“Suspects. Who are the suspects? Who could access Claimus’ apartment? Well, other than mother…”

Part 3 of my brand new 6-part story, “Claimus Flees Manhattan,” is now live on Undie Press.

The story so far: It is the hottest day of the year. Albert Claimus has been forced from the sanctuary of his home by a strange incident — an uncanny intrusion on his personal space. Now, forced out on to the streets, Claimus goes to the only safe place in all of Manhattan — a bar — to narrow his list of potential suspects. While seeking solace in a glass of whiskey, we learn who may have it out for our non-hero and get an eerie glimpse in to the love life of Claimus.

Once again, this installment includes a new illustration by the great Chris Sinderson.

“Claimus Flees Manhattan” is also in my new short story collection, Songs of Vagabonds, Misfits, and Sinners, which you can grab just about anywhere (but here’s a handy link with places where you can get the book or eBook):

And there’s even a soundtrack I created for the book, including a theme for “Claimus Flees Manhattan.” You can grab it off iTunes or BandCamp.
