Tales include John Murphy and friends going up against a jinn who granted a deathwish, Agent Karver facing one of his dead, Terrorbelle vs. Zombielicious, the Soul for Hire trying to kill a corpse that can not die and the Infinite Jester defending Camelot against the walking dead.

Follow the rainbow to its end and you will discover a place where magic is as real as hope and legends dwell.

For the troubled, it is a place to find those who will help them in beating back the darkness.

For those lucky enough to find it, their lives will never again be the same.

The name of the place is Bulfinche’s Pub. 

These are their stories. 

This is Murphy’s Lore. 

Maireann dóchas is gliodar

(Hope & Happiness Never Die

Written in Gaelic above the doorway of Bulfinche's Pub

 This is the offical website for Patrick Thomas and his Fantasy Humor series MURPHY'S LORE™, set at Bulfinche's Pub, the bar at the end of the rainbow. Owned by leprechaun Paddy Moran, it's a place where Dionysus pour the drinks and Hercules watches the door. It is a second home to the legends of our day and a beacon of hope to troubles souls, lead there by the simple magic of the rainbow. One never knows what will come in the door next: Armageddon or a terrified man with no socks. Whatever happens, two things are certain: Hope and Happiness never die, and the first drink is always on the house.

C.J. Henderson was kind enough to invite me and a few other into his Teddy London universe for the chance to cross over with the amazing Lai Wan. Agent Mandi Cobb and Agent Karver seek Lai Wan's help to rescue her nephew. The problem is Mandi and Lai Wan have worked together before and things didn't go so well...

An era is coming to an end. Cthulhu Sex is closing its pages. St. Michael was good enough to let me be a part of the Cthulhu Sex family for last eight issues  so I return the favor by killing him not once but twice. Once in a tale of  THE GRAVEYARD ANGEL and a second time by Dear Cthulhu.

The Cthulhu Sex lives on in the Two Backed Books imprint of Raw Dog Screaming-see FLESH AND IRON above.
