FURR: A Modern Gothic Fairytale by Axel Howerton
An exciting new kind of Urban Fantasy/Modern Gothic novel with heart and teeth. Launches October 25. Available now on Kindle!
From the South three sisters fair ran athwart the gloom.
Dressed of fur and fierce of tooth... the maidens of the moon.
Jimmy Finn is having a real bad day. He woke up drunk and on the wrong end of a nightstick. He lost his job, had to see his shrink, and he's fallen way off the wagon. Now the cops are after him, he's falling apart, and his only friend is a volatile drug lord. How could it get any worse?
As smoke envelopes the city, he finds himself on the run, and out of time. He's either losing his mind, or becoming a monster. Or maybe it's both. Jimmy Finn has one last hope. A long-buried family secret, lost somewhere in a mysterious town in the Rocky Mountains, a town full of bizarre shadows and a strange girl that haunts his memories.
