The Bone Eaters

By Keith Faigin ’92. Edited by Chris Green ’92. CAKE Mix Press. December 2013. A vampire, a werewolf and the Detroit Police Department’s most incompetent Inhuman Crimes Unit officer walk into a bar. Oh, and so does the CEO of a pharmaceutical company which is hiding a terrible secret.  And also the charismatic pastor of a Detroit mega-church/casino who is enraged that the corpse of one of his flock may have been reanimated as part of a mafia-run zombie fight club. And let’s not even get into the young pharmacology researcher conducting a controlled experiment to figure out why men never call her for a second date. Newly minted private eye, Nick Slipwick, joins forces with Lieutenant Amato to unravel these mysteries.
