The Night Shift

Monster hunting in Belgium anno 2014: no pay, no backup, no clue. Manu is an anxious biomedical sciences student suffocating under middle-class respectability who lies to everyone about everything. Anthony is a bathroom store manager with a short fuse and a crowbar, one abusive boss away from unemployment and financial ruin. Together they fight the monstrous things that come out at night. Not because they want to-because five years ago, they watched their predecessor die, and there‘s no one else to do it. The crop circles and rifts tearing open across their city don‘t care about their problems. And when one of them gets dragged into the fairy world, the other goes in after him, and discovers the things they‘ve been fighting have been holding back. Grounded urban fantasy for readers tired of Chosen Ones: just two ordinary young men in Namur, Belgium, who fight monsters with homemade weapons, empty bank accounts, and no idea what they‘re doing-European realism meets contemporary fantasy.
