Dead Silver | comment |
Hawke just wanted to go on vacation, hang out with his friend Rocke and catch the notoriously hard to find chupacabra. Instead he arrives in the town of Silver Dreams to find out Rocke is missing, the body count is rising, and he’s the only one able to help the town.Dead Silver is an urban fantasy novel, written by Max Florschutz and published in 2014. It’s the sequel to his novella One Drink which details Hawke and Rocke’s search for a Ghost Wolf in New England.Not to be confused with a 2008 novel of the same name by Neil McMahon. | |

Abandoned Mine | |
Dead Silver / int_1bc0ca82 | comment |
Abandoned Mine: Hawke and Rocke both want to explore nearby abandoned mines for signs of the Chupacabra. Unfortunately the company that owns the mines won’t let them, citing liability reasons. Furthermore, the climax of the book takes place in a particularly large one. | |

Pragmatic Villainy: Henderson is immediately helpful to Hawk once he’s been caught. He explains the whole plan and how it went wrong. He does this as he has nothing left to lose with the wraiths hunting him and as the sole surviving conspirator his story, which paints him in a decent light, is the only one anyone will get. | |
