About this ebook
Multi-award winning author.
"Doug Smith is, quite simply, the finest short-story writer Canada has ever produced in the science fiction and fantasy genres, and he's also the most prolific. His stories are a treasure trove of riches that will touch your heart while making you think."
—Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Hominids and FlashForward
"A great storyteller with a gifted and individual voice."
—Charles de Lint
"One of Canada's most original writers of speculative fiction."
—Library Journal
DESCRIPTION:
Jan Mirocek was a hunter. A very special hunter. Once, he had hunted the things that haunt the forests of the night in every culture of the world. The kallikantzari of Greece. The loup-garou of France. The kitsune of Japan.
Were-beasts. Shape-shifters.
Until one night, he made a mistake, and the woman he loved died.
Now he shuns the dark and his own past, hiding in a big city. For the were-beasts never come here.
Or do they?
People are dying in Toronto, and all signs point to a shifter. But can Jan conquer his own fears to track down the killer? And what kind of shape shifter would be at home in a modern city?
REVIEWS:
"A creature-hunter tale that kept me guessing until the very last paragraphs. I was on edge throughout the whole story!"
—Global Pop Culture reviews
