    About this ebook

    In Excelsior City trouble finds everybody. Lang Lofton's busy managing his media empire from atop the Kryse Building , weighing a mayoral run, and, oh yeah, roaming the night as a masked vigilante. He's got an new problem too: no villains left to defeat. Until his mortal enemy Archetype gets released from Belfry Hospital for the Criminally Insane. And just as Venus Diamond is set to display at the city’s Supernatural Wonders Museum. Besides, there’s a new player in town. Coincidence? Never.

    A rollicking superhero adventure novelette, with humor and a little bit of heart.

    Michael Canfield writes about monsters, superheroes, couples, bank robbers, babies, astronauts, paranoids, background artists, hobbyists, and other people. He has published mystery, suspense, fantasy, science fiction, horror and just-plain-odd stories in StrangeHorizons.com, futurismic.com, EscapePod.com, M-Brane SF, in dead-tree magazines including Black Gate, Talebones, Realms of Fantasy, Flytrap, and other places. His story "Super-Villains" was reprinted in the prestigious Fantasy: The Year's Best series, edited by Rich Horton. Several other stories received honorable mention in Ellen Datlow's The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror series. Born in Las Vegas, he now lives, works, plays, writes, and watches television in Seattle.
