Synopsis:

Legend of the Chupacabra finds Jessie and Suzanne living peacefully in Portland, Oregon six years after they believed to have put an end to the curse of the chupacabra. But the women come to learn of their failure, and the futility of their sacrifices, when a remarkable reunion brings horror back into their lives; only this time, what they face will be unlike any creature they’ve encountered. Legend of the Chupacabra marks the end of a trilogy, but the continuation of a saga that will leave this moment of history drenched in blood.

Earlier this year, Hebler’s first volume in his Chupacabra Series, Night of the Chupacabra, earned him top honors in the category of “Horror” from the National Indie Excellence Awards. The NIEA was founded by Ellen Reid, the current President and CEO. Reid comments, “The awards celebrate the best of books in print, and represent a diverse group of first-time authors and seasoned authors.” Hebler was extremely honored to have received such extraordinary recognition for a story that had lived within his mind and heart for 20 years before its 2012 release.

In reference to Legend of the Chupacabra, Hebler hopes his fans and readers will enjoy their reunion with Jessie and Suzanne. There is no shortage of action, mystery, humor, drama, romance, or, of course, horror. And as usual, there are surprises around every turn. “I’m especially excited about including a little piece of Oregon’s scandalous history with the Portland underground,” states Hebler. “I think that particular element rivals the callousness of the chupacabra itself and examines the similarities between monster and man.”

In addition to the release of Legend of the Chupacabra in trade paperback and eBook on July 29, 2014, Hebler will also release an audiobook of his reading, which will accompany the release of the audiobooks of the first two series novels, Night of the Chupacabra and Curse of the Chupacabra.

EXCERPT:

Blood poured out of the chief’s wound, cueing the squaws to form a ceremonious line at Eagle Claw’s feet. With their jars ready, each dancing warrior paired with a woman. It was Raven Child and Mighty Wind who were the first to concoct the sacrificial mixture. Raven Child caught Eagle Claw’s blood with her jar, while Mighty Wind poured the mountain goat’s blood out of the beast’s skull into the same, creating a broth that Eagle Claw lifted into the air, once ready. He presented the bequest to the spirits, calling the goat spirit forth with the offering of its own powers of agility and energy joined with his powers as chief, and then spouted, “Goat, I give sacrifice for your wisdom.”

Eagle Claw took a sip from the jar and swallowed. He, then, poured the rest of the contents into the fire.

Storm Cloud stood at the edge of the platform. He gazed down at the flames still flipping about as the burning mixture sizzled and sparked.

With bated breath, everybody watched to see if the goat spirit had been properly deceived. Eagle Claw did exactly as instructed by Atraco. The Pniese’s instructions were to simply ask the spirits for their wisdom and protection; making sure to keep all truth from them. Deceit from a heart filled with rage and hatred was the only way to conjure revenge; the requests for help needing to be as treacherous as the act of revenge itself. The one responsible for Loud Fire’s death would suffer mercilessly before dying.

The strength of the fire changed; the flames whipped about like a blistering weapon, and the escaping smoke blackened. It was happening; the goat spirit had been fooled into accepting the offering.

Storm Cloud continued to gaze over the edge as the thick smoke began to take the shape of a mountain goat. It rose into the air–as common smoke would–but gave the illusion of the goat charging towards him. Once he and the entity met, Storm Cloud took a deep breath and inhaled the smoldering spirit. The moment the possessed fumes filled his lungs, it took every ounce of self-restraint to suppress his urge to cough, but Atraco had warned him ahead of time of this egregious mistake as it would release the spirit back into the universe, never to return. He only needed to wait a short time before the smoke spirit would find its path and seep into his body like a cancer; and the old Pniese had been right. He could feel his need subside as the spirit began to take control.

The moment the smoke spirit had been born, the black stallion became restless. He and Tree Cradle had lived most of their years together, and she thought of Black Wild as family, as he did the same of her. So it was with considerable ease that she was able to calm her four-legged brother by stroking his elongated nose and looking him in the eye to let him know all would be fine.

Tree Cradle twisted her head back to the ritual, saw that the smoke spirit was gone, and Storm Cloud’s body was beginning to relax. She wondered if Black Wild would continue to listen to her when the next eight spirits were called.

Water Stone and Talking Bear were next. As before, Eagle Claw’s blood seeped into the jar while Talking Bear poured the blood from his bear’s head.

