Cain and published by Silver Shamrock Publishing. The book has lined up an impressive list of horror authors: Gabino Iglesias, Lee Murray, James Newman, Owl Goingback, Tim Curran, Meghan Arcuri, Ronald Kelly, Tim Meyer, Samantha Kolesnik, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Simon Clark, Janine Pipe, Jason Parent, Brennan LaFaro, Red Lagoe, John Lynch, Kristopher Triana, Stephanie Ellis and Chad Lutske, to name a few. Thirty-two stories in all with an introduction by Richard Chizmar.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I was fortunate to have short stories included in Silver Shamrock's previous 2 horror anthologies, MIDNIGHT FROM THE GRAVEYARD ("Swamp Vengeance") and MIDNIGHT IN THE PENTAGRAM ("The Corn Maidens"). During the fall of 2020, when I saw the announcement of a third anthology about alien monsters from outer space, I jumped at the chance to write a short story. It took me a couple of months to come up with an idea. I wanted to write an alien story that was different than anything I had written thus far. At first I started a story set on another planet, but it felt too much like a science fiction story and didn't seem like the right setting. I decided my story would be an alien creature invading earth and that I'd make it personal to me.<br /></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The idea of setting the story on the Big Island of Hawaii came to mind. I have visited four of the islands and even lived on Maui for a year and a half. Back in 2007, I attended a couple of huna spiritual retreats on the Big Island. We hiked jungles and lava fields, swam with dolphins, </span><span style="font-size: large;">meditated in caves, </span><span style="font-size: large;">hung out with authentic Hawaiian kahunas, and learned a forgiveness practice called Ho'oponopono. That time of my life, experiencing the mystical nature of Hawaii, had a strong and lasting impact on me. Below are some photos of a Big Island trip when I was much younger.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4iXwRjwhQ8/YMtxYOnXcUI/AAAAAAAAPGA/G7I8eYexwmYJebe1uAKIW5Vv8VbZ0S7IgCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2041.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2272" data-original-width="1704" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9ExpB_xbPT4/YMtw0CLt20I/AAAAAAAAPFQ/uSMwv7SwQnYSEZzPEIaFp6uT0FhzFN87ACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Huna%2B043.jpg" /></a></div></span><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4iXwRjwhQ8/YMtxYOnXcUI/AAAAAAAAPGA/G7I8eYexwmYJebe1uAKIW5Vv8VbZ0S7IgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2041.JPG" width="320" /></div></span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NznmphOL1Ic/YMtw0peyLpI/AAAAAAAAPFY/ckQCDXxr4okIOlb4ndE_qzTvavw6DqnqwCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2337.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NznmphOL1Ic/YMtw0peyLpI/AAAAAAAAPFY/ckQCDXxr4okIOlb4ndE_qzTvavw6DqnqwCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2337.JPG" width="320" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UdqJYUqHQrk/YMtw0EMkcII/AAAAAAAAPFM/5FvVk2f1FrsHphMu-W1eFKz2o2XRD2iqgCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2138%2Bcropped.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1326" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UdqJYUqHQrk/YMtw0EMkcII/AAAAAAAAPFM/5FvVk2f1FrsHphMu-W1eFKz2o2XRD2iqgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2138%2Bcropped.jpg" /></a></div></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BhnqcSTC-Yk/YMtw1I6LhhI/AAAAAAAAPFc/_s5UtssTzTgSXrpNEx-vcQwoUFGSDz0VACNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2392.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BhnqcSTC-Yk/YMtw1I6LhhI/AAAAAAAAPFc/_s5UtssTzTgSXrpNEx-vcQwoUFGSDz0VACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2392.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JcJ8H5VY22I/YMtw2EZr8GI/AAAAAAAAPFk/3bWdkAFHIWQjN0S_UJ2ObAguLxLJZy8PACNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2400.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JcJ8H5VY22I/YMtw2EZr8GI/AAAAAAAAPFk/3bWdkAFHIWQjN0S_UJ2ObAguLxLJZy8PACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2400.JPG" width="320" /></a></div></div></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">While driving across the Big Island from Kona to Hilo,
we traveled along a rural passage known as Saddle Road, which took
about 3 hours. This is a very scenic road that passes between two
volcanoes Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. On part of the journey, we passed
through a stretch of Saddle Road that was shrouded with dense fog. The
once pictorial forest setting turned creepy and looked to me like we had
transported to an alien planet. I remember passing a convoy of army
vehicles and learned that the U.S. military had a number of bases on the
island. The heavy fog, spooky setting, and heavy military presence gave
Saddle Road an eerie mystique, which got my imagination going. We also
stopped at a rest stop, enjoyed a picnic and fed wild pigs. I knew back
then that one day I would write a story set here, with these elements.
Thus, when I brainstormed for an idea for this alien-monster anthology,
"Incident on Saddle Road" began to take form. </span><p><span style="font-size: large;">It's
interesting to me how characters get chosen for a story. When I start
out writing a story, I usually have a working title and setting first,
and then the characters seem to magically show up. For this story, I
immediately imagined a divorced, single father, Jeff, driving his two
daughters, Kai and Malina, across the island. Because their mother
remarried and moved the girls to another island, Jeff desperately wants
to treat them to a fun father-daughter weekend. But something
otherworldly happens in the fog on Saddle Road that wrecks his plan and
they find themselves in a struggle for survival. Huge thanks to Ken McKinley at Silver Shamrock Publishing for accepting my story and Kenneth W. Cain for editing it.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Look for "Incident on Saddle Road" in MIDNIGHT FROM BEYOND THE STARS.

