Chuck Cave and the Vanishing Vixen

By C. C. Blake

When he was starting out as a writer, C. C. Blake asked himself: "What would I do, if I were writing for the pulps?" As soon as he asked himself this question, a title came to him. From that title came a story. This story.

"Chuck Cave and the Vanishing Vixen" is a thrilling tale set during in 1970s San Francisco. It stars Korean War veteran Chuck Cave in an action packed story about merciless counter culture revolutionaries gone awry.

When it first appeared in Man's Story 2 in 2005, it took the magazine's readership by storm. The story won that magazine's Story of the Year Award, and Cave developed into a series character.

Fans of Brian Garfield, Joe R. Lansdale and Norman Partridge will find much to savor here.

This eBook edition includes another Chuck Cave adventure: "In the Clutches of El Diablo" appears as a bonus story!

C. C. Blake

C.C. Blake has lived across the United States, starting in the suburbs of Detroit, to Massachusetts’ second largest city (Worcester) to the country’s seventh largest city (San Antonio, Texas, that is). He’s has a variety of jobs, working as a substitute teacher, the graveyard shift dishwasher at a haunted Denny’s, lab research monkey and teaching assistant at a second tier college. Currently, he works as an automation consultant for a chemical company on the Northeast side of SAtown (which isn’t as Hellish as it sounds). Blake’s most popular character, irrepressible adventurer Chuck Cave, has appeared in over two dozen stories, including the 2005 Man’s Story 2 Story of the Year Award winner “Chuck Cave and the Vanishing Vixen.” The character’s supernatural thriller stories (which began with the seminal “Cave and the Vamp”) are all being released as a part of Vampires2.com’s initial foray into e-books. These new versions are presented in expanded and revised versions, all are the author’s preferred texts. Be sure to collect them all! In addition to his pulp stories for the 2-Empire (Man’s Story 2, Vampires 2, Androids 2 and Paranormal Romance 2), Blake’s fiction has appeared in several anthologies, including Unparalleled Journeys II (from Journey Books Publishing) and Fearology: Terrifying Tales of Phobias (from Library of Horror Press).
