Fresh Ink by John T Fuller


An unusual story of a stranger that comes to town and finds the supernatural is not necessarily a secret. Chant's intention to just pass through may be derailed by a special tattoo artist.


From the Fresh Ink blurb:

The West Coast of America, 1995. Chant has just arrived in town from England, running from something he's not sharing. When he lands an unusual job at a local tattoo parlour, The Blue Comet, it seems like perhaps he's finally found a place to call home, people to call family, and maybe even love with the artist with the big dark eyes and black curls. But everyone has their secrets, and Chant is about to learn just what those secrets are, and how they are connected to what lurks in the catacombs beneath the sunny seaside city of Santa Ines.

Fresh Ink is an urban horror-fantasy m/m romance. Available in two editions - high spice (explicit) and mild spice (fade to black) - this is a gay love story that is guaranteed to sink its teeth into you!


SNik's review:

Standalone novella. Paranormal urban fantasy. Single POV. Heed content warnings. Available in mild or high spice versions. 

In a new town, meeting new people, Chant enters a tattoo parlor in order to earn some money in an unusual way. As one of the tattoo artists catches his eye, Chant slowly becomes more involved with the shop and the people there than he ever wanted. An unusual story with not a ton of background for any of the characters given it is a novella, it was still well written and interesting enough to keep the pages turning. Definitely a spooky story with a side of romance, once Chant and Manny do agree to start a relationship they are sweet and hopefully find a way to stay together to find an HEA as the story is more HFN.


Fresh Ink is currently available as a paperback
