Fact and Fiction collide in the title story as an author struggles to write a tale that has been eating him alive for the past decade. From a ravaged landscape where the dead walk the Earth to the tortured mind of the author, nothing is what it seems in this page-turner.
Deacon, the title story will leave you breathless, wondering "What TF did I just read?"

In
Golden Years a convalescing woman has a dark secret to share with her granddaughter. What is the key to Bea's unspeakable longevity? Wendy will soon find out, whether she wants to or not.

Encounter. John soon discovers the dark side of the Play Store and the shadows lurking within.

When three friends decide to explore
Jungle Habitat, a forgotten safari park that has been abandoned for decades, they discover more than they ever bargained for and learn that some secrets are best left to rest.

Imagine a world without color, where only the rarest, most valuable items are Hued.
The Golden Scarab explores such a possibility in a very Tomb Raideresque way. What lies in the antechamber below the great pyramid? Unearth the secrets and travel back in time to ancient Egypt where Queen Hatshepsut ruled the land.

It's Christmastime in Angel City. But times are tough for Travis. He's broke, has no job, and to make things worse, everywhere he looks there's holiday cheer. It all reminds him of when he was five, and the terrible things that happened that day in the department store ... the day he met Santa. But an unlikely encounter might just give Travis the second chance he needs,
Tis the Season after all.

In
Dead Fall Edgar Walsh has lost his edge. Living alone in New Hampshire, he has lived off the land since returning home from the war in Vietnam. But the demons he brought back are eating him alive. Consumed by the bottle, as well as his darkest secrets, Edgar finds himself in a most desperate situation.

The stories in this collection are all-out Horror, through and through. Tales of desperation of both the human and supernatural variety. Many of the demons wedged between the pages are a few of my own. I thought I'd take them out and share them with you. Enjoy.
