    C. C. Blake

    C.C. Blake has lived across the United States, starting in the suburbs of Detroit, to Massachusetts’ second largest city (Worcester) to the country’s seventh largest city (San Antonio, Texas, that is). He’s has a variety of jobs, working as a substitute teacher, the graveyard shift dishwasher at a haunted Denny’s, lab research monkey and teaching assistant at a second tier college. Currently, he works as an automation consultant for a chemical company on the Northeast side of SAtown (which isn’t as Hellish as it sounds). Blake’s most popular character, irrepressible adventurer Chuck Cave, has appeared in over two dozen stories, including the 2005 Man’s Story 2 Story of the Year Award winner “Chuck Cave and the Vanishing Vixen.” The character’s supernatural thriller stories (which began with the seminal “Cave and the Vamp”) are all being released as a part of Vampires2.com’s initial foray into e-books. These new versions are presented in expanded and revised versions, all are the author’s preferred texts. Be sure to collect them all! In addition to his pulp stories for the 2-Empire (Man’s Story 2, Vampires 2, Androids 2 and Paranormal Romance 2), Blake’s fiction has appeared in several anthologies, including Unparalleled Journeys II (from Journey Books Publishing) and Fearology: Terrifying Tales of Phobias (from Library of Horror Press).

      About the Author

      Kill Die Coup

      Sure, we have knives, but we personalize and carry the most stylish makes available, so the doorman gives us the once over and steps aside, bowing his head when he venerates my name, Howdy, Cloud. The meaty mitts he uses to spelunk nose goblins go nowhere near our sheaths, and his sausage lips say nothing about us going home. His ear has been sewn back on, looks almost healed, and I figure he won't mistake his place twice.

      The grinding of the wheels on the polished floor sounds like a den of riled honey badgers. Charotte scopes the snack stand, and her mouth is watering for the cotton candy. It's kind of sad to see, this slip of a girl with a soured, longing expression. Unfortunately, now that she's a full on tongueless member of the Cutting Time that particular tasty treat has lost all its magic. We remember, though, the things we once loved.

      The little kiddies are having a blast rolling around the floor, and our powerhouse Damion scowls when a little girl trips and her pallies laugh and leave her in their dust. I give him a chuck on the shoulder, and Damion cannot meet my eyes. He knows, though:
