Season of the Witch

Not many people know I was a silent partner in a burlesque show in Houston, Texas from 1978 thru 1983. I did it to help an old buddy from the Army. Seemed a great way to meet girls when work brought me down that way. Turns out it got me up to my neck in trouble a few times, too. Let me tell you about one of them. This happened in January of '79, and it gave me a new insight into the spook show as well as that old chestnut about the cold body parts of witches . . . Chilly Nights Burlesque dancer Hecate has invited Chuck Cave to a séance party, and though he's no believer in the otherworldly, he accompanies her. They arrive to find a wild scene with drugs and sex flying free. It's a candy land for rich hedonists. But trouble is brewing between Chuck, his date, the party's host, and a set of identical twin perverts that will only come out when the spook show begins ... Hot Times Season of the Witch is the second short thriller in the Chuck Cave's Burlesque series. A series of original stories following the beloved action hero, this short story offers readers an action-packed yarn that explores the thin barrier the reality we take for granted and the mysterious realm of spirits and specters ... Fans of Joe R. Lansdale's Hap and Leonard, Robert Bloch's psychological suspense, and J.A. Konrath's thrillers will find a similar mix of action, danger, and macabre sense of humor. This exclusive edition includes an excerpt from C.C. Blake's Chuck Cave novel, The Devils of Los Angeles. More twisted tales from Chuck Cave's Burlesque are coming soon!
