Besieged: Book Nine of The Iron Druid Chronicles (Short Stories)

The ancient gods are alive and well in the modern world in this hilarious, action-packed collection of original short stories featuring Atticus Oâ€™Sullivan, the two-thousand-year-old Irishman from Kevin Hearneâ€™s New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles.

â€¢ In ancient Egypt, Atticus agrees to raid a secret chamber underneath the library of Alexandria, dodging deadly traps, only to learn that on-site security includes two members of the Egyptian pantheon.Â
â€¢ At a Kansas carnival, fun and games turns to murder and mayhem, thanks to soul-snatching demons and flesh-craving ghouls luring visitors into an all-too-real house of horrors.Â
â€¢ Verily, in olde England, striking up a friendship with William Shakespeare lands both Atticus and the Bard in boiling hot water with a trio of infamous witches.Â
â€¢ During the Gold Rush, the avatar of greed himself turns the streets of San Francisco red with blood and upsets the elemental Sequoia. Atticus may have to fight fire with fire if heâ€™s going to restore balance.

More, you say? Indeed there isâ€”including bogeymen, vampire hordes, wrathful wraiths, and even a journey to the realm of the dead. Prepare to be besieged with nine tantalizing talesâ€”not to be missed, never to be forgotten.
