Haunting the Scavenger (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218815028)

Monty finds his life in shambles following the sudden death of his mentor, Dr. Giovanni. Searching for work to get back on his feet (and off his friend Mina's living room floor) he finds a groundskeeper listing at the Giovanni Estate, the very location of his professor's suicide. Now, presented with the opportunity to learn what really happened, Monty takes the job. However, upon arriving at his professor's crumbling Victorian mansion, he finds that its lone inhabitant, Cameron, is a little less than willing to share any details about their late mother.

Ignoring the warning signs, Monty sticks to his guns, even when plagued by whatever is lurking in the woods, the ghosts of regrettable actions, rattling sabers, and his growing yearning for his eccentric employer. Did the doctor really kill herself, or could there have been foul play? What monsters really haunt the shadows of 67 Blackberry Place? Is Mina's girlfriend on to something? And why does Cameron keep looking at Monty like that?

Haunting the Scavenger is a Queer Gothic Horror set in early 2000s upstate NY featuring all the classics such as a big burly "damsel in distress", the illustrious haunted Victorian mansion, vampires, a good dose of horror, steamy make-outs, sword fights, awful women's wrongs, and much more!
