Goatbusters — Robert W. Walker

An Imajin Qwickies® Horror Novella

An infamous freak show exhibit closed down with the Riverview Amusement Park years ago. But a ravenous creature escaped into the Chicago River, and it's very hungry…

When a river monster begins to attack dirt bikers and kayakers, the Old Fart Squad of retirees is called back into service, led by the classy Detective Aubrey Hamilton. At first, Aubrey and her team suspect a hoax or fraternity joke -- until bodies turn up along the old Riverview Park stretch of the meandering Chicago River.

While the elderly sleuths first treat the case as a multiple-homicide investigation, the brutal nature of the attacks suggests they've stumbled upon something out of the Twilight Zone. Something supernatural has been living in the river, feeding on small game, dogs, cats, and the occasional drunk. Now the squad must double as GOATBUSTERS to capture a creature that must be baited first. If only they can find the right bait…
