Someone is murdering the good people of Greenfield, and there's talk of a serial killer on the loose. Finding him should be an easy job for a guy with super-powers; too bad he keeps falling out of the sky. If Marshall Conrad has any hope of ending the killing spree, he'll need a little help from a morbidly obese shop keeper (who just happens to be a witch) and a hard-drinking senior citizen with a penchant for lifting heavy objects... like auto- mobiles. Corrupt cops, ogres, thirty-six-year-old Siamese cats, and of course, the netherworld. All in a day's work when you're trying to save your city from a simmering evil that's about to be unleashed.

What if I told you that monsters and aliens not only exist, but walk among us, hiding in plain sight? What if I told you that their hidden communities are monitored and policed by a secret society of human 'Watchers', that protect you from them and them from you? What would you say if I told you that sometimes those monsters or aliens go 'rogue' and the Watchers cannot always stop them from committing crimes against humanity? Who do you think they call when that happens? I'll tell you who. They call the Hunters for Hire! Stedphast Baddax, a battle-hardened dwarf with a mechanical hand, and his apprentice, a young but powerful witch named Drusilla Cabbott, are two such Hunters. This is the chronicle of their adventures. Join them as they clash with ghouls, hunt down werewolves, traffic with fae, partner with vampires, battle a horde of darkling creatures and discover new friends and old enemies around every shadowy corner of their secret world...the World of the Hidden Races.

Selected for Editor's Choice! Some secrets refuse to remain silent. Deep in Switzerland, the Intyamon valley was once home to many humans and strange beings. Years ago, in a wooden chalet rooted on the side of the valley, there lived a young girl who was desperately lonely. In the middle of Lessoc, a small village, there was a fountain. Humans had a charming legend they told about it, but fairy creatures whispered of dark deeds and bloodshed. On a farm nearby, there was a boy growing callous and cold from the harsh life he was given. A path in the valley forest led to a hill covering a vast hall under its rocky layers. A fairy king held his court in that hall and the great fairies danced and feasted throughout the nights. There was a horse with a battle-scarred coat and soul, who longed for redemption. And there was one last creature whose heart has withered away long ago. Lessoc Fountain would call them them together.
