The Preternatural Chronicles: Books 0.5-3.5

Preternatural Chronicles Boxsets, Volume 1

By: Hunter Blain

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

The first three novels and the prequel novella in the Preternatural Chronicles: I'm Glad You're Dead, Dawn and Quartered, Shadow of a Doubt, and Deliverance.

My name is John Cook, and my life began the day my heart stopped beating.

You meet the most interesting men in Medieval prisons. This one time, I met a guy who offered me immortality for the low, low price of changing my diet. I didn’t read the fine print. Because he wasn’t talking about a gluten-free diet. More like hemoglobin-full.

And now I’m a friggin’ vampire with five centuries of pop culture references.

Granted, at the time, I was listening to the dying screams of my mother and father being burned and eviscerated alive just outside the rusty bars of the prison cell, and my new best friend was offering me my only real chance at saving my own life and avenging my parents’ brutal murders.

Except my first chance at vengeance took about 500 years, and I had to wade through oceans of sin and violence, blackening my soul—and my already dark sense of humor—beyond redemption until I met Father Thomes—a Roman Catholic priest—in present-day Houston. Papa Thomes taught me how to use my dark curse to fight for the good guys. Like Alfred and Robin did for Batman—except we straight up murder Jokers and Two-Faces. Biteman and Pope’n.

We stand up for the downtrodden, the forgotten, and the neglected....

By exsanguinating the wicked in horrific, truly imaginative ways, and having a grand ol’ time doing it. You know what they say about doing what you love....

But our party is soon cut short when we learn the end of days is just around the corner and that the fine print of my contract might have hidden a few other tidbits. Like the fact that I was central to kicking off the apocalypse and that the archdemons will stop at nothing to make sure the dude abides by the terms of his contract.

I guess I need a lawyer.

Get ready to laugh at extreme violence. I know I will. If you’re not laughing, you’re learning.

Good, not kid friendly…

This is a fun story dedicated to the memory of a dear friend. As funny as it sounds, my best friend could easily be John as his described personality matches my guys character almost exactly. I can’t imagine losing him. That said the story is fun, but due to language and specific details, I wouldn’t recommend this to younger readers.

Best Urban Fantasy

A very well told story, with laughs that don't quit, tempered by moments of poignant emotion. You'll enjoy every moment.

Classic creatures with an interesting twist.

Is this perfect? No. But is it awesome? Yes
Almost like an alternate reality Dressen with an expansive world full of fun and interesting characters. This series takes nods from all over pop culture. With puns, fourth wall breaks, and references.
If you enjoy a heavily comedic story that also puts you in your feels then this is it. Laughs, anger, tears, and smiles.

Also, it's narrated by the legendary Luke Daniels. So that alone puts this story on a whole different level of awesome.

woah... i mean...

It was so damn good... i mean, perhaps a few extra 4th wall breaks that weren't needed, but otherwise, damn good stuff...

Started out slow - but then it hooked me.

I really liked the characters. Then Story got better as it went. I can recommend
