Jack is an ex-magician turned criminal. When he discovers that the seedy underbelly of the 1980s hides secrets of a mythological Underworld, he'll need to learn some new tricks to survive. Wildcards is a rogue's gallery of otherworldly detectives, undead mafia, and bloodthirsty femme fatales. Gamble for your soul with this compendium of the dark fantastic. It begins with the novel One-Eyed Jacks... Jack is a jaded former illusionist who's turned his back on the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas. Now a cunning criminal, he shuffles in smuggling jobs and counterfeit art between stiff drinks and a half-assed search for greater purpose. When a collection job goes sideways, his boss sends him out of town to cool things off. Just a quick bounce to a remote Pacific island at the edge of the map. There Jack meets a Hong Kong mafia queen for a simple trade: Western art for Eastern antiquity. An ancient oracle that supposedly predicted the rise and fall of empires. But there is no such thing as magic, right? Soon a beautiful casino girl, rival mobsters, and fearsome spirits straight out of Chinese myth all want to cash in Jack's chips. With a mystical deck stacked against him, can this Sin City escape artist make it out alive? Then deal yourself a hand full of jokers, all grinning with that playful glint of Hell in their eyes... Eight harrowing bonus stories of edgy urban fantasy, exciting pulp fiction, gritty crime noir science fiction, and delicious vampire horror. A menagerie of thrills and chills to sink your teeth into-but be warned, they bite back! Satisfy your guilty pleasures, darkest hunger, and calls for Cthulhu today. Formerly published as the Grit & Shadows Omnibus. ¿¿¿¿¿ "Brink melds hard-boiled mystery, robot sex slaves, and a twist on Greek myth, all which evoke Blade Runner, and leaves you wanting for more." -- Tales of the Talisman Magazine "A great pulp noir piece involving casinos, gunfights, and a dash of magic reminiscent of Big Trouble in Little China. Fun, exciting fiction that reads like my favorite movies from the '80s." - Barbarian Book Club "[Brink] has a devious mind and his stories are to die for." - Jan on Amazon
