Midnight Blue-Light Special

InCryptid #2 / 15

Midnight Blue-Light Special (InCryptid #2) by Seanan McGuire

Cryptid, noun:
1. Any creature whose existence has been suggested but not proven scientifically. Term officially coined by cryptozoologist John E. Wall in 1983.
2. That thing that's getting ready to eat your head.
3. See also: "monster."


The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity - and humanity from them. Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she'd rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and when her work with the cryptid community took her to Manhattan, she thought she would finally be free to pursue competition-level dance in earnest. It didn't quite work out that way...

But now, with the snake cult that was killing virgins all over Manhattan finally taken care of, Verity is ready to settle down for some serious ballroom dancing - until her on-again, off-again, semi-boyfriend Dominic De Luca, a member of the monster-hunting Covenant of St. George, informs her that the Covenant is on their way to assess the city's readiness for a cryptid purge. With everything and everyone she loves on the line, there's no way Verity can take that lying down.

Alliances will be tested, allies will be questioned, lives will be lost, and the talking mice in Verity's apartment will immortalize everything as holy writ - assuming there's anyone left standing when all is said and done. It's a midnight blue-light special, and the sale of the day is on betrayal, deceit... and carnage.

Seanan McGuire

Seanan McGuire

Seanan McGuire is a name that resonates with readers of urban fantasy, horror, and science fiction, known for her deep explorations into the dark and strange corners of the world. But while many recognize her for her October Daye and InCryptid series, Seanan’s literary prowess extends far beyond her most famous works. Under the name Mira Grant, she delves into gripping dystopias and terrifyingly believable horror with a touch of speculative brilliance. As A. Deborah Baker, she ventures into the whimsical and profound, creating rich, layered worlds that ask the reader to think deeply while being swept away in adventure.

Born and raised in Northern California, Seanan’s love for storytelling began early, with a childhood full of fantasy novels and a passion for role-playing games. That interest eventually blossomed into a career that spans genres and shows no sign of slowing down. She first burst onto the scene with the October Daye series, which blends urban fantasy with rich mythological underpinnings, offering a world filled with creatures, magic, and politics, all wrapped in the character of a fierce and witty protagonist.

In addition to her work as Seanan McGuire, she has written under the name Mira Grant, bringing readers to the brink of horror with novels like Feed, which explore the intersection of zombie apocalypses and media culture. As A. Deborah Baker, she crafts stories that reflect her interest in history, exploration, and the mysteries of the unknown, offering tales that balance wonder with a healthy dose of dark curiosity.

Her books, whether written under her real name or her pseudonyms, all share a common thread: characters facing the unknown, struggling with their identities, and navigating worlds where reality and fantasy are intertwined. Whether diving into the eerie, the fantastical, or the unsettling, Seanan McGuire’s work invites readers to venture into realms where the impossible feels heartbreakingly real, and where every twist and turn is a promise of something both new and familiar.
