Saturday Night Special

"Saturday Night Special" by Thom Brannan is a guest story in Rob Pegler's The Book of Falling.

This story introduces Corinna MacManus. In it, she wins a trip to Roseburg and ends up sharing a room with the other contest winner, a girl named Morgana.

A boring day in the city is followed by a harrowing night, as Corinna is thrust into The Chase, a celebration/fesitval held by the vampires of the city, where she is the quarry.

Along the way, she stumbles into a warehouse and picks up a piece of broken wood. Something about it calms her, so she keeps it.

Later, she is captured by the vampires, as is Gabriel Pope, for whom The Chase was a lure and a trap.

Corinna will also appear in the upcoming story "At Dawn They Sleep."
