Tabitha 🐀

The cover of Exquisite Undead: An Anthology of Vampires curated by T.L. Morgan. It shows an androgynous vampire figure holding a glass of blood, amidst an intricate background that looks like a stained glass window. There are motifs of roses and bats among the stained glass. The vampire is facing away from the viewer, with their head turned slightly over their shoulder and a slight smirk on their face.

THE MODERN MYTHOS CONTINUUM Coming October 6, 2026

PYTHON IS RESTLESS. A decade of domesticity, of shacking-up with his warlock partner Calysto and learning to bake, have turned the vampire soft. So, when Calysto plans an exciting anniversary trip to the hedonistic night city of Arcade, Python is eager for the change in scenery and a taste of the thrill of his former life. But, little do they know, they aren't the only supernatural beings who thrive in the neon-lit dark. When Python temporarily vanishes on a routine blood-hunt, only to reappear with no memory of who Calysto is, it thrusts the shimmering facade of Arcade into a sinister shadow. As the threat of a permanently regressed Python looms, Calysto must abandon their getaway to find the source of his partner's missing memories, even if he has to drag an uncooperative Python by the scruff of the neck to do it. Using every power at his disposal, Calysto employs the assistance of his increasingly-distant vampire hunter partner Aeris, and his innate, unpracticed ability to time travel, only to discover that the threat is intertwined with his life in ways he never anticipated.

COMING OCT 6, 2026

The long awaited continuation of The Modern Mythos Universe will find the crew in the jaws of a night city built on subterfuge. There’s also time travel and smoochin and cryptids?
