      05 – Family Matters

      05 – Family Matters Cover
      by Tower Curator “Adjustment!” Erika said, surprised with herself at being happy to see the spider-woman. Maybe it was that The Adjustment had come down to Varn’s on her own. If The Eclipse was pissed off about the whole maggot thing or the bird thing or The Puppet thing, they probably would have shown up in force, rather than just sending their usual liaison. That meant good things for The Hunters. “Agent,” The Adjustment grumbled, pushing right past Erika into Varn’s back office. She dragged out a chair…

      04 – Ghost Breakers Cover
      by Tower Curator “Go, move,” Leslie whispered as he urged the group back. Erika’s mind raced. Her heart thumped. Some headless horseman romped past them and Leslie and Rick barely flinched. Something about the situation scared the two older ghost hunters, which had her on edge in turn. She kept her eyes locked on the withered woman in white as she let Leslie guide her steps backwards. “Fully manifested?” Rick muttered under his breath like he couldn’t believe his own words, his fingers twitching in the…

      04 – A Breath of Fresh Air

      04 – A Breath of Fresh Air Cover
      by Tower Curator Erika woke with a sudden gasp, confused and disoriented. She sat on her side, just as she had been ten seconds ago. The room around her was no longer The Castle’s operating theater. The last thing she saw was The Orderly, warning her that she would feel a burning sensation in her arm as she added some anesthetic to Erika’s IV line. Erika distinctly recalled feeling a heat in her wrist. She opened her mouth to comment on it, then… The recovery room didn’t look much different from the room Erika…

      03 – Not So Dangerous Anymore Cover
      by Tower Curator “Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery is the most haunted graveyard in the world?” Erika read off her phone. “I find that hard to believe.” “Why not?” Daniel asked, sitting alongside Erika in the back seat of Rick’s new van. “It’s a creepy old graveyard.” “It isn’t that old,” Erika corrected, reading from the article. “The first burial was apparently in 1844, not even two hundred years ago. Pick a random graveyard in Europe and I bet they’re older than this place.” Leslie,…

      02 – Flying High

      02 – Flying High Cover
      by Tower Curator “The Terminator didn’t follow you into the future,” Erika said, not as a question, but as a simple statement. She was willing to admit that most of the fight sounded confusing, but she got that part of it. “I don’t believe it can. At least not to the same extent that I am able.” Erika drew in a deep, slow breath as she took in The Fixer’s recounting of their fight with the clockwork angel. Having seen The Fixer’s full robot form in action against Jack, she was surprised they would…

      01 – Flipping the Narrative

      01 – Flipping the Narrative Cover
      by Tower Curator “I’m standing here live in Millennium Park, where crowds have gathered behind police barricades around The Bean. This is one of several locations in Chicago and its surrounding area where what can only be described as enormous, metallic-feathered birds have taken up a perch.” Erika paused, dropping a heavy weight, as she watched the camera pan off the reporter. The curved chrome of The Bean reflected dozens of people gathered around the artistic sculpture, all holding phones up to record. As the…
