A Halloween urban fantasy written to be humorous and entertaining, like Halloween itself.
It is Halloween and demons are invading West Hollywood’s Carnival. Also known as the Parade, it is the largest Halloween event in the world. The Bikini Girls, a team of bikini models and part-time crime fighters, are summoned to investigate and fight the demons. More spoof than spooky, the story is a treat with a few tricks and a fireworks show thrown in to make for a good Halloween read.

Excerpt
The ground shook. “Quake.” Someone yelled. Heads bobbed in assent, but no one was deterred, no one panicked, this was Los Angeles and no one was going to miss the Halloween Carnival, just getting underway.
No one dancing on the pulsating human heart stage missed a step, although a few of the dancers staggered a bit. Red veins and blue arteries strobed to a hip hop beat as a witch’s cauldron of creatures of the night danced the voodoo polka, sparklers in hand.
And so it began. A four block long stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard filled with vampires and werewolves, bipedal aliens, superheroes, dancing bears, and cuddly pink bunnies. Bewigged Napoleon’s marched hand in hand with Roman emperors, and cyborgs walked with surfer dudes and gunslingers in g-strings. There were Little Red Riding Hoods and a drugged Little Bo Peep, chatting to imaginary sheep. And that was just the beginning. Denizens of the Carnival sought originality. The preponderance of costumes were expressive and nonrepresentational, signifying nothing about any fictional or existential reality, unless you count painted bare breasts—always a lovely sight. Some costumes were vaguely suggestive of a theme, and some were simply suggestive: mate bait. Others were outré couture, or just plain weird, but what the hell, it was Halloween, everything was allowed, and gawkers outnumbered costumed partiers by a nontrivial margin, anyway.