I wrote this novella back in 2017. I'm a big fan of stories where people are stranded on an island with some kind of deadly menace. As a kid, I had loved watching movies like <i>The Island of Dr. Moreau</i>, <i>The Island</i> with Michael Cain, and <i>Shock Waves</i>. I also enjoyed horror novels like Richard Laymon's <i>Island</i> and Greg F. Gifune's <i>Savages</i>.<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I had always wanted to set one of my books on a tropical island and make it a story about survival. I love the combination of a setting that appears beautiful on the surface but is actually concealing something dark and dangerous. In my latest book, two single women who are best friends, Amy and Jasmine, are enjoying a much-needed girls' getaway vacation in the Philippines. Amy just wants to relax and enjoy hanging out at the resort, but Jasmine, who has been going through a bad divorce, wants to have an adventure. She meets a couple of wealthy single men who offer to take Amy and Jasmine cruising on a yacht and tour some uninhabited islands. Little do they know, the island they choose to explore happens to be inhabited.

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">After 3 years of researching Egyptian mythology and writing, my <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;">TOMB OF GODS is an action-adventure thriller with horror and sci-fi fantasy mixed in for fun. Set in late 1930s London and Egypt, the story follows a team of British archaeologists and soldiers who explore deep into an Egyptian cave tomb full of horrors and wonders. Among them, Egyptologist Imogen Riley is searching for what caused her grandfather's team to vanish in these caves during a previous ill-fated expedition. And why did her grandfather return insane and covered head-to-toe in mysterious scars. Also along for the adventure are archaeologists for the British Museum led by Dr. Nathan Trummel, American journalist and photographer Caleb Beckett, and cast of other characters.</span> </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;">Every member of the expedition team will be tested as they face their darkest fears in a seemingly endless maze of caves that may contain one of the greatest secrets of the ancient pharaohs. The explorers discover quickly that they are being stalked in these caves. The horror scenes are scary, so this novel is not for the faint of heart. If you like Egyptian history mixed with tomb raider adventure, horror and sci-fi fantasy, then I think you'll enjoy this book.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Today my latest short story "Swamp Vengeance" releases on <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Graveyard-Robert-McCammon-ebook/dp/B07XJZCDMJ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=midnight+in+the+graveyard&qid=1571152654&sr=8-1" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Amazon</span></a></span> in a horror anthology MIDNIGHT IN THE GRAVEYARD published by Silver Shamrock Publishing.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t2Y5yW0fPuQ/XaXi20x7zSI/AAAAAAAAOF0/Pcr1w7K7D3kQlhRK7ktDHohMsESDb33SwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Midnight%2Bin%2Bthe%2BGraveyard%2Bcover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="338" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t2Y5yW0fPuQ/XaXi20x7zSI/AAAAAAAAOF0/Pcr1w7K7D3kQlhRK7ktDHohMsESDb33SwCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Midnight%2Bin%2Bthe%2BGraveyard%2Bcover.jpg" width="216" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Swamp Vengeance" was a new type of story for me and very fun to write specifically for this anthology. All the stories by some of the best horror writers today are dark and twisted ghost stories in the tradition of EC comic books like <i>Tales from the Crypt</i> and <i>Vault of Horror</i> and Stephen King's <i>Creepshow</i>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I got the opportunity to write a short story with this comic-book-style ghost-story theme, I was traveling around Florida and staying in many towns up and down the coasts. While driving from Fort Meyers to Miami, I stopped off for a swamp tour at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and got up close and personal with some interesting swamp life and big alligators. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Those last 2 gator photos were taken at Alachua Sink near Gainesville. I also drove across the southern tip of Florida through the Everglades, observing gators swimming in the channels along the road. A friend and I went on an airboat tour through the Glades. This inspired the setting for "Swamp Vengeance" and the creation of my lead character Merle Pritchett, a gator hunter who knows these water channels through the high sawgrass better than he knows his own wife. He also foolishly ignores the legends about the ghosts that inhabit the deeper part of the swamps. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Aside from having a heck of a lot fun touring the Florida wetlands and writing this creepy story, it's an honor to see it included among so many great authors, including one of my literary heroes, Robert McCammon, whose paperback horror novels and short stories I devoured during my years of learning to be a writer. You can now read "Swamp Vengeance" and over 20 other spooky ghost stories in MIDNIGHT IN THE GRAVEYARD, available at Amazon.</span><br />

