Chiaroscuro: The Mouse and the Candle
Matthew S Cox
God’s will be done.After eleven years as a priest living by these words, Father Antonio Molinari never imagined who would teach his strongest lesson of faith-a vampire.As a member of a secret order within the Vatican, he investigates and debunks supernatural events. A case of possession brings him to the French countryside, where two local clergy offer him the chance of a lifetime. They claim to have captured a vampire, and beg his expertise in helping them study the fiend.When their monster turns out to be a little girl, cursed to spend eternity hiding from the sun, he cannot bring himself to destroy her. The priests, mistaking his compassion for diabolism, panic, and his efforts to protect an innocent child prove fatal.He awakes caught between light and darkness.Hunted by the Church he once served as well as the fiends he once destroyed, Father Molinari clings to his faith there is still room for him in God’s plan.But God is quiet, and the darkness tempting.
