So many stories never see the light of day, often because they address topics that are taboo or risqué. The Athens Writers Association presents this captivating collection of stories and poetry that highlight those conversations we tend to shy away from in the daylight. This inaugural publication includes local writers exploring aspects of our world that haunt us all but feel more appropriate to discuss After Dark.

Writers After Dark

Andrew Grace

Chasing a deadly soul eater down dark alleys, our hero stops a moment to pet a stray cat... Over confident and under-equipped, Whit Clayborne feels more than ready to tackle his first major assignment as a demon hunter, but he isn't prepared for everything else that awaits him in Big City. A supernatural haven where creatures have taken refuge for centuries, Big City is hidden from public scrutiny and has never been under the watchful eyes of the demon hunter. With creatures of every kind operating under a delicate balance of council rules and turf law, the addition of an inept and inexperienced demon hunter threatens to throw everything out of whack. Big City is not looking for a hero, but Whit failed to read that email. When the egg supply of Big City vanishes, the apathetic council agrees to let Whit look into this strange mystery. While on the case, Whit finds something more disturbing than he ever imagined possible - a few bad eggs and a whole lot of clucking trouble. This fledgling demon hunter has to prove himself, stop the bad guys, save the city, get the girl, and figure out the best toppings for a burger named in his honor. Life in Big City feels like an amazing adventure, but this is only the beginning...