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent5; mso-themeshade: 191;">One thing I love about the horror genre is how diverse it is. There are many great women writing horror fiction today, in the US and the UK. One such author lives in North Wales and has written several scary books like <i>The Pendle Curse, Saving Grace Devine</i> and <i>The Devil's Serenade</i>. I'm honored to have Catherine
Cavendish back to discuss what inspired her novella <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dark Avenging Angel</i>.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">My
novella – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dark Avenging Angel</i> – is,
as its title suggests, concerned with revenge. In this case, revenge of the
most demonic kind. We’ve all heard the old adage, “Be careful what you wish
for…” Jane learns the truth of this in graphic ways.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Avenging
angels and demons abound in the traditions and folklore of people all over the
world. One such character is a churel – a female ghost of South Asian folkore,
well known in the Indian sub-continent and a pretty hellish character to boot.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">There
are variations on her origins. She may have died in childbirth, during
menstruation, or as a result of poor care while pregnant. It is said that if a
woman (especially one from the lower social classes) dies in pregnancy during the
five-day Hindu Festival of Light (Diwali), she is even more likely to turn into
a churel. Whichever is the cause, the churel is an angry and vengeful spirit
who returns from the dead to suck the blood (and other bodily fluids) of her
male relatives.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Churels
are most often found in and around graveyards, abandoned battlefields,
crossroads, thresholds of houses, toilets and a host of squalid locations.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">They
can take the form of a hideous woman with sagging breasts, backwards facing
feet (toes at the back, heel at the front), long sharp teeth, a black tongue
and unkempt hair. The churel frequently roams naked, and has a pot belly and
claw-like hands. Some churels have unusually thick lips, or even no mouth at
all. Some have pig-like features with long fangs or tusks. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">A
churel can also be a shapeshifter – able to transform into a beautiful young
woman, in order to lure any young male relation she wants. When she has got him
where she wants him, she then drains him of his virility, turning him into a prematurely
aged, grey-haired old man. Once she has finished with him, she moves onto the
next male relative until her vengeance is satisfied. This thirst for revenge may
be so great that it involves more than her own family. She may go in search of
other young men on highways, or at crossroads, where she lures them in her
enchantress guise. In some stories, she will imprison her victim in a graveyard
and use him - little by little - sexually and by draining his blood until he
withers and dies. There is even a story of a young man who was seduced by a
churel, ate the food she gave him and returned to his village the next day as
an old man.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In
some traditions, the churel may transform and become a servant of the goddess
Kali, joining with her to feast on human flesh and blood.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">So
how do you prevent yourself becoming a victim of a churel? The solution is
quite simple, men should treat their wives well. Look after them in pregnancy
and childbirth. If that fails though - and the wife falls sick and dies, the
best methods are to bury rather than cremate her body and perform certain
rituals. The body may be bound. Nails and other bindings may be used to
imprison the would-be churel in her grave, and the woman should be remembered -
with love and honour - in songs and prayers, so that her spirit doesn’t feel
forgotten or neglected.</span></div>

lives with a long-suffering husband and ‘trainee’ black cat in North Wales. Her
home is in a building dating back to the mid-18th century, which is haunted by
a friendly ghost, who announces her presence by footsteps, switching lights on
and strange phenomena involving the washing machine and the TV. Cat has written
a number of published horror novellas, short stories, and novels, frequently
reflecting her twin loves of history and horror and often containing more than a
dash of the dark and Gothic. When not slaving over a hot computer, she enjoys
wandering around Neolithic stone circles and visiting old haunted houses.</span></div>

Shasta Retreat<span style="font-size: large;">Last month I spent a week in Mt. Shasta, California on a retreat through a company called Sacred Voyages led by <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=784264014" href="https://www.facebook.com/greg.m.bernstein"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Greg Magick Bernstein</span></a><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span>where we visited several sacred sites and energy vortexes around Mt.
Shasta. It's truly a magical place and the retreat was just what I
needed to amp up my creativity and get energized for my goals for the
coming year. I had the best time hanging out with some fantastic people. I also got some inspiration for my latest novel, which I'm currently writing. Below are some photos from my trip. <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sacredvoyages.com%2F&h=VAQHte3tgAQFrD7FhMRm6KN2GRtPwYlrtQfpPQ31OHZYlTw&enc=AZNoKI710ks24NoX6ZPtVKfwQqu53xPAIQCyYpLDSVI4xI3ZVlR63KIEt1c7VClDehKN5U8uINZhPCP_l8g3FhQBByVGBkO-zVZ_rEQ0fF2aL43Jzbg5X28HYELPjrqyMpBB8vFyGNohjv9VSLx8GR9KaNK3ZEX40NAK9um7i421IKJux52tifjvT6XlBLmEwx8&s=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">http://www.sacredvoyages.com/</span></a></span><br />

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I’m happy to have author Jonathan Janz back as a guest on my
blog. More than just a talented horror writer who can scare you with great
stories, he’s become a personal friend of mine. Every year since we met a few
years back at Horror Hound Cincinnati, Janz has been taking the horror genre by
storm, churning out many excellent novels, including <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">House of Skin,</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Savage
Species, Wolf Land, The Nightmare Girl,</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dust Devils</i> to name a few. Now, he’s just released a new book:</span> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Children-Dark-Jonathan-Janz/dp/1944044140/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461343102&sr=8-1&keywords=children+of+the+dark"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">Children

