The Last Purr: Horror Short Story Collection Haunted Cats & Dark Myth Gothic Victorian Supernatural (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246080467)

Ten Stories of Stolen Warmth
by Michelle Hoffmann

Some cats comfort the dying.
Others linger... to take what's left.

Set in the shadowed streets and candlelit rooms of the 1800s, THE LAST PURR is a gothic horror collection bound by a single, chilling myth: a hidden god named Aelurion who keeps the world in balance by counting breath, weight, and consequence.

When someone becomes too heavy for the world to carry-too cruel, too corrupt, too loud, too entitled-Aelurion sends cats.

Each story follows a different feline harbinger:
a cat who despises drunkards,
one who listens for false virtue,
one who refuses unwanted hands,
one who watches courtrooms and counts injustice,
and others who quietly drain the warmth from those who have taken too much.

Threaded through them all is Morrow, the herald-
the cat who does not judge,
the cat who simply knows when the hour has come.

This is slow-burn, atmospheric horror-more haunting than gory-where justice is quiet, mercy has limits, and purring is never a comfort.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Gothic & Victorian horror
- Supernatural folklore
- Moral horror and dark mythology
- Interconnected short story collections
- Cats with unsettling purpose

If you like your horror poetic, unsettling, and sharp enough to linger long after the final page, THE LAST PURR is waiting.

And it already knows your name.
