In a dark future stalked by the undead, James Grim, vampire hunter - and vampire himself - is sent to the beautiful seaside city of Marseilles, France to take care of a little problem. A coven of female vampires has moved into a nearby castle, and they aren't friendly - especially to men.

The hardest part is getting in, but when the leader of the vampires hands James a pretty human girl in skirts to play with, it turns out that "she" isn't all she seems. And "she" is willing to do what it takes to be rescued, even if it means getting bitten.

Grim Hunter is a series of gay erotic short stories set in a post-apocalyptic future, featuring James Grim, a vampire, and his shape-shifting lover, Sebastian.

A Grim Disguise

Marseilles was a beautiful city, though like many European cities, it subscribed to the 'densely packed' school of architecture. The stone buildings practically climbed on top of each other as they marched up the sides of the hill that the city was built into, and the roads were so narrow and parking at such a premium, that most people drove their little cars up onto the sidewalks to park.

Those few who had cars in working condition, that was. Petrol was hard to find these days - as James well knew - and working car parts even more so. There were many vehicles that looked to have been abandoned in place for years, if not centuries. Rusting hulks barely recognizable anymore as vehicles hunched in place on the sidewalks, slowly flaking apart.

At this time of night, the roads were virtually empty, but the cobblestones and cracks in the road made it impossible for him to open up his motorcycle and go quickly. As a result, James was forced to take in a lot of the sights, whether he wanted to or not.

Closer to the water, things widened out a bit and he was able to speed up, the purr of the engine practically swallowed by the susurration of the sea. The famous Old Port was a wide harbour filled with little boats and bordered with a quaint boulevard. Presiding over the mouth of the port, on a spit of land that extended out into the Mediterranean Sea, was a smallish castle-like building, though James happened to know it was actually a fort.

Someone had taken up residence there. As James passed by the area on his way to the local police headquarters where his contact was supposed to be, he saw that several of the windows were lit with what looked like the warm glow of lamplight.

Perhaps that was the reason why there were hardly any people on the streets. Those who were out now, after sunset, moved with a rapid pace and furtive, frightened expressions. But James Grim scarcely noticed the oppressive weight of fear that had settled on the ancient city - he was too used to it.

No one ever invited a vampire hunter to a town that didn't have a vampire, after all.