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">by Jonathan Janz</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">First
off, I want to thank Brian for hosting me today, for being such a good friend,
and for writing such outstanding fiction. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now
that I’m here, let me tell you something I suspect many of you will relate to…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
love <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stand By Me</i>. I saw the movie
back in high school and read the novella on which it was based shortly after,
and both tales spoke to me in a way that few stories do. Innocence is a
fleeting, precious thing, and the movie/novella combo to which I’m alluding
does an incredible job of capturing both that innocence and its permanent removal.
The Stephen King epigraph I used in the beginning of my novel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Children of the Dark</i> says it perfectly: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Love isn’t soft,
like those poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.” </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">When
we’re very small, we long to be comforted, cherished, wrapped up in our
parents’ unconditional embrace. That safety, of course, can’t last forever, and
over the course of our late childhood and adolescence we begin to recognize the
harsh realities of life, the razorlike teeth of love. Though we cling to our
illusions, it dawns on us in a series of shattering revelations that life
really isn’t so simple, that even love can pierce us deeply and permanently. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In
the King story and the Rob Reiner movie, Gordie LaChance loses his big brother,
which is bad enough. Just as devastating for Gordie, however, is the manner in
which his parents forget he’s still alive. In the moments he needs his folks
the most, they seem to care about him the least, and as a result, his nightmare
becomes even more traumatic. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Chris
Chambers is a great kid with a bad family, which means (in the town’s eyes)
he’s guilty by association. He’s smarter than most and more loyal than just
about anyone, yet the alcoholism and dysfunction surrounding him manufacture a
seedy, clinging aura he doesn’t deserve but cannot shake. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">These
kids take refuge in their friendship, and it is this bond that forms the emotional
core of both King’s novella and Reiner’s film. Like all great fiction, it is
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">human</i> element—the connections we
feel with the characters, the universality of the emotions expressed—that
engrosses us and touches our emotions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">These
tales spoke to me during my formative years, and I yearned to tap into those
emotions when I wrote my own coming-of-age tale. The two main characters in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Children of the Dark</i> (Will Burgess,
partially named for Wil Wheaton, who played Gordie LaChance; and Chris Watkins,
who resembles Chris Chambers in certain respects) are enduring hardships with
which they’re incapable of grappling by themselves. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Will
Burgess never knew his father, has a drug addict for a mom, and is charged with
acting as the father figure to his six-year-old sister. Add to that Will’s
poverty, his undesirable reputation in the town, and his unfortunate conflict
with several bullying upperclassmen, and you have a difficult, bleak life,
especially for a person so young. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">On
the surface, Chris Watkins is Will’s opposite. Born into a rich household, son
of an influential attorney, Chris appears to lead a life of privilege. However,
there are harsh truths lurking beneath the sparkling veneer, truths that are
revealed later in my novel. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">(Those
of you who’ve read Ray Bradbury’s sublime <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Something
Wicked This Way Comes</i> might also be sensing a connection between Bradbury’s
classic tale and my own. This is also intentional, particularly with regard to
Bradbury’s central young characters.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Like
King’s characters, Will Burgess and Chris Watkins draw strength from their relationship.
Like King’s characters, Will and Chris are thrust into a harrowing situation
and forced to deal with it as well as they can…though at times their coping
mechanisms are far from adequate. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">You
see, at the heart of both stories is the destructive shadow side of love: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Gordie
LaChance is wounded by the withdrawal of parental love at a time when he needs
it more than he ever has. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Chris
Chambers is physically and verbally abused by his father. The man who is
supposed to provide Chris with a positive male role model becomes a blade that
stabs Chris over and over. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Will
Burgess understands the sharp teeth of love very well. Not unlike Gordy

children become an afterthought. </span></div>

Watkins, as alluded to earlier, must face emotionally-scarring realities, and
like the other three boys, the wielder of the weapon in Chris’s case is a
person he should be able to trust. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In
many ways, the loss of innocence isn’t as painful when strangers are the ones
stealing it. But when those we love are the authors of our forced maturation,
the damage multiplies. It’s a dire enough truth that people can be vicious,
snarling creatures. It’s far worse to learn that the unconditional embrace of
our parents is often full of conditions, full of selfishness. </span></div>

Burgess is used to hard knocks. Abandoned by his father, son of a drug-addicted
mother, and charged with raising his six-year-old sister, Will has far more to
worry about than most high school freshmen. To make matters worse, Mia Samuels,
the girl of Will’s dreams, is dating his worst enemy, the most sadistic
upperclassman at Shadeland High. Will’s troubles, however, are just beginning.</span></div>

one of the nation’s most notorious criminals—the Moonlight Killer—has escaped
from prison and is headed straight toward Will’s hometown. And something else
is lurking in Savage Hollow, the forest surrounding Will’s rundown house.
Something ancient and infinitely evil. When the worst storm of the decade
descends on Shadeland, Will and his friends must confront unfathomable horrors.
Everyone Will loves—his mother, his little sister, Mia, and his friends—will be
threatened.</span></div>

Janz grew up between a dark forest and a graveyard, and in away, that explains
everything. Brian Keene named his debut novel T<i>he Sorrows</i> “the best
horror novel of 2012.” The Library Journal deemed his follow-up, House of Skin,
“reminiscent of Shirley Jackson’s <i>The Haunting of Hill House</i> and Peter
Straub’s <i>Ghost Story</i>.”</span></div>

saw the publication of his novel of vampirism and demonic possession <i>The
Darkest Lullaby</i>, as well as his serialized horror novel <i>Savage Species.</i>
Of <i>Savage Species,</i> Publishers Weekly said, “Fans of old-school
splatterpunk horror–Janz cites Richard Laymon as an influence, and it
shows–will find much to relish.” Jonathan’s Kindle Worlds novel <i>Bloodshot:
Kingdom of Shadows</i> marked his first foray into the superhero/action genre.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jack
Ketchum called his vampire western <i>Dust Devils</i> a “Rousing-good weird
western,” and his sequel to <i>The Sorrows</i> (<i>Castle of Sorrows</i>) was
selected one of 2014’s top three novels by Pod of Horror. 2015 saw the release
of <i>The Nightmare Girl</i>, which prompted Pod of Horror to call
Jonathan “Horror’s Next Big Thing.” 2015 also saw the release of <i>Wolf
Land,</i> which Publishers Weekly called “gruesome yet entertaining gorefest”
with “an impressive and bloody climax.” He has also written four novellas
(<i>Exorcist Road, The Clearing of Travis Coble, Old Order, and Witching Hour
Theatre</i>) and several short stories.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In
addition to witches, I often write about devils and demons, revenge and
retribution. I am not alone, of course. Ancient traditions of vengeance abound
in the traditions and folklore of people all over the world, often involving
demons and other creatures from the paranormal. One such character is Onryo – a
mythological spirit found in Japanese folklore. Actually there wasn’t just one
of them, but many, and onryos are usually (though not exclusively) female.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">An
onryo is an angry and vengeful spirit who returns from the depths of the
Otherworld. In life, she has been a gentle and inoffensive, non-assertive
woman, but she has been ill-used by her brutal and aggressive husband and,
after death - frequently at the hands of the wicked husband - her spirit has
blackened. She has also become immensely strong and dangerous and will stop at
nothing to gain her revenge.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Onryos
first appeared in Japanese folklore around the 7<sup>th</sup> or 8<sup>th</sup>
century and rapidly became embedded in legend. They have but one aim in death -
to punish their abusers with unbearable and eternal torture if they should dare
to continue to use aggression on their new women.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">So
powerful were the stories of this vengeance, that onryos became one of the most
feared legends in Japan and other Asian countries by the early 1900s. The old
legends didn’t describe their appearance but, as more and more men were
attacked by them, a picture began to emerge.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">They
are usually described as slender, beautiful and dressed in a white,
bloodstained kimono. Their veins stand out as green and purple and they have
long black hair, covering their faces. When angered their hair bristles as if
electrified, revealing a deformed face, frequently with a mouth, but no eyes or
nose.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">An
encounter with an onryo usually starts by their intended victim finding a
seemingly unconscious woman collapsed on the floor. As they approach her, the
man will feel the onset of a sudden migraine and chest pains. As they near her,
they will hear strange, unintelligible sounds coming from the woman – similar
to weeping, or whispering in an unfamiliar language. Then, the onryo will stand
and levitate towards the victim, reaching out to capture him with her hands.
Now the woman is surrounded in a dark aura and makes deep, unearthly growls.</span></div>

