Midnight Mayor – Published Today!

‘Don’t give me all this hokum about the Midnight Mayor.  You tell me there’s a man who is the chosen protector of the city?  Who cannot die so long as the idea of the city exists, who carries burnt into his flesh the mark of the city and hears the dreams of the stones themselves?  You seriously want me to believe that the Midnight Mayor is real and out there in the night keeping us safe from all the big nasties that are going to gobble us up, then the first thing you should do is tell me what these nasties are that I need so much protecting from.
