Not long ago, I made a vow. I’ll never be a victim ever again.
Captured by the enemy working to steal my throne, the Boston Coven thinks these cell bars I’m behind means they’ve won. They believe that I’m just some weak half-blood princess who barely knows how to be human, let alone rule the vampires. And just a few weeks ago, I would have agreed.
But my four vampire princes have taught me that I am strong.
Strong enough to rule the vampire kingdom as its first mortal queen.
Strong enough to claim all four of the Knight progeny as my mates and not only handle their ravenous hunger but revel in it.
They’ve also taught me I’m fragile. Not fragile like other mortals…
I’m fragile like a f*cking bomb.
Dagon Knight and his precious coven will kneel before me as their true queen. Otherwise, I’ll bring this whole damn place down to its foundation, and on the wreckage that remains of my enemies, I’ll dance.

Author: Filthy Loot
Three novellettes by three different horror authors, each one implored to contain two very specific things: LAZERS and MALLS. The variety between these three stories was great, as each author took the concept and made it their own. And while the book might be labelled as ‘horror’ there are healthy doses of weirdness and humor running through the veins of each of these tales. A short read (seriously, it only took me like 2 hours to read the whole thing) but a helluva good time.- Danger Slater (author, I Will Rot Without You and Puppet Skin) Just when you thought it was safe to go to the mall…
Three authors (Katy Michelle Quinn, Jo Quenell, Sam Richard) of the strange, the unsettling, and the bizarre each conjure their own vision of lazer-infused mall-horror. From queer mall-goths fighting for their lives against androids with explosive genitals, to the American propaganda machine using coerced shock-rocker punk musicians to fight Soviet Communism, to a mall security officer high on the power of robots who seeks to crush the women who’ve scorned him.
We have it all, and more…
Welcome to the LAZERMALL.
