Cruel and Unusual Magic (Fear Club)

Western magic and the Japanese supernatural world go hex-to-hex in this occult thriller of revenge and redemption. When a runaway Soul Eater and his deranged werecat team up with a drug-dealing Faerie Vampire and a heartsick Shinigami Reaper for a Japanese gangster, there's going to be trouble. Soul Eater, monster, murderer and still only eighteen, Julian Lake comes to Japan seeking revenge against the sorcerers who sacrificed his lover to their dark magic. But first, he needs a rare enchanted cord made of braided demon skin. The cord is capable of binding any supernatural creature, even a Soul Eater. In Tokyo's red light district where the gangsters are demons hiding in plain sight, Julian comes to the aid of a local crime boss. As thanks, the demon promises to help Julian acquire the cord. But first, could the Soul Eater look into a small problem of unruly Mountain Demons hijacking the gangster's shipments? Aided and abetted by his werecat, Hex, Julian is joined by several companions. Each has their own agenda for traveling with him. The vampire is licking his fangs over the enhanced blood of a Soul Eater. The young Shinigami Reaper is searching for a missing ghostly lover. And Hex, well, she's only in it for the fish. Everyone just might reach their goal on the mystical shores of the Lake of the Dead in Japan's frozen north, if they don't kill each other first. You can't defeat the demons you enjoy playing with.
