The Revenant Road (28 page)

You may hear a howl at
midnight
, and realize that the
Wolf
really
is
waiting at your door. 
    

You may even be lucky enough to meet a man or woman who offers you immortality: an eternity of sunless days and endless nights in exchange for a single kiss. If you do, don’t worry.

We’ll be right behind you.

Between book signings, public appearances and my monthly support group meetings, I still find time for my
real
job. My partner and I are available most nights and some weekends. I’m the arrogant prick with abandonment issues and he’s a toothless old coot who glows in the dark, but we’re passionate about our work. Hell, I come from a long line of men and women dedicated to saving your ass. My name? That’s easy.    

It’s Grudge.

I kill monsters.