some instances, the onryo will kill their intended. In others, they will curse
the abusive husband and his family, and even sentence any woman he makes
intimate contact with to death. They have also been blamed for causing anything
from earthquakes to fires, storms, drought, famine and pestilence in their
quest for vengeance.</span></div>

Phillips’s grief at her husband’s sudden death shows no sign of passing. Even
sleep brings her no peace. She experiences vivid, disturbing dreams of a dark,
brooding hill, and a man—somehow out of time—who seems to know her. She
discovers that the place she has dreamed about exists. Pendle Hill. And she
knows she must go there. But as soon as she arrives, the dream becomes a nightmare.
She is caught up in a web of witchcraft and evil…and a curse that will not die.</span></div>

<b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Here’s a short extract from
the beginning:</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">His
spirit soared within him and flew up into the storm-clad sky as blackness
descended and the rain became a tempest. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">He flew.
Lost in a maelstrom of swirling mists. Somewhere a baby cried until its sobs
became distorted, tortured roars. Beyond, a black void loomed. He saw Alizon’s
spirit just ahead and tried to call out to her, but his voice couldn’t reach
her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Beside
him, another spirit cried out. His mother. He flinched at her screams before
they were drowned in the mass—that terrible parody of some hideous child. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
blackness metamorphosed. An amorphous shape formed as his eyes struggled to see
with their new vision—the gift of death. Small baby limbs flailed towards him.
Eyes of fire flashed as a toothless mouth opened. Screeching, roaring and
demanding to be fed. Demanding its mother.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

pull her back. “Alizon!”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">She

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">He
recognized it instantly. The blazing fire. The devil child. That cursed infant
had come for them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Again he
reached out with arms that no longer felt connected to him, but he was
powerless to stop Alizon being swept away, deep into the abomination’s maw.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“No!” His
cry reverberated around him—a wail of anguish in a sea of torment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Then…silence.
Only he remained, drifting in swirling gray mists of time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“I will
find you, sweet Alizon. One day I will find you. And I will find the one who
betrayed us.”</span></div>

We talk about writing horror fiction, what inspires writers, experiences with the paranormal and I read excerpts from DARKNESS RISING and DEAD OF WINTER. My interview starts around 12 minutes into the show.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #4bacc6;">Today’s guest author
is one of the top horror authors writing today. If you haven’t read any of
Hunter Shea’s ghost hunter or monster books, you’re in for a treat to discover
his books. They are rocket-paced, bloody, and most of all <i>scary</i>. One of my
favorites is </span><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Montauk-Monster-Hunter-Shea/dp/0786034750/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1442256308&sr=8-4&keywords=hunter+shea"><span style="color: orange;">Montauk Monster</span></a></i><span style="color: #4bacc6;">.
Now, Hunter has just released a new post-apocalyptic horror novel </span><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tortures-Damned-Hunter-Shea/dp/0786034777/ref=pd_sim_14_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=0F557BPVACAFJ52F80MV"><span style="color: orange;">Tortures of the Damned</span></a></i><span style="color: #4bacc6;">,
which Publisher’s Weekly calls “A lot of splattery fun.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4bacc6; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Here’s the synopsis:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">SHOCK…</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
First, the electricity goes—plunging the east coast in darkness after a
devastating nuclear attack. Millions panic. Millions die. They are the lucky
ones.<br />
<br />
<b>AFTER SHOCK…</b><br />
Next, the chemical weapons take effect—killing or contaminating everything
alive. Except a handful of survivors in a bomb shelter. They are the damned.<br />
<br />
<b> HELL IS FOR HUMANS</b><br />
Then, the real nightmare begins. Hordes of rats force two terrified families
out of their shelter—and into the savage streets of an apocalytic wasteland.
They are not alone. Vicious, chemical-crazed animals hunt in packs. Dogs tear
flesh, cats draw blood, horses crush bone. Roaming gangs of the sick and dying
are barely recognizable as human. These are the times that try men’s souls.
These are the tortures that tear families apart. This is hell on earth. The
rules are simple: <i>Kill or die.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

answer. Who was the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1936? In the time it takes to

investigator Timothy Yohe is back to share an update about the latest
explorations into Molly Stark Hospital.

