      C. C. Blake is no stranger to thrill seekers. His award winning story "Chuck Cave and the Vanishing Vixen" ignited the pages of Man's Story 2 magazine in 2005, and spawned a series of tough, no holds barred adventure stories starring the indefatigable Chuck Cave. This collection contains another four stories in the pulp tradition. Tough guys and dangerous dames in wild settings face off against sadistic madmen and human evil. Chuck Cave stars in "In the Clutches of El Diablo," a story set shortly after his return from the Korean War. The east Texas rose fields are a nightmare of heat and hardship. However, when a plane drops into the one Chuck Cave is working, it ignites more than a wildfire. War erupts in the east Texas fields, catching Chuck Cave in the crossfire. Behind the scenes waits a mysterious villain, called El Diablo, who owns the law and fears no man. Of course, he has never met anyone like Chuck Cave. The provocative "Pain Slaves of the Lust Pimps" reveals a sickness in a small town in Michigan. Men nab a girl off the streets, ready to subject her to the torments of the damned. She is not their first victim, but if her father and Chuck Cave have anything to say about it, she will be their last! "Follow That Redhead!" starts with a bang, when Chuck Cave encounters a terrified woman being pursued by goons in Worcester, Massachusetts. Who is she and what does she know that a local anthropologist is willing to murder for? This story is an unforgettable exercise in thrills! "Murdock Cave and the Captive Cutie" turns the clock back to World War II, and follows Chuck Cave's father, as he leads a rag tag group of soldiers to the gates of Der Schloss, an infamous Nazi prison, where an invaluable asset is being held and tormented. Will Murdock Cave get her out of the Third Reich's clutches before she is forced to talk? C. C. Blake's brand of action-packed storytelling is on full display in these stories. Exclusive to this eBook is a special introduction, which pulls back the curtain on the storytelling magic. Here, Blake discusses the development of the Cave stories into a full blown family epic and reveals what relationship the supernatural thrillers have to the character's less outré adventures.

    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).
