Teaser Tuesday
I don't do Teaser Tuesdays nearly often enough. So, to celebrate the release day of the amazing anthology, SONGS OF LOVE AND DEATH, I present a teaser for Marjorie M. Liu's contribution, "After the Blood."
Excerpt:
I didn't have time to grab my coat. Only shoes and the shotgun. I had gone to sleep with the fanny pack belted to my waist, so the shells were on hand and jangled as I ran. I had forgotten they would make noise. Not that it mattered.
No moon. Slick gravel and cold rain on my face. Neighbor's dogs were barking and I wished they would shut up, but they didn't, and I kept expecting one of them to make that strangled yip sound like Pete-Pete had, out in the woods where I couldn't ever find his body. I missed him bad, nights like these. So did the cats.
