- Digital — $2.99
- Paperback — $9.99
No one told Moorehead policing came with bloodsuckers, body snatchers, and a deeply personal crisis in a cop's uniform.
Back on the alien relocation express, Moorehead wakes up mid-patrol, confused, armed, and disturbingly called “B.J.” His new life as a rookie cop—inside someone else’s body, no less—is made worse by cryptic coworkers, a headache from hell, and the terrifying realisation that this isn’t just any ordinary beat. From bizarre traffic stops with suspicious stoners named Mary and Jane, to a terrified man whose twitchy ramblings lead them to 48 Gallows Street, Moorehead is once again neck-deep in strange. But nothing prepares him—or his poor, misfiring anatomy—for what waits inside a crumbling, boarded-up house on the edge of town.
As the bodies pile up and something far worse than drugs emerges from the darkness, Moorehead must overcome his own fear and find a way to fight what might just be a real-life monster. With nothing but a dodgy flashlight, a splintered stick, and questionable backup, he’s got one shot to survive.
Irreverent, hilarious, and genuinely horrifying, Moorehead on the Beat continues the twisted series with a cop-horror fusion of gallows humour, gallows addresses, and very literal gallows endings.
