Blood on the Ice now in audio!
Ian Thomas Healy’s urban fantasy novel Blood on the Ice is now available as an audiobook. Urban fantasy may be a bit of a misnomer. It’s more like rural fantasy. That is to say, the book takes place in a small town in British Columbia. It’s about a really terrible sub-minor league hockey team. When vampirism begins to infect the team, they start winning.
Thus, first line center Hammie Hamlisch must make a terrible decision. Does he let the plague continue and enjoy the Fighting Aardvarks’ new winning tradition? Or does he become a vampire hunter and slay his own friends and teammates for the greater good?
Whatever the outcome, we’re sure you will enjoy Evan Harris’ narration. We certainly did!
From Chapter One:
You see that? The glint in his eyes? That’s the cold, steely gaze of a killer. If this was ten thousand years ago, he’d be a barefoot caveman hunting woolly mammoths on a grassy plain with nothing more than a spear and balls the size of coconuts. Our story, though, takes place in a more modern time, and instead of a spear, he’s wielding a hooked stick of graphite with a wicked hundred and thirty-five degree curve at the lower end. And although he’s still got balls like coconuts, his feet are encased in synthetic leather boots with stainless steel blades hammered into their soles. No grassy plain here—just a sheet of ice smooth as Tiger Woods talking a girl out of her panties and a hundred times as slick.
This particular descendant of cavemen is Hamisch Hamlisch, the first line right winger of the Fort McWilliams Fighting Aardvarks hockey team and the owner of the most unfortunate combination of first and last names since Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
Blood on the Ice is available from Audible, iTunes, and Amazon.
