Crowd Demon

Close Encounters of the Cryptid Kind #1

by Deborah Cannon

Drey McFee has never resolved her feelings of losing her mother who taught her to love the ballet. After an old friend (the ghost of an Interpol agent) materializes at a performance of Swan Lake and a Crowd Demon is spotted in the audience, all hell breaks loose. In this debut novelette, the perky cryptozoologist pits her wits against the Vancouver Fire Department and the local police when a fairytale and a powerful shape-shifting copper mask lead her to a rare and elusive cryptid.

Deborah Cannon is the winner of an Honourable Mention for her short story TWILIGHT GLYPH to be published in The Canadian Tales of the Fantastic anthology, September 2014 (Red Tuque Books)

44 pages, Kindle Edition
