- Book 9 of 11: Eve of Light
America has learned to monetize every private hunger. On the fringe of the Eve of Light universe, something quieter has learned to collect — and it doesn't take cash.
In five stories, the cosmic spectacle recedes from view, leaving ordinary people caught beneath its machinery. A broke Houston singer accepts a well-paid gig off the beaten path and lands near midnight in a two-story airport gone strangely quiet, where the car-rental booth has closed early and the exits are thinning. In a nation that outlawed civilian guns, a double-shift worker gets a 3:30 a.m. knock from two cops — about cigarettes he doesn't smoke. A lonely man wearing a borrowed face waits for an online date and meets a woman whom sunlight seems to dress like royalty.
Elsewhere, a hopelessly inept federal Peacemaker gargles mouthwash beside his car, trying to rinse away an alias and last night's arrangement before reporting to the Agency. And an assassin of many faces begins her day with cosmetics packed in reinforced steel canisters, a prepared persona, and a credo delivered like a self-evident truth: it's easy to kill ugly things.
Each trap is calibrated to a modest human need: money, safety, touch, fatherhood, beauty. Each transaction offers tenderness before it presents the bill. Across rural lure-horror, institutional dread, seduction, grift-noir, and moral horror narrated by the knife, Hell's Brood reveals the Eve of Light universe from its ground floor — not through angels, saints, or divinities, but through the lives they use as fuel.
Collected here: "The Lark," "Heaven's Gun," "FoolKillers," "Knotty & Ice," and "Rogue Beauty" — five stories previously published on their own, five doors into the series' darkest rooms. No prior knowledge is required. Returning readers will recognize the intake valves behind the larger machinery.
For readers who want literary horror with bruised humanity, five hungry voices, and the slow chill of recognizing the bait as their own.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
