A mall-sized detour into monster trouble

Melvinge’s trip to an enormous mall turns into a collision with supernatural and science-fiction dangers: a bite threatens to make him a werewolf, while Shdark the Loan Shark is ready to eat whatever he cannot claim—including Melvinge’s dogoid companion and their interdimensional recreational vehicle. The oversized parking lots, strange creatures, and outlandish vehicle establish a comic, darkly humorous adventure in a fantastical universe. Its premise mixes familiar mall-going with werewolf lore and interdimensional travel, giving the story a deliberately extravagant scale.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in humorous dark fantasy and science-fiction adventure.
  • Readers who enjoy absurd monster premises, including werewolves and an unusually literal loan shark.
  • Those looking for imaginative adventures featuring unusual companions and interdimensional travel.

Imagine there's this mall, and it's the biggest thing you've ever seen in the whole universe. It's so big it's going to take your whole life just to find a place to park in one of its fifty qualjillion parking lots. Now imagine you're the biggest schlub in the universe. Your name is Melvinge. You're on your way to the mall with your faithful dogoid companion Harlan. Only you've bitten off more than you can chew, even if you had ten thousand sets of teeth.

You see, there are these Gypies waiting along the turnpike, and one of them will bite Melvinge and turn him into a werewolf. Then there's Shdark, the Loan Shark. What Shdark can't have, Shdark eats. Which includes not only Melvinge and Harlan, but their interdimensional recreational vehicle, the Grabovnikon! Ever have one of those nights. . . ?
