She Might Be Hungry - Book One in the Stiffs Series

Dorothy is a vampire - in fact, her entire family became vampires in 1927 in order to escape forced sterilization. They were targeted as "criminal types" by the Eugenics Board of North Carolina. Father Edward Stone has arrived at his first parish assignment. Young, handsome, and sarcastic, he just finished eight years of seminary convinced there is no such thing as the supernatural. Edward doesn't believe in the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection of Christ -- or vampires. Until he witnesses Dorothy massacre the patrons of a local Burger King. Dorothy, on the other hand is hopelessly smitten with Edward. After all, she knows there is a God. Thus, by her reckoning, Edward is even more cosmically adrift than she is.It's a match made in Heaven or Hell or someplace in between as Dorothy and Edward must deal with a flash flood that sends caskets careening down the Ocmulgee River, releasing Dorothy's estranged vampire brother from exile and, worse still, as Dorothy's father toys with unspeakable rites not seen since the days of the Ammonites, unwittingly causing an ancient evil to take the stage again in the 21st century and putting his family in more trouble than they have seen since 1927."Hatcher is thoughtful, even meditative, but whimsical in the midst of being deadly serious." -- Mike Hertenstein, author Selling Satan"I like how I get completely, totally sucked right in, all the way to my archetypal unconscious, into Hatcher's fictive world. Writing for him, seems more a kind of cosmic channeling than a mind-hand-pen-paper activity. " -- Janet Neale

From the Inside Flap

"Great. Genuinely creepy, funny and sad in the right places. And, to be honest, I have downloaded lots of independently published volume ones before and never paid for the next installment or cared a lot about reading it. Hatcher has something here that should rise above the pack." - Sara Silberger"I like how I get completely, totally sucked right in, all the way to my archetypal unconscious in Hatcher's fictive world. Writing for him seems more a kind of cosmic channeling than a mind-hand-pen-paper activity." - Janet Neale
