No Bullets for the Beast
It was supposed to be his last day on the job. Unluckily for Killjoy, this crazed, cannibalistic beast tried to make it his last day on Earth. Killjoy had taken this god-forsaken mission for a little bit extra money before he would quit. He was tired. The middle-aged bounty hunter had etched his name across American mythos after decades of killing, gunslinging, and doing dirty work for one too many fat, greedy pigs. It was easy work, but the man can't get any older after years of doing it. And with a wife at home who he visited only so many times he could them on his one hand, and a daughter whose face he can barely remember year to year, it was time to hang up the boots. But when he is told about one job that could potentially set not only himself and his family for life, but for generations to come, Killjoy decides to screw it and do one last mission. The money he made was good, but not enough to last them. The reward? The deed to a gold mine. And the job? To investigate some desolate woods for missing people. It was as easy as they came. What a load of crap. The second Killjoy stepped foot into those forests, he knew something was not right. Desecrated bodies, the eerily empty mines and woods devoid of any light or humans, and the gnawing hunger that grew in him no matter how much he ate through his rations. Something was not right. And when Killjoy laid his eyes on it, he knew it was either fight or die.Complete

Night Dancer
It's the 1900s in America. Creatures of the night are no myth nor legend, but reality. Humanfolk all over the world are unable to stay out under the moon without the fear of becoming a vampire or a werewolf's next meal. Witches are no irrational fear, meaning Witch Trials were still held even today. Zombies roam the graveyards and ghosts haunt the places of their deaths. The night is ruled by the supernatural. Monster hunter Dominic Rhinestone is tasked with eliminating a vampire by the Ravengrove Town's Church. However, this vampire is unlike most he has encountered: A vampire who feeds not on humans, but on the town's livestock. But Dominic doesn't care about whether or not the vampire feeds on humans. A vampire is a vampire, and vampires had to die. To the hunter's surprise, he and this vampire may have more in common than he thought, in more ways than one. And as Dominic delves deeper into the world of the creatures of the night, he realises that they are much more human than he believed.
