This book is a compendium of horror short stories designed to leave you in a state of wonder, excitement, and horror. I’ve read a lot of horror stories in my life, most notably Steven King and Clive Barker, and this book rivals them. I’ve mentioned this before in an earlier post, about how it dropsContinue reading “Out There Screaming”

Ode to a Chocolate Ball
Dedicated to my sister Marjorie They lie in wait for my gaze to reach them. They hide in the fridge, silent as the night, until, upon the light of the opened door, they make themselves known. Oh foolish me, to think that I could not look at them and wonder. Yet there is no wonder,Continue reading “Ode to a Chocolate Ball”
What was that?!
-What was that?! -Oh, that? I think it was a demon. -A demon?! -Yeah. -What the…What?! -Yeah, I think it’s following me around. -Following you around?! -Yeah. It’s kinda annoying, right? Buster looked half-confused, half-shocked, and half-scared out of his wits. -Ummm, stay away from me! I sensed an evil aura reach for me fromContinue reading “What was that?!”
A wise man once said…pt 2…
To become a better writer you must read books from authors better than you. So I picked up Jordan Peele’s Out There Screaming. And I feel out of my league. This is a collection of short horror stories written by black authors. Each story is a dive into murky waters that twirl you around blindly.Continue reading “A wise man once said…pt 2…”
Snow
I remember the first snow, and all of the first snows. The way the snowflakes drifted down from the sky like feathers, covering everything with powdery whiteness. The quiet, muffled sounds as I fell backwards into it. Watching the fluff rise as I landed and made that first snow angel. I hate the snow. HavingContinue reading “Snow”
Experiment in description #1
It’s 5:30 am and still dark. It’s winter, technically, so the sun hasn’t risen just yet. I say technically because I live in Florida. The only way you know it’s winter are the cold mornings. By afternoon the weather becomes another day of blistering heat. I stepped out of my home for the walk toContinue reading “Experiment in description #1”
A wise man once said…
“If you want to be a good writer read books from authors that are better than you”. So I’ve been reading some good books. Well… I read “To Kill A Mockingbird”. I’m sorry, all of you folks that think that was a great book, I didn’t like it. And here’s a fair warning: There’s lotsContinue reading “A wise man once said…”
Ethan The Traitor
Twas the year 33,584, the month of Adjur, on the 43rd day, that saw Ethan’s Awakening. The Re-cloning Process was complete. Eliminated and repaired were his ailments and injuries. His musculature, organs, nervous system, all returned to a state of newness. The blemishes and scars that made up his life were gone, leaving him aContinue reading “Ethan The Traitor”
Double Occultation!
No, it’s not some double whammy cult thing. It’s about a stellar event that I missed, but it’s not my fault. The fact that I couldn’t see it has vexed me so, but there was nothing for it. Unless you were in orbit looking out a window, gazing at the heavens in a way weContinue reading “Double Occultation!”
Don’t you hate it when…
…you want to enter a writing contest but you’re absolutely blocked, nothing coming to mind, and you really, really, want to enter? Or even worse, when inspiration finally hits, it hits the day before it’s due, and you have to go to work? I hate that so much. So I’ll post it here. Enjoy… SideContinue reading “Don’t you hate it when…”
