Dead Things

The first novel Stephen Blackmoores noir urban fantasy series, in which necromancer Eric Carter returns home to find his sisters killer—and send them straight to hell…

Eric Carter has a unique skill—he can talk to the dead. Specifically, communicating with restless spirits—or other, even worse entities—and getting them to move on or move out. Sometimes, they take a lot of convincing. And sometimes, they straight up try to kill him. Its not your typical way to make a living, but Carters managed to make it work. Life is pretty good.

At least it was. Because Carters little sister has just been brutally killed. By something nightmarish.

To find the killer Eric Carter is going to have to return to L.A., which he left fifteen years ago when he made a lot people—and paranormal entities—very angry. And those people have long, unforgiving memories. But Carter is no pushover. Hes got more heavy-duty magical power than most of those with his skill set, and hes more than happy to use it on anyone or anything who tries to stop him from finding his sisters killer.

And when he does, he is going to make them pray for death—and then hes going to answer their prayers…

Praise for the Eric Carter series:
"Blackmoore employs Chandleresque prose to smoothly incorporate a hard-boiled sense of urban despair into a paranormal plot, with occasional leavening provided by smart-aleck humor." — Publishers Weekly on Dead Things

"In a world where Aztec Mythology, dark magic and grim reality blend together, nothing is what it appears to be... Best of all, Blackmoores chillingly good storytelling skills ensures that fans will enjoy every step of this adrenaline fueled journey." — RT Book Reviews (Top Pick) on Broken Souls

"This series is so fucking good. Blackmoore cant write these books fast enough to suit me. BROKEN SOULS is hyper-caffeinated, turbo-bloody face-stomping fun. This is the L.A-noir urban fantasy youve been looking for." — Kevin Hearne, Author of The Iron Druid Chronicles

"Carters wry voice is amusing as ever, but the grief he carries is palpable, adding depth and a sense of desperation to this action-packed adventure. Readers will be eager for more after this thrilling, emotionally fraught installment." — Publishers Weekly on Ghost Money, Starred Review
