    Detective Luke Miller and the Perilous Púca

    What are you afraid of? Pray a púca never learns that answer. After hunting down supernatural baddies and killing the dragon and the end of existence, you'd think Luke Miller's unstoppable. Think again. He's hunting a unique quarry. A monster that is all monsters, your worst enemy and your best friend. This terror hides in plain sight. Spotting a shapeshifter is hard, even for a seasoned P.I. Luke must work quickly with his cohort Dr. Dahlia Harriet to confront the ever-changing calamity before it's too late. This is one nightmare that shouldn't come to life.

But he ain't dead yet. Against all odds, Luke has one last desperate plan to ruin the dragon that would end us all. With it, he carries the hope of forces magic and mortal. Does the Detective have what it takes to fulfill his destiny and avert the end of existence?

    I Can't Breathe

    I Can't Breathe

    THIS IS NOT A STORY. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. We are alarmed about our hometown of Minneapolis, MN. One week ago, police murdered George Floyd in the streets of our neighborhood. But this issue runs deeper than racist, homicidal cops. The time for complacency is over. It's not enough to be satisfied with the state of things, especially when those things are built on centuries of slavery and genocide. This message is a plea from the Editors of Sic Semper Serpent. We (*ahem, white people especially*) must take more action immediately.

    CONTENT TRIGGER WARNING: This episode begins with a brief description of George Floyd's murder, skip to 1:16 to avoid it.

    HOST & MASTERING: Michael Strand.   PUBLISHER: Sic Semper Serpent Books.
