Hunting vampires is her legacy. Detective Rainey Astor walks a dangerous line between the human and supernatural worlds.

Spanning a decade of writing, Still So Strange is Amanda Downum's first collection of short fiction, and includes stories originally released in Strange Horizons, Realms of Fantasy, and Weird Tales, as well as original, unpublished work.

The rogue Alpha fled, but he's left a surprise for the Romanian pack—a witch intent on destroying the grey wolves.
