“Yellow”
The cave held the seed of ancient gods . . . their vacation provided the climax of despair.

“Long Distance Call”
There are some calls you should never answer.

“Cage of Bones”
It was beautiful. After weeks of preparation it was finished. A full body restraint. Made of steel. Wood. Leather. And bones.

“Dead Girl On The Side of The Road”
Her body was his, unchanging, for 25 years to enjoy whenever he chose.

“Pumpkin Head”
She held the browning vine up from her belly, and with squeamish understanding, he dug through his clothes for his pocketknife.

“Direkit Seed”
Her name was Ceiran, with a C. She sang sexy Barry Manilow songs and worked in a club. And she was a witch.

“Every Last Drop”
Tony couldn’t resist the promise of the perfect blowjob. But more than his orgasm was being sucked away.

“When Barrettes Brought Justice To A Burning Heart”
The derelict with the milky white eyes promised revenge, and that was something Bill wanted more than life itself.

“The Mouth”
The defining evidence that separates sex and murder is really only the amount of blood left behind on the bed.

“Creaks”
Sometimes the most frightening parts of growing up are the discoveries of our own nature.

“Remember Me, My Husband”
Ella Marie had been dead for 100 years when she gave him her ring.

“Wooden”
“Tonight,” she promised, “I’ll be back. I’ll bring some matches. We’ll have a bonfire, you and I. Dead wood burns best.”

“Swallowing The Pill”
Some pills get easier to swallow…with practice.

“Broken Window”
In giving him entrance to her soul, had Katrina given too much?

“Tomorrow”
He was a bored child prodigy who could use his will to make his pets and parents do whatever he chose. What will he do tomorrow?

“Mirror Image”
The mirror reflects his true nature. Or is it someone else?

“Murdering The Language”
Gretta only wanted to protect the library’s patrons from smut and filth. But some lessons in literature are painful.

“Anniversary”
Margaret lived for the nights of the full moon. And she wanted this night to be perfect; it was their first anniversary.

“The Last Plague”
When nothing else is left, what is there left to lose?

“Bloodroses”
She was blinded by lust and razored by marriage. But at least she had the thorns of her rose garden to soothe her.

2017 . . . the not-so-distant future.

Chaos reigns supreme. Social and economic upheaval, rampant terrorism, and nuclear annihilation have turned the earth into a vast wasteland. And, in Texas, the gates of Hell have been cracked open, unleashing its evil and fury upon the undeserving.

The inhabitants of Ruin Town find themselves as unwilling pawns, trapped between warring forces, desperately attempting to survive. Even when the bombing and gunfire cease, they can find no refuge, no relief, for afterwards, Satan himself descends mercilessly upon them . . . in the form of General Payne and his band of sadistic mercenaries.

It is then that the suffering truly begins. Murder, rape, racial intolerance, mutilation . . . all are heaped upon those who dwell in Ruin Town, if only to feed the General’s insatiable lust for power and sadistic pleasure. Afterward, the broken and dying seek out the only one who can deliver them from the horror that their world has become. The one who can miraculously meld flesh to flesh, and bone to bone.

He is the healer supreme, the medico grande . . . the Flesh-Welder.

Type: Horror Novel
Publisher: Darkside Digital

Alan, Tommy, Rick, Donald and Bernard were inseparable best friends living in the small, coastal Massachusetts town of Potter’s Cove. A circle of five, their world was simple and happy until the day Tommy was struck by a car and killed. Nothing was ever the same.

They were never the same.

Years later, as the four survivors — all unhappy, unsuccessful and marking time — approach their fortieth birthdays, Bernard suddenly commits suicide.

Within weeks of Bernard’s death, one by one the mutilated bodies of murder victims are found in town, and as the three remaining friends attempt to solve the riddle of Bernard’s suicide, they come to realize that he may not have been who or what they thought he was. His entire life may have been a lie, and rather than the sad, lonely and harmless person they believed him to be, he very well may have been a savage ritual killer, a bleeder of young women who conjured evil to fulfill his own demented dreams.

To find the truth not only about Bernard, but themselves, they must delve into the darkness and those who inhabit it, a darkness that cradles an unspeakable evil so terrifying it could forever trap them in the shadows of the damned and shatter the very concept of their existence.
