Journeys and Ends

Here are two sets of tales. One set shows people going off the beaten track of reality to experience something completely new and unworldly. Individuals in pain who ride a rollercoaster of odd happenings that show life in a different perspective. People running to something or away from something. Places where mundane occurrences mix with myth and magic to turn life inside-out, where anything can happen. Gone is the workaday world of knowing the beginning and ending, or of a sound, sane, sedate frame of reference.
Then we see various world-ending events. How does it happen? Self-launched bombs, asteroid from space, rain of fire, alien invasion, or virus and pandemic? Maybe none of those. Maybe it’s giant lobsters. Or zombies. Here are different takes on the Apocalypse.

Halls of Fear– A Short Collection of Scary Tales

This collection melds three previous short story collections into one ball of different types of terrors that haunt us. Scary stories where people meet their fate in a number of ways. Some are deserved, while some come from pits of evil for the innocent. You never know whether Death or salvation is just around the corner.
Monsters, mayhem, and murder: everything from war to everyday homicide, to otherworldly terrors from hell dimensions. The horror may be internal or external, in your heart or in your cellar. These are stories to make you think, tremble, and shiver with fright– and lock your doors at night– even though it may not do any good…

The author had Stephen King as a writing teacher, and the book is dedicated to him.
