The woman is a seductive enigma. One that Karver intends to solve.

About the author

Indy McDaniel does the weird stuff. From the Globally Acknowledged squishy horror of Black Melt to the bone-crunchingly fierce action of the Nadya’s Nights series, there’s no shortage of bizarre nonsense he won’t do. He’s got body horror, he’s got werewolves with tentacles, he’s got killer space fungus, and he’s got some books about those things, too. Commonly described as ‘that weird guy over there’, he’s all too eager to share his assortment of dark silliness with whoever’s interested.

[Nefarious · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing storytelling. Beautifully created characters, everything in this short story makes me need to know more about everything. The lore of the world, what was done to get all of the characters to where they are now, and what happens to them after the fact. Hopefully there will be more stories to elaborate on what happens in this particular plot.
