Hell’s Half-Acre 1: Past Due
Seven sheriffs. Six of them in the ground. A town behind on what it owes the thing underneath it, and the Tallyman comes Thursday.
★ Out now · released July 26, 2026About the Book
Gray Dunn’s running from his job as a repo man. And now something beneath the town’s trying to repossess him!
Gray took on the sheriff’s job off a truck-stop corkboard. The ad said "housing provided," which was what he needed, but he signed the contract without reading it, which was the stupidest thing he’d ever done (and this is a man who once repossessed an above-ground pool). It turns out, though, that Pleasant Bottom’s a dying Ohio town built over a hellhole called the Sump.
The town’s a long way behind what it owes those below. And a collector is coming Thursday…
Gray’s new tin star turns out to be a credit line. It prices his Standing and it won’t let him read his own damn contract until someone will back him. That means Gray has eleven dollars, a dead man’s shotgun and about two days to save the town.
What he also has is an under-sheriff, Mira, who’s a dhampir who dug the graves for the last six slaughtered sheriffs herself. Mercy runs the all-night diner, turns once a month, and still carries the scar from where the last collector took its cut. And out at the strip mall there’s Renée, a necromancer who’s been sitting on the Sump’s lid since the sixties.
There’s six pegs on the office wall. Five of them have coats on. Gray’s worried his is going to be the sixth.
Still, he’s available immediately. And will hit things for cash.
Inside: a small-town siege on a ticking clock, a soft LitRPG system that runs on credit and standing instead of stat blocks, monster girls, a harem that only ever grows, and no NTR.
