The Killer and The Dead

Published Copy

Blurb

Family secrets, sibling rivalry, undead at your door every night. Can't a killer get a break?

“My name is Stahl. I kill people. I’m not proud of it, but I’m not ashamed, either.”

Strapped in a chair, compelled to tell his tale to unknown tormentors, Stahl recounts his life in the Mire, a filth-choked slum shivering in the shadow of an ancient necropolis where the dead hunger for living flesh. He tells how secrets led to blackmail and death, how vengeance led to guilt and paranoia, and how an unholy bargain taught him that it is your enemies, not your friends, who define your life.

But in a slum where everyone lies, what kind of truth can be expected from a killer?

Author

My name is Roderick T. Macdonald. I am a writer of fantasy fiction. I was born Scottish, made American, and am proud of both identities. I grew up in Edinburgh, lived and worked in Glasgow, moved to Denver, and have stayed there ever since for the weather, and the stable tectonics.

I am very happy to meet you, as second hand as this is. I have lived a long time in worlds of my imagination, and eventually I worked out how share those worlds with others. I hope you enjoy the things I have made.
