Warlock Rising

by Nathan Crowder

There is madness spreading on the streets of Cobalt City.

Thankfully the city has superheroes to protect it.

When the Goblin Riders cycle gang and their powerful leader, Oni, begin to push a dangerous new street drug called Warlock, it falls to Gato Loco’s protégé, Caterwaul, to put a stop to it. Because Warlock isn’t like other drugs. It’s a dangerous hallucinogenic that could lead to permanent madness. And if Caterwaul can’t stop it, things could get seriously freaky.

One man cannot stop an entire gang and their superpowered leader by himself, not even the scrappy and reckless Caterwaul. Forced by circumstance to enlist a new partner in the fight, he reaches out to Lionfish, another thrill-seeking cyclist who is fast enough to keep up with the action.

But Lionfish is more than he seems, and Caterwaul might have just put himself and the city in more danger than he planned on. With a big shipment of Warlock about to hit the city, does he have what it takes to stop the Goblin Riders, Oni, and his one-time ally at the same time?

Warlock Rising is a stand-alone novella of gritty, heart-pounding heroics from Cobalt City creator Nathan Crowder that can also be read as a piece of the puzzle in the four-part epic Mad World Cycle.
