Meet the SCU team! Wendela is the team's 'special equipment consultant' and while she may seem like she's just drinking herbal tea and chatting with her pet rat, she has far more experience in the magical world than you'd think. One thing is for certain: Wendela is much more than she appears.

Father Carl Franklin may not be a priest anymore, but the weight of his past still weighs on his shoulders. Once serving with the Irish Defence Forces, Father Carl has seen combat that most priests couldn’t imagine, fighting man and monster alike.

Meet the Supernatural Crimes Unit Team! Abd Al Rashid is the team archivist, and when it comes to grimoires, cursed tomes, books bound in human skin, and the kind of artifacts that whisper to you when the lights go out, there are few people in the world who know more than he does.
Coming 9/16! 💙📚 🩸📚

Meet the Supernatural Crimes Unit - Detective Thomas Shippe has spent over a decade staring into the abyss—and making sure it doesn’t stare back at the rest of us. He’s hunted ghouls through sewer tunnels, burned out nests of horrors, and crossed paths with powers that could unravel the world. 💙📚 🩸📚

This was an interesting one. It’s a story done for ‘Femme Fatale Flashes’ and I wanted to do something that met the classic Femme Fatale criteria but did something different as well. I created Rachel, a gorgeous paraplegic serial killer whose trophies are photographs of her murder locations. 🩸📚 💙📚
