Niteblade #25 - Alice Underground

Fiction

The Kiss of Legend by T.H. Lee
The cops launched a full-fledged investigation, careful to keep the circumstances of the deaths out of the media. The F.B.I. was even calling, but no one would discuss details with me.

Le Cirque by Jess Simms
A gray-jumpsuited Bellagio mechanic was tethered to the highbar rig above. It had malfunctioned last night during the Masked Thief’s first-act solo. The Muses had been on it at the time.

Empire of Ash by Cameron Johnston
It seemed to him that somehow even in death the land protected what it could. Maybe the heathen Cruithii had been right in a way.

Jonesy by Evan Purcell
Cleveland is in my backyard now. He’s in the spot with no grass. There are three other spots like it, but Cleveland is in the one behind the porch.

With The Band by Carl Barker
His voice was louder this time, somehow closer than before. Stronger. I could hear his long dead fingers patiently drumming out a familiar rhythm in the background.
