Synopsis
This is my latest volume of short stories and poems. Most of the stories in here relate to the main storyline I've been working on, but some of these stories stand alone. My themes fall into the horror genre. Rather than being the traditional style of horror often seen in movies, my horror reflects the true capacity of human nature.
