In present-day America, most people don’t worry too much about monster attacks. Vampires were driven from North America more than a hundred years ago and electric werewolf fences and instant DNA tests at border crossings keep the population secure.
Nick Slipwick is a private detective and self-acknowledged ‘monster enthusiast/monster’s rights activist.’ Lieutenant Amato was a once-rising star of the Chicago Police Department. Now, he’s been put out to pasture as the head of the Inhuman Crimes Unit, the joke of the Chicago PD.
In the first Nick and Amato adventure, the two join forces to investigate the reanimation of pairs of ‘Steins around the city. Their investigation leads them to a young research scientist conducting an experiment to figure out why guys never call her for a second date, a charismatic pastor who runs a mega-church/casino, the Motown chapter of the Society of Creatures that Eat People, and a monster who is entirely unlike the regular werewolves and vampires that everyone learns about in school. ‘The Bone Eaters’ is a fast-moving combination of mystery, horror and humor which weaves together an array of unexpected characters into a fun and satisfying ride.
