'Crimson Hooves' continues Bill's epic Lovecraftian adventure. This 30k word novella details his first traumatic case.

All is not well in sleepy Gloucestershire. Strange goatish creatures haunt the woods. Babes are abducted from cribs, without even a changeling being left in their place. The idyllic village of Gaffyrton might harbour dark secrets. Does Bill's mysterious new client, one Melanie Shrub, know more than she's letting on? There's only one way to find out.

Things are going to get messy and dark. Really dark. Like night.
