Me, My Elf, and I — Andrew E. Moczulski

Eric Margrave, professional monster hunter, is having a bad time. Once again, a case has taken him out into the woods, and there's no pretty monsters this time... just cold, darkness, and what might be the most suspicious town that even HE has ever seen. But when a mysterious stranger drops by his campfire at night, well things will get a little...

... Well, still bad, actually. But more interesting, at least!
