Stay Up All Night: Diverse, dark-humored, and deliciously bite-sized short stories

A piratical pub owner with gold teeth and oily skin, a pocket realm that doesn't play by normal rules, and a drunk man in a business suit who wandered in weeks ago. Asha nurses a fake beer and asks questions that lead her deeper into a supernatural underworld where the currency is ill-gotten and the exits are hard to find.

Chione unconscious on the carpet and a curse still unbroken. To save Nicola, Asha needs the exact spell, the ring, or a killing blow — and the third option is looking more attractive by the minute. But the Grimalkin isn't evil, and neither is Asha. Which means finding that bloody wedding ring just became the only way forward.

A tranquilizer dart and a body going warm and numb. The whippersnapper slings Nicky over his shoulder like a dark fairy tale, and before the asylum doors close behind them, the drug takes her under. When she surfaces, the world has rearranged itself — and not in her favor. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by USA Today bestselling author JT Lawrence.

The solitary confinement door clangs open and a perfect young guard stands in the doorway. Daylight privilege, he says, like an order. Nicky pretends to be grateful for the sunlight, but she's not here to enjoy the view — she's here to plan, and the wilting garden outside tells her she's running out of time. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by...

A leash secured to a stone coffee table, a necklace pocketed as a portal key, and a demand for the specifics of the curse. The Grimalkin laughs, spits blood onto the carpet, and refuses to talk. Asha needs answers. Chione has no reason to give them. Something has to break — and it won't be Asha's resolve. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by USA To...

Shouting behind closed doors. A man in an expensive suit with his tie pulled sideways, fighting for oxygen while arguing with his lover. Asha peers through a small window into a domestic war — and what she sees between Derek and Chione changes everything she thought she knew about the curse. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by USA Today bestselling author...

An hour of training under the apple tree, a long shower, and words that won't stop echoing: kill the curser. Asha pulls herself together and confronts a question that makes her skin crawl — is that what she did in her previous life? Whatever the answer, tonight is good weather for breaking and entering. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by USA Today be...

Asha lies awake, warm and comfortable, while Nicola Landau suffers at Riverside. Guilt and the day's revelations hurtle through her brain. The curse-breaking job isn't the path to peaceful sleep — especially when the mistress turns out to be a mage, and the magic holding Nicola captive is darker than anyone guessed. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audioboo...

Drive around the block. Keep talking. Asha presses the driver for details about Derek Landau — the late nights, the mistress, the closing-time pickups. She doesn't know exactly what she's asking, but the story that tumbles out has a wedding ring at its center and something much darker around the edges. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by USA Today...

A long day getting longer, a thirst no water can slake, and a bartender who knows her order before she sits down. Asha walks into Edison's needing a clear head and a cold beer — because the trail she's following tonight leads deeper into the dark than any martini could prepare her for. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by USA Today bestselling auth...

Every meal delivery, the same question. Finally, an answer: Desolation. It's what the inmates call solitary confinement. Nicky clings to the guard's voice like a lifeline, desperate for conversation after days locked in the dim. In Riverside, even sunlight is a privilege you have to earn.

Goblin City: east Johannesburg, in the ruins of an amusement park abandoned after a rollercoaster left its rails and hurtled into the sky. Asha taps the address into her maps app and rides toward the most chaotic corner of the supernatural world — where goblins trade in portal magic and nothing is quite what it seems. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by U...

Waking in a dark cell that isn't hers, saltwater stinging burned temples, Nicky wonders why death won't take her. She squeezed her eyes shut and cried — then realized she'd left her body during the torture, floating light as air while her skeleton screamed below. Now she's back, and the pain is waiting. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by...

Behind the warm, fragrant restaurant lies a workshop that would make any engineer weep. Clean lines, white light, touch-sensitive storage — nothing like the flagstone-and-fire forge Asha imagined. Ferra's secret lab is where magitech is born, and tonight, the steampunk dwarf is building something that might just save a life. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy aud...

A golden-crusted pie, a glass of cinnacider, and the roaring hearth of the Copper Cog. Asha practically jogs into the pub, hunger and urgency fighting for first place. Ferra's ruddy cheeks glow like embers as she slides food across the bar — because in this found family, nobody fights evil on an empty stomach. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by USA T...

Asha wakes in her own bed with the taste of Catnip Julep still on her tongue and her scooter parked neatly in the driveway. The Grimalkin could have killed her. Instead, she sent her home. Gratitude and suspicion make terrible bedfellows — and Asha has enough information to report the cat to the Council.

No Devka. No food. Physical training on an empty stomach and the constant threat of running into Alison's gang. Nicky pads across her cell, wall to wall, counting steps like prayers. The walking is getting easier, but the living is getting harder — and the line between patient and cadaver grows thinner every day. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by US...

An invitation-only bar, a drink that flies back into its owner's hand without spilling, and a woman who snaps her fingers like she owns the laws of physics. Asha has found the Grimalkin — and she's not interested in small talk. The question of what's being done to Nicola Landau hangs in the air like smoke. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by U...

Twenty-one minutes after Derek staggers through the door, his mistress slips out into the night, eight-inch heels striking the paving in perfect rhythm. Asha watches from the shadows, piecing together a puzzle that stinks of dark magic and marital betrayal. The wraiths aren't just in the building — they're in the bloodline. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy...

A guard bursts into the shower block, baton in one hand, pepper spray in the other. The blood has spilled over the wheelchair and onto the tiles, forming a crimson paint spill on white. She reaches for her radio and calls for help — but the real question isn't what happened. It's whether anyone in this place actually cares. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy...

Five women against one wheelchair. Bolt cutters brandished like a trophy. Nicky backs into the corner with nowhere left to go, and Alison wriggles her fingers as if calling a toddler. What happens next will be measured not in minutes but in the color that spreads across the white tiles. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by USA Today bestselling author JT L...

Exhausted, aching, and soaked in sweat, Nicky decides to bathe herself for the first time since arriving at Riverside. A small act of defiance — of ownership over her own broken body. But in a place where autonomy is the rarest currency, even a bath can cost more than you're willing to pay. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audiobook by USA Today bestselling aut...

A dirty martini, a shimmering metallic dress, and geometric earrings floating beneath freshly styled hair. Asha sits at a polished mahogany bar looking like she belongs — but she's not here for the cocktails. Tonight, the cursebreaker goes undercover, and the shadows she's hunting are wearing better clothes than she is. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast urban fantasy audi...

No Devka. Bad things happen when she's not around. Nicky wheels herself into the corner of her cell, closes her eyes, and tries to breathe the panic away. The burned skin on her temples throbs with the memory of Adrathar's machine. Escape or die — those are the only two options left, and one of them is looking more likely than the other. Cursebreaker Book 1: The Dusk Reapers — a full-cast...

Fourteen hours of sleep and a bitter disappointment at waking up. Nicky lies in the dark wishing for the easy way out, then hauls herself upright and into her wheelchair. If she can't die peacefully, she'll plan her escape violently. But first, she needs to figure out what's watching her from behind those dead black buttons.