Eagle Claw lifted the jar containing the powers of defense and transformation, calling to the bear spirit, “Bear, I give sacrifice for your wisdom.”

He swallowed a single mouthful of the blood mixture then threw the remainder into the fire. Again, the blood spoke as it burned and the waves of the flames grew more intense.

Storm Cloud readied himself, now with the understanding of what was to come next should the bear spirit accept the offering.

It did.

The flames released another cloud of smoke that transformed into an earthly bear. Once more, the spirit rose towards the sky, charging at Storm Cloud as though he were its prey, only to be sucked into the young man’s body with one long breath.

Tree Cradle had guessed correctly; Black Wild did not like the bear spirit’s summoning, and he had not been as easy to tame the second time, but they both would have to endure since they were bound and could not leave. Each had a purpose for being there, as the wandering shaman had previously inculcated.

MY REVIEW

In this third book in the Chupacabra series, you once again follow Suzanne and Jessie . It’s been six years since they killed the chupacabra and broke the curse. Or did they?

Suzanne seems to be settling down in Portland, believing things will be better now. Jessie, on the other hand, is her own worst enemy. She’s as sassy and quick to fly off the handle as ever. Even though she works in a rough and tumble saloon, she’s still expected to cater to the customers and is often mistaken for something other than a server, and she makes the poor sap pay for that mistake, often painfully.

The owner would like her to be more than a server, the bartender creeps her out with his puppy dog drooling, and a handsome young stranger sets her nerves on edge. He seems to enjoy it when she fights of the groping hands and off-color comments of the patrons. Just who is he?

It isn’t noticeable at first, the men disappearing, because they’re strangers.  But then some local men disappear too and this sets off Jessie’s radar. Could it be the chupacabra? Did they kill it? Is it another one? Or is it something else?

The author excels at putting his characters in new and stranger situations. There are some new nasty characters to despise, which I always like, as they can be used as fodder for the chupacabra. But the chup isn’t selective, and likes his blood from good or evil people.

Maturing his characters, having their personalities change after each new encounter with the chupacabra, is another area Michael excels at. Especially with Jessie, as she’s gone from a young girl to a young woman. He did leave her as feisty and fearless as before, allowing me to savor her victories, worry when she lands in tight spots, and hope she’ll finally let someone get close to her.

Even the chupacabra is different, like it’s evolved, become even more evil and cunning. It likes to play with its food, and it’s always hungry. Which gives you some excellent scenes of bloody mayhem.

I was attracted to this series because of the chupacabra. Curious about the legend, and of course, its bloody path through the book.. Then I became attached to the characters and, with each new book, I looked forward to seeing what new mystery the author put them in. What, besides the chupacabra, they had to deal with.

It’s never dull, no stumbling through slow parts, as there aren’t any, and Legend of the Chupacabra leaves you hungry for more. Just like the chupacabra.

legend 1 Night of the Chupacabra

Click HERE for my review.

There is a creature that lurks in the vast open deserts of the west. It can only survive on blood and, although it prefers to prey on the weak and young, it will slaughter anyone or anything, once provoked. It is unnatural, deceptive, and difficult to kill. Word about the existence of this elusive beast has not spread since anyone who has crossed paths with it did not live long enough to tell of their account.

In the Chupacabra Series, a vampire-like, cryptozoological creature (which literally translates to “goat-sucker”) takes a supporting role to a cast of memorable characters who struggle to survive while finding their place in developing America. Currently slated for six books, the Chupacabra Series echoes strong family themes and the sacrifices required for that nature of love; and while some characters do survive long enough to make it through multiple novels, each volume will host a different protagonist to lead the reader through its continuing journey.

They never thought their luck would be their curse. In the months following the onslaught, the extraordinary survivors continue to know no peace, as they are haunted by signs that the relentless creature remains on their trail. However, this fight will be better matched, now that they’ve discovered an advantage that will help protect them from the monster’s bloodthirsty lust. But once faced with the decision to kill the beast, the choice will not come lightly since it is still unclear which loved one the chupacabra possesses.

Hi Michael. It’s great to have you back on my blog to talk about your Chupacabra series.

Shall we begin?

Let’s do it!

 

1) As far back as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by creatures. Why did you choose the Chupacabra for your monster?

