    About this ebook

    There is no greater high than the bite of a vampire. And no greater addiction.

    Jaded paramedic Zeus Contreras fights to save those who would throw away their lives for a cheap thrill and a shot at immortality.

    A private detective with supernatural instincts and a nose for trouble skirts the line between a sexy client and the next full moon.

    The Gambler has a cosmic cheat, a piece of science fiction that twists all probability in his favor. But hitman Snake Eyes doesn't believe in luck. His dice are loaded. So is his gun.

    Five tales of terror, lust, greed, and revenge to further darken your heart. Come be bitten by this second volume of Grit and Shadows.

     

    The Grit & Shadows Collection can be read in series or with each volume standing on its own dark merits. A fiendish witches' brew of gritty crime, urban fantasy, vampire horror, and sci-fi noir.

    J. D. Brink

    If taking a college fencing class, eating from the trash can, and smelling like an animal were qualifications for becoming a sword-swinging barbarian, J. D. Brink might be Conan’s protégé. But since that career path seemed less than promising, he has instead been a sailor, spy, nurse, and officer in the U.S. Navy, as well as a gravedigger, insurance adjuster, and school teacher in civilian life. Today (fall, 2014) he and his family live in Japan, where he's providing a bad example for all Americans. In his writing, as in life, Mr. Brink enjoys dabbling in multiple genres.
