Jackie Kessler brings her âfluid prose and dark humorâ (Kirkus Reviews) to the Carniepunk anthology with this very sexy urban fantasy short story you wonât want to miss.
The former succubus Jezebel has to prepare herself to battle the King of HellâŠtomorrow. Tonight, sheâs taking a break. With her friend Ceci Baker (a.k.a the one-time stripper Candy), she visits a traveling carnival on the outskirts of a small town in upstate New York, only to discover that the barker is a demon of Greed, and getting marked means way more than playing a rigged game. Thatâs okay; Jezebelâs been known to gamble beforeâand thereâs nothing like blood, sweat, and leers to bring out the demon in her.
