Thank you all for supporting me on this gruesome endeavor from half-baked ideas to a fully-fermented novel! I so appreciate every one of your comments and votes -- they really pushed me through to the finish line.
A special thanks to my Wattys Bootcamp mentor, OwlieCat, whose amazing feedback helped me reorganize and refine this story.
If you enjoyed this story, consider checking out my "The Claimed" fantasy series. The first novel is manxman, the prequel is womanxwoman, and coming up next is a womanxman sequel. The series has a little more serious tone than "Human Bait," with political tension and diverse, memorable characters.
I am also writing a manxman fantasy-romance called "Lord of the Night" about a noble Guardian and his Demon prisoner.
If you enjoyed the humor in this story, you might like my fantasy satire, "Granny Thayer, Demon Slayer," cowritten by CMF_Wright.
For more chills, thrills, and plot twists, you can peruse my collection of scary shorts, "Ember Grove and Other Scary Stories."
