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”

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…”
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…”
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!”
Time to Catch a Bastard
“So now what?” asked Gary as he leaned against the car. The parking lot they chose was a bit out of the way, and they had to park in the back for some privacy. “So now we wait” replied Lucy as she came to sit next to him. “Is this going to take long?” “IContinue reading “Time to Catch a Bastard”
Yes
“Good news” she said. My dad likes you.” “Really? He picked on me all through dinner?” “He wouldn’t do that if he didn’t like you.” “Oh, ok. I’m glad I met him. Now I can give you this.” I showed her the ring. She screamed “YES!” before I could ask. “So this is the guy”Continue reading “Yes”
The Ride
He stared absently out of the window from the backseat of the car as it crept through the city traffic. The billboard lights and neon signs pasted colors on his face, exposing his innermost thoughts and feelings. These hues defined his sense of anger, sorrow, and most of all, envy. The city streets opened upContinue reading “The Ride”
More three step flash fiction
No one knew there was a flaw. They admired the piece for what it was, perfectly un-perfect. The artist tried to hide the anger welling up, covering it with a look of aloofness, like it was just another day. It would be remembered as the artist’s greatest piece regardless. The doors opened and the crowedContinue reading “More three step flash fiction”
Cabin
It’s flash fiction, in three parts. They all follow a theme, but should stand alone. As such the order in which they appear shouldn’t matter. Tell me what you think. George stood in the front room of the wooden cabin, a room packed with more memories than furniture. It was gifted to him by hisContinue reading “Cabin”
