Ritual of Fire

Put up a short story on Smashwords that I wrote years ago called Ritual of Fire.

I love the old style pulp stories; the fast action and women in peril with an unlikely anti-hero that comes to the rescue in the nick of time. Pulp writing is a form onto itself, and I may take the time to write here how I try to produce the stories I want to tell.

Ritual of Fire is about a man who is sent from a secret order of demon hunters to stop a human sacrifice before a demon is called forth. He is armed with a magic-knife that can drain the essence of any living thing it is thrust in (insert jokes here). He has been a hunter for some time now, but has yet to come across a sacrifice in person. He's strong, he's resilient and resourceful, but he's also scared.
