Ash Addict — Al K. Line

All I wanted was to raise something demonic from the Nolands to test my wizardly mettle, but I got a lot more than I bargained for. Not from the beastie, that was kind of a dud, but from my unwanted guest.Vamps from the east are in town, and they have strange peccadilloes. They aren't here to sample the local delicacies though, they have an altogether more sinister purpose.Before my visitor had chance to get nasty, we were kidnapped, and torture of the very painful kind was on the menu. Served him right, me not so much.But us magical misfits stick together, and soon there's a war raging that will tear our world apart. Vampires are pitted against vampires, wizards and witches unite against a common enemy-mainly because there are goodies in it for them-and I try to stop getting all my important bits chopped off in nasty ways.Just another day in the life of a poor wizard.Hi, I'm Arthur The Hat Salzman. Gangster. Wizard. A bit hurty.
