About this series
Sometimes, being left to your own devices isn’t a good thing.
Being mysterious and having fun are two things Rag cannot resist, especially when Bones isn’t around to tell him what to do.
Pretending to be a ghost, he uncovers a secret that’s been hidden for a long time.
Lives change when Rag’s around, and not always for the better.
This short story is part of The Rag & Bones Vampire Series world and takes place before the main series of novels.

Friends don’t always agree. Rag goes on a big night out, but it doesn’t go as planned. The bouncer won’t let him into the nightclub and when he does eventually get to the dance floor, not everyone is pleased by the way he acts — they’re not keen on his feeding habits. Nothing new, then. Bones to the rescue. Again. But this time, it’s not all bad. Sometimes, you can’t fight the powers of attraction — he’s bitten hard — and you have no desire to heed the warnings of your best friend. Relationships can be difficult, especially those that have lasted a century. This short story is part of The Rag & Bones Vampire Series world and takes place before the main series of novels.

Having morals isn’t just for humans. World War II and Rag and Bones are in the thick of it, hiding underground in the London sewers, while bombs rain down above them. Bones doesn’t want to hide anymore. He wants to help. Not your typical vampire behaviour, but then, he’s not a typical vampire. He knows it’s a risk to show his face above ground and not just because of the bombing, but because he looks like a young, fit man who should be on the front line. And sometimes, you have to stand up for what you believe in, even if it puts you at odds with your best friend, because without human blood, surviving as a vampire is a short-term prospect. This short story is part of The Rag & Bones Vampire Series world and takes place before the main series of novels.

New Year’s Eve — that’s a night of excesses, isn’t it? It's New Year's Eve and Rag has to make a big decision, or as humans call it, a resolution. If he wants to remain friends with Bones, he has to change the way he acts. Can he really give up feeding on any human who takes his fancy, or is the lure of fresh blood too strong? This short story is part of The Rag & Bones Vampire Series world and takes place before the main series of novels.