hope you enjoy this revisit to one of the most mysterious abandoned hospitals
in the U.S.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Over
this past summer I had the opportunity to travel back to my hometown in Ohio
and pay a visit to my family. This trip was taken literally right before our
first grandchild was to be born. I knew I was taking a chance on missing his
birth, but my intuition told me he would wait for my return. Following that
same instinct that I use in paranormal investigations, we jumped into the
rental car and headed for the eastern horizon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">When I
left for Ohio, I hadn’t really planned to make another visit to the Molly Stark
Hospital. This was just a trip to see our folks, although it was looming in the
back of my mind. On previous investigations we had had great success capturing
orbs, hearing voices, and I even encountered at least one of the site’s
residents when I entered in through a back window and explored the basement. It
was really cool to document <a href="http://brianmoreland.blogspot.com/2014/01/is-molly-stark-hospital-in-ohio-truly.html"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">my
first article</span></span></a> of a paranormal investigation and, yes, I owe a lot of that
to Brian Moreland. His invitation to guest write this story for him (we met on
his Trans-Allegheny article) has launched <a href="http://ghosttracker423.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">a passionate blog</span></span></a> with an even
more amazing community tying it all together. Thank you Brian!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> During
those investigations that started back in 2012, my bother-in-law and nephew
tagged along for the experience. In our short time there a passion got fired up
within my nephew, who was 14 at the time, and now he loves to pursue the
paranormal. He now visits the site on a regular basis with his friends and
continues to capture activity. So, naturally, during the first night of our
visit, he proposed a return to the hospital grounds. How could I refuse?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> On each
of the previous visits we had focused on the three-story hospital in search of
activity. We captured voices coming from the ventilation shaft, orbs present in
the balcony overhangs, movement in the windows, and when I ventured down the
hallway, I could hear footsteps coming down the stairs that made the hair on my
arms stand on end. I believe that some
of the residents here have never left and my experiences have absolutely confirmed
this suspicion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">This
time we started our investigation with the smaller building, shooting many
digital photos as we walked around its perimeter. We were unable to capture any
visual evidence, but we were able to still-frame some of the beautiful
architecture on this building. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
only spot that was in question was a second-story window that was open on the
back side and seemed to have someone peering out from it. There wasn’t any
background light to contrast the darkness, there was simply that feeling you
get when someone is watching you. It was quite creepy, but no documentable
evidence to be had as proof.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I did
bring an electronic voice recorder with me and kept it running the whole time,
sticking it in through any opening and trying to remain as quiet as possible as
we walked. At one stop on the route I did find an open window and we think we
may have captured a female voice uttering about three words. It is very
difficult to ascertain what is being said because the device is more suited for
recording college professors than paranormal activity. I am hoping by this
summer I can obtain a good DVR so I can finally get good audio recordings. Good
evidence supports good paranormal claims.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">After
we finished investigating the smaller sanatorium, we ventured over to the
hospital just to see if, by chance, we could capture any of the activity like
the previous times we were here. Since our last time, my nephew said that he
and his friends have done some extensive investigating on the property and have
heard quite a few sounds they were unable to identify. One time his friend’s
dog had a reaction to something inside the building because he started barking
and prancing erratically. After pulling him away and moving further down the
building, he did settle down. They were not sure exactly what to make of that
incident. Animals do have abilities to detect things we cannot and their senses
of smell and vision are keener than ours. That is one reason the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ghost Hunters </i>team brought along their
dog, Maddie, on several of their investigations. Jason Hawes, founder and lead
investigator, wanted to see if Maddie could be helpful, and she was on many

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">As we
made our way around the first corner, we encountered the warning “Death Awaits”
written in graffiti on a wooden door. Indeed, every effort was being made to
keep people out of the Molly Stark Hospital, not only because it is a crumbling
danger zone, but also because it is full of asbestos. I did not know this fact
when I entered the building a couple years earlier. I am hoping that by not
wearing a mask that I won’t catch asbestosis later in life. Goes to prove, make
sure you thoroughly research your sites before you do an investigation. This is
good advice I would give to anyone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">A park
ranger has now been assigned to walk the beat around the premises as many
teenagers have been reported to have been sneaking in through the windows and
venturing throughout the interior. If you search YouTube you can find a few of
these boys incriminating themselves. The ranger we met was really cool and he
made a lot of small talk with us just to see if we were up to anything we
shouldn’t be. He saw my voice recorder, but didn’t mind us using it. We have
that conversation recorded on the EVR. He is now submitted evidence.</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ascii-font-family: Georgia; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Georgia; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span></span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">While
walking around the perimeter we took several photos of the balconies, windows,
and doorways where we had captured orbs before. This time around we didn’t
catch anything. But, when the park ranger wasn’t in our immediate vicinity, we
did pull back a couple of the plywood boards and did some quick shots. Here we
did capture a couple of things we are not sure how to debunk, if they can be
debunked at all.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In our
first photo you can see a white ball of light on the right and in the middle of
the picture. We shot several photos of this spot and the light showed up on all
of them but one. We tried hard to see if there was an object that light could
be reflecting off of, but we couldn’t ascertain anything in that spot. The room
is full of a lot of stuff, so this might be debunked as not being paranormal.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">We did
capture something, though, that we cannot debunk. You will notice in the
picture above that the area looks like a shower-type area. There’s nothing in
the way of the paranormal to be seen. It’s just a cluttered room.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">This
next photo was taken by my nephew using his cell phone camera to shoot the
exact same spot I just shot with a digital camera. Although this picture is not
anywhere as clear as the one on his phone, there is a green mist present in the
doorway. This next photo is a close-up of the area, again without any sign of
an anomaly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1ntGOs9m1cw/VN5blGQdr7I/AAAAAAAAFbY/ZU2qHvl0vDc/s1600/Close%2BUp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1ntGOs9m1cw/VN5blGQdr7I/AAAAAAAAFbY/ZU2qHvl0vDc/s1600/Close%2BUp.jpg" height="640" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">This
green mist we believe is the clear sign of something in the doorway attempting
to manifest itself for us. Prior to these photos we had placed the EVR inside
and were asking several questions without any response. Perhaps the entity was
choosing a visual response over an auditory one. Another thing you will notice
about my nephew’s photo is that there is some visible white streaking. There
wasn’t any glass on the window, so a reflection is out of the question. After
doing some research, I have found that this shows up in photos as the spiritual
veil which separates the physical and supernatural worlds. So, in essence, his
photo gave us a two-fold capture – one of an entity attempting to manifest and
the other is a rare view of the invisible barrier that separates the dead from
the living.</span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Concluding
Thoughts</span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Once
again Molly Stark Hospital has not let us down as very active. It is rather
unusual for a site to consistently yield activity, but this one has been the
exception. In our brief amount of time here, we were able to capture more
evidence that simply puts the nail in the coffin, so to say, that this location
is haunted. We do not believe there are any malevolent entities on the grounds,
just perhaps some of them may be a bit intimidating. Life in a tuberculosis
hospital would have been a combination of fresh air therapy mixed in with chaos
and misery. The patients would have carried those energies with them when they
crossed over the spiritual veil.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I do
wonder if my great-great aunt and her son, patients at the hospital in its
earlier existence, still walk in and throughout the Molly Stark property. I
would like to think that their souls are content and happy. The state of Ohio
purchased the site for one dollar and they are planning to redevelop it into
Molly Stark Park. The buildings are slated to be torn down, but perhaps the
beauty of a new vibrant landscape will allow all the souls here to finally rest
in peace.</span></div>

