Summary
In its entirety, available to read here for the first time since its publication in 2019.
Clarissa Carmichael is a middle aged mom figuring out how to walk alone after a nasty divorce, and she’s good with a Tanto knife - which is convenient, because the library hosting her Suddenly Single Support Group meetings has inexplicably become a door that swings both ways. Creatures that have inspired horror legends for centuries are reappearing to restake their claim on the world of Mortals, and the Hunters and Slayers of this era have either retired or passed on. Except Clarissa and her ex-husband Kaine, who aren’t on speaking terms. And since Kaine is suffering from the demi-immortal version of PTSD, he’s not going to be much help. So one week after her forty-ninth birthday Clarissa finds herself on the hunt for a flexible babysitter and a really good cup of coffee, because it looks like it’s going to be up to her to ward off the coming Immortal Uprising with just the dubious help of a young stoner dad with unrealized supernatural potential who thinks his “alternative vision” is the result of smoking too much.
And it’s been far too long since our heroine got laid.
Damn apocalypse, always crimping a girl’s style.
