Greg Sisco is the author of the following books, all of which are available in paperback and digital from Amazon.

Something’s Gotta Kill You (2026)

Greg Sisco's first collection of short stories includes 18 dark tales ranging from scary to satirical and from hopeful to heartbreaking, but always from the darkest corridors of the human heart.

Here you'll find a haunted film in an old-timey movie house ("Summers with Annie"), a quaint Christmas village guarding a morbid secret ("The Morbs"), a brutal crime in an otherworldly hotel ("The 4th Floor"), smugly intellectual parasites possessing a college campus ("The Pest Nest"), a chef who treats bad reviews as personal affronts ("Everyone's a Critic"), and a society governed by an artificial being ("The God App"), as well as a dozen other sinister stories.

From spirits and monsters to real-world terrors,
Something's Gotta Kill You pokes and prods at the subject of mortality with many styles and tones, but always circles back to one idea: We are here. For now. And that will have to do.

Gunslinger, P.I. (2013)

A PRESENT-DAY WESTERN DETECTIVE STORY WITH VIOLENCE, SEX, AND A TALKING CAR

His name is Garret Gallagher, but don’t call him that or he’ll shoot you in a particularly uncomfortable appendage. Every thug and criminal in Scud City knows him as Gunslinger. They say he traveled through time from the Old West. They say he drives a talking car. They say for five grand he can solve any murder in forty-eight hours.

As it happens, everything they say is true.

Gunslinger, P.I. follows five days in Gunslinger’s life. Hired by an allegedly Irish gangster to investigate a particularly suspicious murder, Gunslinger navigates a rocky relationship with his talking car girlfriend, lusts over a foul-mouthed femme fatale, butts heads with a twenty-first century cowboy wannabe, plays Russian Roulette with an idiot, and seeks out revenge on anyone who lies to him – which happens to be pretty much everybody.

A darkly comic murder mystery at its heart, 'Gunslinger, P.I.' blends Western and noir with touches of fantasy, science fiction, and romance for a one-of-a-kind, mile-a-minute ride at the hands of a crass, madman antihero with no regard for the reader’s comfort level.

The Wages of Sin (2013)

“THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH”

No female vampires. No half breeds. No bonds with humans. For as long as vampires have owned the night, this has been the law. And even after a thousand years of Brotherhood, some vampires are willing to kill each other to keep these laws sacred.

In the follow-up to the bestselling Thicker Than Water, the Blood Brothers are placed at odds once again when a vicious former cop finds the body of his daughter bled dry and swears revenge on Thor. With Tyr’s human girlfriend locked in their house and Loki publicly proclaiming his heritage on stage at his club, everyone is playing with fire, and things are about to spiral out of control on a level they never have before.

Set in Las Vegas in the days immediately following Thicker Than Water, The Wages of Sin ups the ante in terms of blood, sex, and bad behavior.

Welcome back to Sin City. Welcome back to Blood Brothers.

One-Night Stan’s (2011)

WELCOME TO SCUD CITY -- THE WORST TOWN IN AMERICA

Scud is the kind of cesspool that's heaven if you want good drugs, dirty sex, and a nightly brush with death, and hell if you want anything else. And of all the decaying brothels and meth-spas in the city of dead dreams, One-Night Stan's is the last place any distinguished human would set foot, the kind of sleazy strip club where the floors are linoleum, the air is cigarette smoke, and the night isn't over till somebody's a corpse.

Over the course of one excruciatingly long night, two college students stumble across an orange duffel bag stuffed with hundred-dollar bills and they find themselves the target of a coke-fueled night club owner, a vicious nymphomaniac stripper who gets her jollies slicing extremities off others with a butterfly knife, and a Russian bouncer who once ripped a man in half "the long way." As their wild night goes progressively off the rails, their paths cross with an unprofessional and strangely hostile FBI agent who has arrived in town on the trail of a serial killer--a serial killer who has been carving up dancers on a cross country tour of seedy strip joints, but who may have just stumbled into the wrong club.

Thicker Than Water (2011)

NOT YOUR TEENAGE SISTER'S VAMPIRES

Tyr and Loki are the kind of vampires who live for their own pleasure, not yours. They feel no remorse. They view human beings as livestock or sex objects. And after a thousand years of sex and destruction seducing and murdering the prettiest girls in the room, they have become two of the most diabolical serial killers of all time.

But following a violent feud that separates the brothers for over a decade, Tyr hides himself away in a house on the outskirts of Las Vegas where he falls in love with a terminally ill young woman named Eva, an act deemed punishable by death by the fabled vampire council known as The Chosen.

When a mysterious messenger arrives at his home, Tyr fears both Loki and The Chosen have tracked him down, forcing him to protect both himself and the dying young woman who is teaching him to feel.

Thicker Than Water is a vampire thriller focusing on 100 years of immortal, hedonistic life, from the slummy brothels of the American Wild West to the bright lights of Las Vegas circa 1999. The story weaves together vampires, brothel owners, cowboys, prostitutes, and gallons of innocent blood in an orgy of violence, sex, revenge, romance, betrayal, and brotherly love.