been having a lot of guest writers share their encounters with real paranormal
phenomena from haunted hospitals to haunted graveyards to haunted houses. Today,
Dawn Shepard shares some strange paranormal activity in her own home, which
seems to be possessed by multiple spirits . . . and these aren’t the friendly
kind. I’ll let Dawn take it from here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">My paranormal journey has
been one of the most difficult, dangerous, yet intriguing paths I’ve taken
within my life. Since my childhood I’ve always believed in ghosts, spirits,
entities and have been told by many that I have a gift of being a sensitive or empathy
to them. Personally, I never attributed myself to this belief of a gift until
four years ago, and that’s when I started to believe differently. I had some
experiences after my grandfather’s passing but not ever the intensity of what
I’ve been dealing with in my home.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I’ve lived in my rented home
peacefully for ten years, but things started occurring after being here for
only seven years. Activity started in October 2010 after a Ouija board was
found while cleaning the attic. It was noticed that sometimes objects would
disappear in our home, but because of a hectic lifestyle, it was thought to be
a result of being absent minded or forgetful and never questioned. Sometimes
you could hear a door open or close, but having pets in the home seemed to be
the answer to these occurrences too. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>On March 11<sup>th</sup>, 2011 the unexplained
reality of paranormal happenings became very real and began my journey into the
realm of another real and true existence.</span><br />

mine and the third is believed to be an attachment to the home since the

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I love it when people share their ghost stories
on my blog. Today’s guest blogger is Timothy Yohe, a ghost tracker who writes
for The Paranormal Blog. </span><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Earlier this year,
Timothy was a guest here and contributed the popular article <a href="http://brianmoreland.blogspot.com/2014/01/is-molly-stark-hospital-in-ohio-truly.html"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">“Is
the Molly Stark Hospital</span> <span style="color: #6fa8dc;">in Ohio Truly Haunted?”</span></a> </span><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Well, he’s back to
share with us three spooky paranormal stories of haunted cemeteries and some interesting theories about the invisible veil that separates us from the realms of ghosts. Without
further ado, I’ll turn this blog over to Timothy.</span><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

the physical and the spiritual worlds holds many mysteries about life and
death. There must be some good reason why God has placed this dividing wall
between these two realms. I suppose that if it wasn’t there, then a strange
chaos would ensue because of the great confusion between physical beings and
their spiritual counterparts existing in the same realm. Without this barrier
there would be no “other side” to cross over and even the concepts of heaven
and hell might not exist because everything would be transparent. Or, maybe
they would exist and the blissful or fiery visual reminder would motivate
people to live better lives. Perhaps, as well, things were designed this way to
provide boundaries and rules for humans and spirits to follow. The fact is we
simply do not know for certain. What we do know is that a society without rules
is, of course, total anarchy. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"></span>

<div class="normal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So ... we could say
that this veil is there to maintain order. However, there are some entities who
are able to defy the natural spiritual laws by crossing over this barrier and
manifesting themselves to us. They can harvest energy and appear as a physical
ectoplasm, mist, or dark inky smoke. Some even use dust to manifest, and yet
others do not physically manifest at all. But, no matter what form entities
take, they can physically affect you. In fact, they can scare the crap out of
you … if you let them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The workers had
discovered remains from an island that was located about 9 miles north of the
city of St. Louis. Before the Civil War this place was known as “Sunflower
Island” and is notorious for a duel that happened here in 1842. “At the time, a
man by the name of James Shields was the Illinois State Auditor. He was also the
political rival of a young lawyer named Abraham Lincoln.” (distilledhistory)
The story goes that Lincoln wrote a letter to the local newspaper poking fun at
Shields. Lincoln’s future wife, Mary Todd, continued to write these letters
under a phony name and very quickly Shields’ reputation began to suffer.
Shields assumed the persistent letter writing was Lincoln’s doing and
challenged him to a duel by sword on Sunflower Island. Shields, who was 8
inches shorter than Lincoln, ultimately realized his stature and arm length
would put him at a severe disadvantage and he would inevitably lose the duel.
After tempers cooled, and with the memories of Aaron Burr and Alexander
Hamilton still lingering, they made peace.</span></div>

