WHISKEY DOWN

COMING SUMMER 2026

Last winter, Winston survived a kill squad, defeated a dangerous magician, and found a place to belong. But survival comes at a cost.

Now it’s summer in Philadelphia, and the weight of his sins is catching up to him. A new werewolf’s first shift leads Winston into the path of something impossible: a creature wearing his face, hunting the people he loves. Vampires want to keep his necromancy in check, or else his life is forfeit. And the fragile world he’s built with Manolo is hanging by a thread, one wrong word from falling apart.

Winston’s still learning how to control his own power. But now he’s got to protect his people, keep the vampires at bay, and stop his own doppelgänger before it destroys everything.

Because this time, it’s not just his survival on the line. It’s everyone he’s fought to keep.

A dark urban fantasy with necromancy, found family, and a MM werewolf romance.

Praise for The Whiskey Squad:

“Outstanding urban fantasy.”

“Wild but weirdly believable…If you like your urban fantasy gritty, queer, full of moral gray zones, and a little feral, don’t sleep on this one.”

“Nicolas Hornyak writes with a gritty modern voice that immediately thrusts you into the action from page 1.”

“Political intrigue, overbearing cops, and queer communities clash in this character-driven adventure with romance at its core.”
