Puncture Wounds — Cora Buhlert

Every morning, Brett finds blood on his sheets and mysterious puncture wounds on his body. But as he tries to trap the night pricker, as he calls his unseen assailant, he's in for a surprise… The house at Green Corner has been standing there for fifty years now, surrounded by a tall fence and even taller hedges. And at dawn, bats flutter around the overgrown garden. No one has ever seen the owner of the house, let alone spoken to them. But early one morning, paper girl Maddie decides to venture beyond the tall hedges on a dare and finds something very unexpected… Two modern vampire tales by Hugo finalist Cora Buhlert of 5000 words or approx. 18 print pages altogether.
