"Even after reading the article, Sean didn’t know exactly what a chupacabra was. Obviously a beast of folklore people around here believed in. That was a problem. Unlike a vampire story, which no self-respecting journalist would write, the chupacabra was news in this region, having apparently been "terrorizing" Middleton for months.

The Cabals, vigilant for vampire activity since a spate of revenge killings two years ago, would find this. And, in investigating, they’d find his name attached...and discover where he’d been. Part of him wanted to say "oh, well" and let the chips fall where they may. But he wasn’t ready for that."

The Case of El Chupacabra takes place between the events of Haunted and Broken.  It's narrated by Lucas Cortez and Sean Nast, and will be available as part of an upcoming "Men of the Otherworld" collection.  For details on that, click here.
