    About this ebook

    Urban Legends of the Future: A collection of six short stories set at the end of the 21st century. Follow an art student turned burnout, a washed up detective on the cold case desk, a dead money heiress with a head for chems, a servant clone that'll do anything to escape her career, an aging punk trapped in the past, and a drug pumped hacker trekking across the blasted out wastes of New America. But even these disparate souls on the edge of the night aren't prepared for what's lurking in the shadows of every wrong turn.

    Step into the world of the Lilim, where monsters of legend stalk human prey in a race for their own survival. Urban Legends of the Future contains six short stories as an introduction to the weird world where folklore gets future shock.

    Chris B. Bollweg

    Chris B. Bollweg resides in the Beautiful San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, CA, with his equally cynical significant other and their super snuggly pit bull. He grew up on a steady diet of ’80s/‘90s cartoons, heavy metal, gangsta rap, violent video games, R-rated movies, role playing games and comic books. He is everything your parents warned you about. Chris is the sole member of CiRCLE no.5, plays percussion and oddball instruments in the experimental group Doctors Without Borders, as well as rhythm guitar in the apocalyptic blues band The Gentlemen. He also takes pictures of food he makes and posts it online with absurd captions because it makes him laugh. He writes about folkloric monsters existing in our world from pre-history to the approaching future in the Lilim Chronicles.
