Blackwarren Reads: Samhain Secrets - "The Kit Gloves Are Off", by Chris Shaffer (Part 1)

Shout out to the Goblins out there! Blackwarren Reads returns with the publisher's debut anthology, Samhain Secrets: World Premiere. In the Argent City, where supernatural creatures like dragons, fae, and tricksters live alongside blissfully unaware humanity, Halloween Night remains the craziest night of the year. A dragon who would be king struggles to establish his identity and find his passion in hosting a popular radio show, while the wily Kitsune seek to unmask a conspiracy against the feuding Tricksters of the City, where anyone could be the culprit. Across the City, a pair of Fae entrepreneurs stake their future on cleansing a murder site for the police, but a nosy Brownie can't accept the given cause of death and suspects murder. And finally, a hopeful actress takes a chance at scoring the lead in the reboot of a much-beloved vampire action series, only to find the audition process far more bizarre, and deadly, than even the most committed actor would expect. We resume with "The Kit Gloves Are Off", by Chris Shaffer, and the kitsune protagonist Makoto "Mac" Minocci, journeyman trickster, and protege of Shiko Akimura, demon hunter, and de facto leader of the Foxes of the Argent City. Halloween is no reason to stop feuding clans of rogues, swindlers, and charlatans from targeting each other, but tonight's trick seems closer to starting a war...
