What happens when an infamous necromancer gets a prank call?
Mikelis Priedis is an immortal necromancer. Most people react to Mikelis with extreme fear and keep a wide berth… unless they have a death wish.
So when Mikelis gets a random call from the James River Slayer, he thinks it’s a joke and hangs up. Mikelis soon realizes the call was no mistake—the notorious serial killer has taken his closest friend and turned the situation into a sick game.
Armed with his talking sacrificial knife, Mikelis has 24 hours to rescue his best friend and show a serial killer just how cold a necromancer can be.
Jen Kirchner wrote and illustrated her first story at the age of eight. Its heroine somehow manages to fall off of the Titanic three times. The story became an instant bestseller when her mom bought every copy.
Currently, Jen writes comic adventures about witches and wizards and talking sacrificial knives. She lives in Seattle with two cats, one husband, and a tiny shrimp.

I love the talking knives! Number One is hysterical.
Mikelis Priedis must rescue his best friend, Luucas Mikkelson, who has been abducted and has a finite amount of time before he expires. He receives a phone call from one of the abductors. Why said abductor just didn’t tell Mikelis where Luucas was being held as opposed to mysterious hints is beyond me. I suppose it adds to the story because Mikelis discovers other victims during his investigation.
Short stories are not my favorites but this is a nice addition to the Kari Hunter series.
