Rupert Wong, Cannibal Chef

A novella.

In Kuala Lumpur, where deities and damned souls number in the millions, it doesn't pay to be a medium.

By day, Rupert Wong makes human hors d'oeuvres for a dynasty of ghouls. By night, he pushes pencils for the Ten Chinese Hells. But that still isn’t enough to buy him a new car, or his langsuir girlfriend passage from the reincarnation cycle. But then opportunity comes knocking with a whip and a carrot in each hand.

The Dragon King of the South has a job for Rupert: find out who murdered the ocean god’s daughter and her once-mortal husband. He is given a single clue — bloodied feathers from the Greek furies —and the order to be discreet. Unfortunately, that clue could catalyze inter-pantheon conflict. If the Grecian divinities learn that the Dragon King suspects them of filicide, it might mean war. And Rupert would be stuck in the crossfire...

Gods & Monsters: Rupert Wong: Cannibal Chef will be an e-first publication.
