    About this ebook

    A Short Story:

    Sometimes it’s hard to be a priest...when a slayer needs a holy man.
    Weldon thought it would be another day of deep spiritual contemplation, until the vampire hunter showed up. Now there are so many questions the scriptures can’t answer: Do the undead deserve last rites? Is it really necessary to wear robes to a bloody slaying? Are all vampires unable to pronounce the letter W?

    Thou shalt protect the flock from monsters.

    This is a paranormal comedic thriller.

    Length: Approximately 10 Pages or 2,500 Words

    Features bonus story:
    Neighborhood Watch - “Well, I suppose, it was last week I realized my neighbor was a serial killer.”

    Length: Approximately 10 Pages or 2,500 Words
