil. They have no powers, no prophecies, and all the odds are stacked against them. 

 

In this short story collection, regular folk find themselves up against nightmare creatures, conniving warlocks, and all manner of supernatural dangers. All set in contemporary environments. Read these nine new tales of magic and adventure today. 

 

This anthology contains the following stories:

 

Flight Response by Jay Barnson

 

An army helicopter pilot has a harrowing experience with a mind-controlling sorcerer in Vietnam. Several years later, the sorcerer has resurfaced, but will this wild chance at revenge end in tragedy?

 

Small Town Sorcery by Bryce Beattie

 

Supernatural terrors plague a child at night, and her father doesn't seem to be concerned. What nightmare is he trying to hide?

 

In The Forests Of The Night by Misha Burnett

 

Politics. Power always brought out the politicians, looking for an angle to drive in a wedge and gain some leverage. Magic was power, money was power, and this case was dripping with both.

 

From the case files of Erik Rugar comes another tale of magic, mystery, and a detective who is always over his head.

 

La Bruja by Carlos Carrasco

 

A New Orleans Police Detective and an Exorcist join forces to rescue a young girl from the clutches of a demonic cult. The trail leads them into the bullet-riddled inner-city streets of the Big Easy where lives and souls are held cheap and rival gang-bangers wage a bloody race war.

 

Living Land by JD Cowan

 

After the show, a rockabilly drummer follows a girl who looks like she might be in trouble. The two are swept away into an unexplainable land, where existence turns in on itself.

 

Under a Mango Sun by Michael DeCarolis

 

An agent of Thailand's supernatural crime division must infiltrate Bangkok's seedy underbelly to get to the bottom of an enchanted animal smuggling ring, where she finds herself in over her head.

 

The Undying Past by Dale W. Glaser

 

A private investigator is coerced into tracking down the cause of a curse on an ancient manor. Will he find the answer before the curse claims his life?

 

Green Shadow by Jason J. McCuiston

 

Some New Age cults are fads. Some are nefarious. A rare few actually worship dark gods. When an Afghanistan vet is hired to bring back a runaway girl, he comes face-to-face with the latter.

 

Prey of the Hamadame by Mark J. Schultis

 

A mysterious beast is preying on factory workers. A pregnant woman's husband has disappeared. Can an outcast detective find him before it is too late?
