Uncollected Anthology: Monster Hunters

Christian uses his magic to protect the world from monsters great and small who slither and slime their way into our dimension seeking to satisfy their all-consuming hunger. Not quite human himself, Christian possesses a certain charm that tends to make him irresistible.Especially to women like the one in a slinky red dress who watches him trap a particularly stubborn little beastie one dark night.A woman with powerful magic of her own.In Christian's experience, a woman like that would only seek him out for two reasons. His reputation as a monster hunter. Or his reputation as a ladies' man.He should have known better.
