Hell's Brood - Eve of Light

In the Eve of Light universe, no one is safe from what hides beneath the gossamer of superficial reality. A struggling singer who travels to the middle of nowhere to perform a gig finds herself exposed to a sinister creature with a hunger for something only she can provide. A small-time criminal who finds a gun that seems to be of supernatural origin begins to dream of the big time, until he realizes someone wants their toy back.
A lonely middle manager who set up a profile on an adult hook-up site is soon in danger of losing more than his money or identity. An American Heartland Security agent unwittingly becomes involved in a supernatural battle. A fugitive from the Sprytes, one of the most dangerous supernatural cults on Earth, finds herself entangled in a conspiracy too dark to escape. Containing The Lark, Heaven's Gun, FoolKillers, Knotty & Ice, and Rogue Beauty, five tales of dark metaphysical fantasy, Hell's Brood is the perfect collection for readers new to the Eve of Light series.
With stories set in a world where humankind's twisted fantasies and most disturbing nightmares have manifested as pulsing, hard-edged realities, Eve of Light is a dark fantasy horror series unlike any other. Mind-bending and provocative. Dark fiction at its weirdest.
