Blurb:As night-shift clerk at the go-to Quik-Mart for monsters with the munchies, Josh Caplan believes he’s seen it all. Battling lizard men, werewolves chasing cars in the parking lot . . . nothing fazes Josh anymore.
Or so he thinks, at least, until a yeti with poor communication skills drops a dead skunk on the checkout counter. Josh can’t figure what a living, breathing shag carpet wants with him, or why it won’t leave him alone no matter how hard he ignores it. But hey, at least it seems harmless . . . if perhaps a little slow on the draw.
But Sasquatch is plenty fast when two of Josh’s human customers try to out-monster the monsters. Times are strange when creatures from the hell portal save the day, but in the protective hands of a lovesick yeti and a sexy vampire boyfriend, Josh realizes that maybe his new normal isn’t so bad after all.

Review: This is the second story in the Josh of the Damned series. Its only 12 pages but wow what an awesome 12 pages. Warning! You will definitely want to go and get the entire series…
Josh works at a Quickie Mart on the night shift. Not many people will take the night shift since all the night creatures started pouring through the portal. But josh loves his job and met his sort of boyfriend a vampire from it so all is good. He also likes the weirdness, which is a good thing since it’s a lot of weird stuff going on.
This particular night a Yeti comes in and tosses a skunk on the counter. Yes I said Yeti and I don’t mean a sexy man that morphs into a pretty and hot Yeti. This is a real, ugly, Yeti that eats people and skunks and swamp stuff. And one that is crushing on Josh *sighs at the sweetness*
I loved this story. I liked that it wasn’t all sexy shifters and the creatures were real creatures. I like the subtle humours tone. I will definitely be checking out this series since it made me want to see more of why the creatures were coming into the world and oh yes I want more of Josh and Colin!!
If you’re looking for a fun, crazy, sort of sweet, unusual short read filled with Zombies, and other creatures of the night this is definitely for you!