Although creatures fascinate me as well, the Chupacabra Series was not only meant to be a single story, but there were no creatures. When I first began writing what is known today as “Night of the Chupacabra,” it was the furthest thing from the end result. First of all, it wasn’t prose but a screenplay called, “Dark Sunrise” about a serial killer in an Old West town. Think “Unforgiven” meets “Silence of the Lambs.” The comparison is more than adequate since it was the early 1990’s when I thought of the idea. About four or five years later, the serial killer was exchanged for a creature. I don’t exactly remember why, I think the element of mythology intrigued me more. But even then it wasn’t a chupacabra. The chupacabra came after watching an episode of “The X-Files.” The similarities between my creature and the chupacabra were shocking, so I made another switch.

 

2) Did you follow the rules for the myth of the chupacabra, or did you make up some of your own?

Mostly… yes. Because in all actuality, there really are no rules for this thing. I did do some research after watching that “X-Files” episode and could find very little. All I knew was that it drank the blood of children and animals mostly. It never explained why that was. I just presumed it was either because they were easier prey, or the stories of the chupacabra were meant to be scary bedtime stories. Also, nobody could explain exactly what it was or what it looked like. Some said it had wings, others didn’t. Some said it was the nuclear mutation of a wolf or a dog, others thought aliens left their pet Fido behind. There was even one theory that said it came from Rome, Italy when explorers discovered South America. So I decided enough was enough, and I would write something of an origin story. Besides, my heart was set on doing a western-horror. However, for all you die hard chuppie fans, definitely be on the watch for Book V, “Return of the Chupacabra,” I think you’ll be pleased with the progression of the mythology as the series leaps into the 1990’s.

 

3) Obviously, people will die when the chupacabra gets too close. Did you write in special characters for the killings or did the chupacabra have a mind of its own and kill off characters you hadn’t planned on?

Character and plot always come first. It’s their world, not the chupacabra’s. I never write in a character to kill him/her. In any one of these novels, when it comes time to decide whether to kill someone, I ask myself: Is this necessary for the plot (both book plot and series plot)? Sometimes the answer is as simple as that character has served its purpose and is just in the way (as was the case with the actress, Evelyn Diamond in Book II), sometimes his/her death is a catalyst for an event, or sometimes it’s a necessity to guide the protagonist on his/her path. There is one particular death in “Legend of the Chupacabra” that I mulled over and over, ultimately deciding that the character’s dying wish was needed to help the protagonist overcome her foolishness about a decision by the end of the story.

 

4) Why did you choose to have the story take place in the old west?

Yes, this story and the previous two books take place in the Old West, but as I hinted, the entire saga does not stay there. In fact, after [Legend], I’m pretty much done with that era. Book IV, “Dawn of the Chupacabra” will be a prequel to this trilogy (think “The Hobbit” to “The Lord of the Rings”) and it will begin during the final year of the Civil War. The “Old West” did not occur until after the war was over. That’s when settlers began heading towards California. However, there will be some hints of its start, and you might even come across a familiar face or two when they were younger. And as I mentioned, Book V, [Return] is the 1990’s.

 

5) What do you hope readers will take away with them after reading Legend of the Chupacabra?

There are two constant themes that run through this entire series: The importance of family, and Man can be just as much of a monster. I hope that is clear.

 

6) Now that you’ve finished writing Legend, are you on to something new or will you be writing more of that world? And would you care to share with us?

Of course I’ll share! I’m in a very sharing mood.  I am tackling two stories at once, which is something I’ve never done before and will never do again. While I write the first draft of “Dawn of the Chupacabra,” I’m rewriting a novella that is due later in the year on October 7 called, “The Ghost of Christmas Past,” which is about the notorious Dickens’ character that is given a past of its own and is made to journey through its afterlife, as well as it’s mortal life, while aiding a very troubled woman on Christmas Eve. This novella is more of a literary turn for me, and although it’s not horror, it is still dark fiction and filled with the paranormal obviously. I am very excited about it and hope to honor Dickens’ classic, “A Christmas Carol,” which is one of my all-time favorite stories.

 

Thanks so much for answering my questions Michael. I look forward to having you back for my review of Legend of the Chupacabra.

Thank you, Laura for inviting me back. It’s always a blast. Let’s do it again soon! Maybe sometime around October 7th?

Great tease Michael. Can’t wait!
