Minty Fresh: A Vampire Pulp Novella

GOTH BITES VAMPIRE, GETS BAD CASE OF THE VAMPS

Araminta Chase is a fuck-up. Falling out of a window to avoid someone? Life as usual. Landing on a vampire? That's a new one. And the vampire wants to know exactly why Minty was where she was, when she was. "I'm afraid of commitment" won't cut it.

When Minty's accused of murdering that same vampire, shit really hits the fan. She's nabbed by the very people she works for, an agency that acts as a go-between for monsters and the human world. Killing a vampire is a no-no for non-agents. Worse, Minty's body count is supposedly at two.

Minty didn't kill anyone, but she doesn't want to clear her name. What she wants is her kid brother, a thirteen-year-old werewolf named Sid. But a mysterious research institute called Better Choices, Better World has been looking for him for a long time, and Minty's "crime" was all they needed to sniff him out. They wanted him, now they've got him.

Well, Minty wants him back. And she's got new teeth.
