In Sprite of Herself

Extracting a tooth fairy.

The crested mouth sprite, better known as the tooth fairy to non-cryptozoologists, has almost never been spotted by humans. The exchange of cash for a baby tooth beneath a sleeping child's pillow is the primary evidence we have that they exist.

Leave it to a drunken Florida Man to blow away the creature with a shotgun in his young son's room. There'd better be additional tooth fairies in the wild, or this means no more moolah for molars.

You know what's coming next, right? Yep, the Friends of Cryptids Society demands that I, humble witch and botanica co-owner, search for another crested mouth sprite and monitor the species' population.

Sure, no problem. Until the Florida Man meets his demise, additional bodies begin dropping, and the police suspect Matt is responsible.

All the while, I learn that tooth fairies are a lot more complicated than we thought.

Welcome to Jellyfish Beach, a wacky world of murder, magic, and mayhem.
