“Scrooged” is a one-shot set in the “Gift Horse” world.  It is the second in what I hope will become a series of one-shots.  Will Eric get to kill Bill?  Or is Bill right to believe that his allies, Freyda and Felipe, will rescue him?  And how will a phone call from Sookie change everything for both Eric and Bill? 

Story 4 of the Gift Horse Series—Now that Eric has eliminated Freyda, can he reach Sookie before her child is born? And—is Pam really going to try to channel a Lamaze partner for Sookie? What could possibly go wrong with that? (Must reads: "Gift Horse," "Scrooged," and "Black Christmas.")

(Interlude—Part 6 of the Gift Horse Series—Set in Sweden)  Eric and Sookie—along with Thalia, Karin, Pam, and Sookie’s children—travel to Sweden, seeking refuge from the lingering threat of Felipe de Castro. There, they will encounter new allies, including Olaf (Thalia’s vampire sibling who is mentioned in “Scrooged”) and Ricca (a beautiful witch who will capture the attention of one of Eric’s vampire children).
