Bottle Demon

Stephen Blackmoore's dark urban fantasy series continues as hard-edged, hard-hitting necromancer Eric Carter finds himself surrounded by enemies who want him to suffer a fate worse than death… by bringing him back to life. When Carter comes to, he feels like Hell. Worse than hell. Every part of his body is on fire, his stomach is boiling acid, and he's coughing up some horrific black substance from his lungs. He's not feeling—or looking—like himself. All in all, not a jolly start to the day. Unfortunately, that's about as good as its going to get. Because, as he soon learns, he's been dead for years—until someone with some serious magical muscle decided to bring him back. But who could Carter have ticked off so badly they would expend such power just to return him to the mortal realm? Oh, that's right: raging gods, sadistic demons, a very patient and vengeful djinn… pretty much every nightmare in the monster's menagerie. And if Carter doesn't figure out why someone—or some thing—is pulling the strings, his new life may have an even more gruesome end than his old one. Praise for the Eric Carter series: "Blackmoore employs Chandleresque prose to smoothly incorporate a hard-boiled sense of urban despair into a paranormal plot, with occasional leavening provided by smart-aleck humor." — Publishers Weekly on Dead Things "In a world where Aztec Mythology, dark magic and grim reality blend together, nothing is what it appears to be... Best of all, Blackmoore's chillingly good storytelling skills ensures that fans will enjoy every step of this adrenaline fueled journey." — RT Book Reviews (Top Pick) on Broken Souls "This series is so fucking good. Blackmoore can't write these books fast enough to suit me. BROKEN SOULS is hyper-caffeinated, turbo-bloody face-stomping fun. This is the L.A-noir urban fantasy you've been looking for." — Kevin Hearne, Author of The Iron Druid Chronicles "Carter's wry voice is amusing as ever, but the grief he carries is palpable, adding depth and a sense of desperation to this action-packed adventure. Readers will be eager for more after this thrilling, emotionally fraught installment." — Publishers Weekly on Ghost Money, Starred Review Series Order: 1. Dead Things 2. Broken Souls 3. Hungry Ghosts 4. Fire Season 5. Ghost Money 6. Bottle Demon 7. Suicide Kings 8. Hate Machine 9. Cult Classic
