About this audiobook
In Unnatural Heroes, Jim Eridani presents three eerie tales where monsters may be frightening—but not always evil.
In “The Man on the Bench,” an ancient vampire who has learned mercy hides in plain sight, pretending to be blind while listening for strangers who may need his strange gifts. In “The Rat Who Quoted Hemingway,” a literate mutant rat escapes the lab and becomes the unlikely defender of a family trapped in a storm. In “The Good Smell in the Dark,” an abused dog is helped by a fearsome creature.
Dark, strange, and touched with grim humor, these stories ask a haunting question: Can something unnatural still become heroic?
