The name’s Lobo... Kurt Lobo...
Detective Lobo to you and sometimes it feels like I'm the only damn thing in the city holding back true chaos.
The City?
Hell... the City's all we have left...
A cesspit of crime and loss...
Animal splices and tech I can't even pronounce most days.
49 years ago the mad bastards in the Pyramid broke and burnt our sky...
49 years of EverNight and falling dust...
49 years of wackos and nutjobs...
49 years of blood and sin...
Superheroes and messed up zeros...
And you wonder why I drink so damn much?
The name’s Lobo...
Welcome to Hell.
Detective Kurt Lobo. The wolf-spliced detective is probably one of the most popular characters in the VirulentBlurb universe. Harking back to the pulp noir detectives of the 1940’s and 50’s, Detective Lobo is Mike Hammer with hairy hide, a furry Philip Marlowe. He appears, whether as a major or minor player, in every strand and reality of the books of the Blurb and his gruff, cynical humour is now an instantly recognisable voice in the darkness of the City’s neon splashed night.
Pack Mentality is the last of a four-part Virulent ChapBook set that started with the superhero inmates of The Copper Cascade, before going back to where it all began in Out of Phaze and adding a splash of poetry with #KillAllPoets. This time we venture onto the gritty streets of the City itself, gathering three short stories – one each from Lobo, his younger brother Lyca and a short report from his police partner Officer Geldof – alongside a taste of something yet to come that will have fans howling for more.
Contains strong language and violence. Much like Lobo himself then.
Pack Mentality is available in paperback and for Kindle on Amazon
