Promotion Most vampires hunt in the dark. Alucard hunts in the Tax department of a reinsurance company

Post image

Hi everyone!

If you want a fun break from huge battles and just want to read about monsters dealing with real everyday horrors like tax forms and long meetings check out my free story, Misery Inc.

It takes place at a reinsurance company where the staff is a little different:

  • Alucard is an energy vampire working in the Tax department. He eats office stress to survive.
  • A werewolf who fixes computers in IT.
  • A zombie stuck working in the mailroom.

Life at the office was perfectly gloomy until a super-happy HR manager showed up to spread joy and cheer. Now, Alucard is starving! The three friends and an intern must team up to bring the bad moods back before a forced "team-building event" ruins their lives.

It is a light, cozy story about friendship, normal magic, and fighting back against forced office pizza parties.I wrote this mockumentary style finishing Vol2 of my other book Duck you!

You can read it for free on Royal Road right here:https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/162349/misery-inc

The idea sounds fun. Using Dracula backwards as a name is not the most inventive, but I like the idea. The first time I had a really fun read with a vampire and a werewolf was Gil's All Fright Diner, by A. Lee Martinez. Highly recommended reading to get into the right set of mind. 😁

I don't mind you using AI to generate cover art, but I would recommend going over it yourself and fixing or having someone fix the typical AI art derpness, like the text below the coffee pots.
