The Return of Three Part Flash Fiction!

“If you do that, more will come.” Herbert with his usual cautiousness.  “We need this to work, or we won’t have water”. “But do you have to be so loud?”  He had a point. If the end of the world has a point. Maybe best to be found and eaten. It’s over, that’s what heContinue reading “The Return of Three Part Flash Fiction!”

The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker

Did you ever read a book that was so good you wanted to re-read it immediately? I’ve been a Clive Barker fan way back. I’ve read his Books of Blood, Imajica, Weaveworld, and countless others. I never read The Hellbound Heart until recently, and now I’m wondering what was I thinking. This is the bookContinue reading “The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker”

A long time ago…

…I read Clive Barker’s Books of Blood. Such a long time ago. I was a mere babe at the time, so young, so new. Sure, I read my share of Stephen King and other horror writers that I can’t recall right now. But nothing prepared me for Clive Barker (sorry Stephen). As luck would haveContinue reading “A long time ago…”

Out There Screaming

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.

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…”

Keeping the momentum going!

I’m still writing, and still adding to this blog, dammit! Sometimes it’s hard as I sit here staring at a blank page, wondering what I should fill it with. Most times I get my best ideas being somewhere other than here. And of course I don’t write it down or record it on my phone,Continue reading “Keeping the momentum going!”

A new one, and it’s not my best.

What I mean by that is it’s sad. During the editing process there were certain parts That stuck with me, but I’d rather talk about that later rather than putting out spoilers. Read it, tell me what you think, but don’t cry. You might get tears on your keyboard and screw it up. It’s calledContinue reading “A new one, and it’s not my best.”
