📝 Description: Bat Blood III - Resurgence

Richard I Myerscough continues his Bat Blood series with this third installment, Resurgence. The narrative picks up directly after the events of The Devil's Claw and weaves in elements from Unshackled Demons. It follows a small group of resilient hybrid creatures who challenge the status quo of human dominance. These beings view themselves as intelligent entities with a right to exist, rather than mere monsters. To them, humans are simply animals that can be killed or eaten without moral consequence. The story examines the conflict between these immortalized hybrids and humanity's vast resources. While the creatures face overwhelming odds against a species with such power, their survival remains uncertain. Myerscough explores the psychological and physical plight of beings who have transcended normal mortality but remain hunted. The text focuses on their perspective, framing man as prey rather than predator in this inverted hierarchy. This approach offers a distinct take on supernatural fiction by shifting the victimhood dynamic. Readers interested in dark fantasy and creature features will find this engaging. Those seeking traditional hero narratives may find the protagonist alignment unsettling. The book suits fans of Myerscough’s previous works who want to follow the ongoing saga. It does not appeal to readers who prefer lighthearted supernatural tales or stories where humans remain the undisputed apex predators.
