A Girl's Gotta Eat: Suffering Sequence: Book One (Old Black Water Preview Edition)

What does a young woman do with the bucket of hate she carries around from her abusive childhood? Lucy is about to find out. What does a man do when his faith in the security of his nation crumbles? FBI Special Agent Javier Torres is about to find out. And when shape-shifting, man-eating daemons are revealed to exist, who does the succubus called "Vespid" feed on? The rich and poor alike find out, because sometimes a girl's gotta eat. "A Girl’s Gotta Eat is the first of a trilogy of novels from the pen of Elizabeth Lynn Blackson. It’s a fast-paced, roller coaster ride that will thrill fans of The X-files and the Harry Dresden novels. Filled with memorable characters and moments of horror, this book remain in your head long after the final page has been read." - Stephen Osborne - Author of the Duncan Andrews Thrillers series. "In all honesty, I'm very proud to be publishing this book. It's one of the best I've read in a while, and I'm proud to be getting it out into the world for others to experience it." - Gary Hill - Tales of Wonder and Dread Publisher and author of "The Homestead" and more. "This book is about a succubus and how two very different people have two very different reactions to her existence...It’s about the path to hell that’s paved with best intentions. It’s about poverty and property values. It’s about racism in St. Louis. It’s about being LGBT. It’s about art through the eyes of an underclass young woman. It’s about guns and blood, and splintered bones....Except, it’s not. The truth is, this book is about trauma. It’s about the horrible things some people have to do to survive. It’s about fighting demons, figurative and literal. It’s about finding self worth." - Elizabeth Lynn Blackson Content Warning This book includes: • Explicit Language • Graphic Violence • Human Trafficking • Sexual Assault • Childhood Trauma • Mild Racial Tension • LGBTQ+ themes The expanded Old Black Water Preview edition features a new cover by the author and the first chapter of the second book in the series, "Old Black Water."
