Chuck Cave's Burlesque Gretel's Big Bad Wolf, Book 1, (Paperback)

<p><em>Not many people know I was a silent partner in a burlesque show in Houston, Texas from 1978 thru 1983. I did it to help an old buddy from the Army. Seemed a great way to meet girls when work brought me down that way. Turns out it got me up to my neck in trouble a few times, too. Let me tell you about one of them.</em></p><p><em>This would've happened, oh, somewhere in September of '78. I'd been a silent partner for just five months, sending regular payments Dick Lange's way so he could renovate and keep the doors from shuttering while amassing some talent . . .</em></p><p><strong>Blood Moon Over Houston </strong></p><p>The dancer Dolly Dearest (aka Gretel Rockatansky) is a hit, beloved by the attendees. However, one of them has taken his love to extremes, building it into a twisted obsession. The cops won't help, seeing dancers as freak magnets who deserve what they get.</p><p>Only Chuck Cave will stand up for her.</p><p>As the moon hangs far and full over the mean streets of Houston, a psychopath stalks. Can Cave and Gretel survive the night, or will the wolf lusting for her body and blood have his fill?</p><p><strong>Welcome to the Nightmare Show</strong></p><p><em>Gretel and the Wolf</em> is the first entry in <em>Chuck Cave's Burlesque</em>, a series of short thrillers. It is a pulse-pounding standalone starring C.C. Blake's irrepressible troublemaker, Chuck Cave.</p><p>Fans of Joe R. Lansdale's <em>Hap and Leonard</em>, Robert Bloch's psychological suspense, and J.A. Konrath's thrillers will find a similar mix of action, danger, and macabre sense of humor.</p><p>This edition includes two bonus stories starring the Chuck Cave character.</p><p>More twisted tales from <em>Chuck Cave's Burlesque</em> are coming soon!</p>
