Nine Parts Bluster

A monster stalks the ever-dark of Murkwater swamp. A creature of nightmare made flesh. Though no one has properly seen it, the rumors about it are as abundant as the slashed and torn corpses it leaves in its wake. It’s wonderful news, assuming, of course, that you’re Senesio Suleiman Zhao, famed monster hunter, Champion of the People, and murderous egotist. “Nine Parts Bluster” is a dark fantasy short story of fame, betrayal, and the monsters hiding in plain sight.
