The Dead Well

Small-town Magic Meets Big City Sorcery

So why does Monfro Glibestun, A/C wizard with a heart of gold (and the face of a gargoyle), suddenly have six fat earlobes? Tuckle, rural Farway’s foremost loafer, has nothing but time to find out. But even the unflappable Tuckle is dumbstruck when the tainted well behind Monfro’s house tells its side of the story . . . using the carrion flies it attracts for vocal cords.

The well’s tale of woe jolts Tuckle into action; he’s determined to stop a terrible doom from crashing down on the oblivious Monfro and family. But is the well telling the whole truth? Is Helz Uvic, troubled young sorceress and star magical researcher, really the monster it makes her out to be? What’s her connection to a little-known demon called the Collector?

The fates of Tuckle, Helz, and Monfro mesh in this vivid fantasy overflowing with suspense, weird humor, odd creatures, and one-of-a-kind action.

For the fantasy freak fed up with ramble-on epics — a richly complete novel for the Forgotten Reader!
