The Sacrifice

by C. C. Blake

Overview

A missing girl. A message branded into a tree. A mystery that cannot be ignored.

When ace reporter Chet Powder crawled out of the bottle long enough to nab a job in his hometown of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, he never expected to stumble on a world class scoop in his own backyard. When his childhood sweetheart goes missing and the bumbling authorities are unable to help her, Chet will be drawn into a strange world of magic and the macabre.

In "The Sacrifice," C. C. Blake spins a chilling tale of dark fantasy set in the modern world, where rites of blood can deliver devilish desires.

About the Author

C.C. Blake has lived across the United States, starting in the suburbs of Detroit, to Massachusetts’ second largest city (Worcester) to the country’s seventh largest city (San Antonio, Texas, that is). He’s has a variety of jobs, working as a substitute teacher, the graveyard shift dishwasher at a haunted Denny’s, lab research monkey and teaching assistant at a second tier college. Currently, he works as an automation consultant for a chemical company on the Northeast side of SAtown (which isn’t as Hellish as it sounds). Blake’s most popular character, irrepressible adventurer Chuck Cave, has appeared in over two dozen stories, including the 2005 Man’s Story 2 Story of the Year Award winner “Chuck Cave and the Vanishing Vixen.” The character’s supernatural thriller stories (which began with the seminal “Cave and the Vamp”) are all being released as a part of Vampires2.com’s initial foray into e-books. These new versions are presented in expanded and revised versions, all are the author’s preferred texts. Be sure to collect them all! In addition to his pulp stories for the 2-Empire (Man’s Story 2, Vampires 2, Androids 2 and Paranormal Romance 2), Blake’s fiction has appeared in several anthologies, including Unparalleled Journeys II (from Journey Books Publishing) and Fearology: Terrifying Tales of Phobias (from Library of Horror Press).
