Ignorech - a short rumor of horror

Here is yet another Wister Town story wherein evil comes home with news from a whistle blower. Larger evil takes the form of an expensive, modern-day cult grown outside the borders of this small Midwestern hellhole...

I Got A Review!

Tarl "Voice" Hoch from Goodreads reminded me The Bestial Cult of Hathor is not one of my better stories. He did me a favor, although I don't anticipate coming back to the tale. It's rough, probably worst than Truthful Consequences.…

Why Don't You Write Romance?

Once she started making $90,000, my ex-fiancee got the idea she was too good for me. That was a strain on our relationship. She said she didn't want to be with a man who made less money than her. Then she met a millionaire. I gave up. The woman became a whore, and a wretched one. Have you seen her? I put my dick into that so I wouldn't go to Dante's second plane of Hell for masturbation. Yeah, my definition of self-pleasure is merely technical but that is how Christians…

Babies Kill the Unborn: A Rockumentary - Second Revison

 

Given my recent breakthrough, or more aptly said, my surrender last month, I've been tearing through my all stories and rewriting them - all of them! All my horror stories are being rewritten with a genuinely Active Voice. I know, you're probably saying "You've said that before," but this time I have. I've stopped trying to force that mood into a reader's head. Don't believe me? Check out…

They're Not Dead

The 2012 Wister Town Revisions

My books have recently been transformed with new revisions - now all told with a strictly Active Voice. Complete, I thought I'd apply the changes to my short stories. They're easier to read then my original Pazuzu stories, but they are sub-par and won't even be considered by professional publications. They're not worth much, even upon eliminating the wretched Passive Voice…

Hometown Proposal



Wister Town



First, the title is only misleading because your hopes and exceptions are projected on the words. It's not a trick, writing is an Art and I'll steer a reader's emotions and expectations the best I can - although my driving can get sloppy. Anyway, I hope you'll read and appreciate my work for those very facts. As an artist, I use the material I have to…

Still Looking for Reviews

I am at once dismayed and enforced with yet another reply from a prospective online book reviewer. I am cursed – excommunicated? I am told, again, the reviewer no longer reviews self-published books and my Pazuzu Trilogy languishes in obscurity. Although frustrated, I am grateful someone replied – and even provided links I can follow and beg for attention from other… Continue

Disappointed on May 21, 2011?

If a lot of you were just sitting around, waiting for the world to end, and were disappointed with the lack of earthquakes and rapture, there is an alternative for spending your time and getting your apocalypse-fix. How about reading the Seventh Revision my Pazuzu Trilogy?…

The Origin of Evil is Extraterrestrial

 

My Mortui Philosophies are a visual mythology of monsters from my old, tattered sketchbook. I recorded the spawn from my imagination throughout high school and college. I then graduated and moved into the grind of everyday and remained mute to the world, and my catalog of fiends slept, waiting for context. I wanted to display my monsters, but had nothing…

Pazuzu Trilogy Word Clouds

Word clouds are graphical statistics, illustrating the frequency of words used in a text. Wordle is a nice toy that will let anyone play and experiment. Upon discovery of the tool, I became curious about how the books in my Pazuzu Trilogy "look." Click on the thumbnails and see the full image generated from each book.…

The Procession of Rewrites

I'm up to the fourth rewrite of my Pazuzu Trilogy and became curious with the differences between the manuscripts. So, I used ExamDiff, a free file comparison application, and compared separate copies of the Pazuzu - Manifestation text files - separate files for each edition. The images are small, but I merely wanted to provide a bird's eye overview of the work accomplished… Continue

Dual Personalities

I feel I must remind potential readers that there are currently two versions of the first half of my fantasy-horror Pazuzu Trilogy available. Both versions are self-published, so I'm free to experiment - especially because I'm a foolhardy, inexperienced and unknown author. Since the free, unedited version of Pazuzu - Manifestation has lured thousands of readers, I thought to explain… Continue

It's Evil, So I Stopped Reading



Even though people have downloaded nearly 2700 copies of the first book in my Pazuzu Trilogy, Pazuzu - Manifestation, I am stymied by lack of feedback. The long, soundless night is especially exasperating, given my… Continue

Rules of the Shur (a.k.a the World) - as Dictated by Author (Warning: Spoilers!)



A
godless world is the impetus for the story I tell in my "Pazuzu" trilogy. The Creator left the world of the Shur desert because mankind became arrogant and sinned without repent. This concept set my story's ground rules. I first needed to illustrate the wickedness of all my characters (That is everyone. Remember, God is gone).



Every chapter provides an example of a broken commandment in the… Continue

Author Insights: Supernatural Aliens



Web of Ithadow

A strand from the web of Ithadow, alien gods - both Ithadow and the web, touched the world centuries ago. Ithadow is a carapace-shrouded jellyfish the size of the Milky Way. The alien god weaves a web across space and time. The web is the living digestive tract of the ethereal entity. The strands of the web seize souls of… Continue