<div class="normal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The island changed
its name to “Smallpox Island” in 1862, when “the federal government took over a
disused prison there ... and turned it into a prisoner of war camp. Out of the
11,764 Confederate prisoners, about 1,800 of them died.” (rootsweb) Smallpox
had broken out in this camp and the overcrowded living conditions plagued the
site with pneumonia and dysentery as well. Many of the prisoners who died here
were buried in the town of Alton. To a certain degree, I believe that the high
paranormal activity in Alton National Cemetery stems from the events on
Smallpox Island, because these soldiers are continually locked in unrest and
pleading to be helped. Our investigation of the Alton National Cemetery
suggests that this may very well be true.</span></div>

cemetery off of Pearl Street, we immediately felt that someone was following
us. Our psychic alarms were going off and every now and then we could hear the
scuffle of feet in the gravel. Our tour guide told us this was very common here,
because the soldiers are curious of who you are and will follow you on the
paths. She also mentioned that some soldiers can be seen darting from tree to
tree. We were able to catch several glimpses of dark shadows running across the
graveyard as though they were still fighting the enemy. And they truly believe
that the war rages on and their brotherly enemy is still out to kill them. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></div>

through about two-thirds of the cemetery, we decided to break out the dowsing
rods. My wife held them in her hands and I walked behind her with a digital
camera over her head, constantly shooting photos. Very quickly an unseen entity
began to work the rods, guiding us through the gravestones. At one stop we were
able to capture a white mist that only showed up on film. We did not see it
with our naked eyes. Since the batteries were draining very quickly, we
attributed this phenomenon to this entity as harvesting energy in an attempt to
manifest him or herself to us. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></div>

Portland, and it "was laid out in 1831 by John Yates and Eden
Benson." Slowly the town's population grew to near 250 in 1874. In this
year the town “had 2 stores, 1 furniture store, 1 jewelry store, 1 blacksmith
shop, and 1 tobacco factory." (thelibrary.org) Today the community hosts a
couple more stores and the population seems to have increased a little,
however, there is no data available. Our interest in writing this article does
not necessarily lie with the historic town itself, but rather a certain
landmark that does exist in the northeastern part of the community. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></div>

scanning the landscape on our return back, we could hear sticks snapping and
brush moving. There was no sign of any animal or human running through the vegetation.
Something was watching us, tracking us, following our movement. Suddenly my

caught up to me on her bike and told me something smacked her back tire hard

she heard footsteps running up on her, but she did not see anyone. She agreed
with me, as she is very sensitive to the paranormal realm, that she too sensed
someone eerily staring and following us along this stretch of trail. This
incident was very disconcerting because, odds are she wasn't the first person
to be attacked on this stretch of the Katy Trail. Some invisible entity was
aggressively playful and intended harm. Very shortly after we packed up to

of this tombstone looking out across the cemetery. His entire body radiated a
pale, bluish gray light and he turned and looked at us as we approached.

quickly turned around and ran out of the cemetery. Because this was such a

experiences are uniquely different. The one factor that unifies them together
is that each manifestation exercised an ability to cross over the invisible
veil into our physical world. There seems to be a number of ways that an entity
can harvest energy in order to make this happen. In the Alton Cemetery the
soldier (we assume) was able to pull energy from our camera batteries to

upon, except for the possibility of limestone deposits which could line the
shores of the Missouri River. It could be a possibility as well that this was a

we very clearly saw appeared as though he had been around for a very long time
because of his garb. I would suppose that an entity who chose to fill this role
would have a lot of experience on how to harvest and utilize energy as he would
deem fit. Just as we in this physical world learn the parameters of natural
law, so too will entities do the same in the spirit world. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></div>

someone whose work I’ve been a fan of since the 1980s, when Eric Red was
writing screenplays and directing movies. Two movies he wrote I consider
classics. You may have seen <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Hitcher</i>
(1986) and the vampire flick <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Near Dark</i>
(1987). When I was studying screenwriting at UT Austin back in 1989, my
professor talked about Eric Red and his screenplays, and we discussed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Hitcher</i> in depth. I admired Red’s
early success as a writer. In 1991, I went to the theater to see the horror
movie <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Body Parts</i> and there on the big
screen was Written and Directed by Eric Red. Mr. Red went on to write and direct
some other recognizable horror movies, including <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bad Moon</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">100 Feet,</i> to
name a few.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">After making his mark on the
movie business, Eric Red has gone on to write comic book series, graphic novels
and channeled his talents into writing horror short stories and novels. I was
thrilled when he joined the team of authors at my publisher Samhain Horror. Now,
with the release of his latest Sci-Fi monster novel, <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It
Waits Below,</i></b> I’m honored to have Eric Red as a guest on my blog as he shares
his wisdom about researching for a horror novel.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> What does research matter in
horror? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">You’d think doing research
as an author would be less important for a horror novel than other literary
genres, because monsters and the supernatural aren’t real—or at least some
think so. But in my opinion, the more realistic the everyday details, technology,
ordinance, hardware, professional behavior, and science, the more the reader believes
what’s going on, increasing their involvement in the story. Even though the
reader knows a horror st<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>ory is unreal, I believe the greater
the verisimilitude, that on an unconscious level people believe what is happening
just a little bit more—and it’s that much more scary. It all comes down to
suspension of disbelief.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I knew two things before
writing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It Waits Below</i>, my new
Samhain novel about the crew of a three-man Deep Submergence Vehicle who
encounter an alien life form at the bottom of the ocean. One, the book had to
be technically accurate. Two, I didn’t know shit about subs, and needed
technical advisors who did. With the help of The National Academy Of Sciences,
I was introduced to one of the top Alvin sub pilots in the world and his wife,
a prominent oceanographer and microbiologist. For months they gave me
invaluable help explaining how these subs are operated and what the crews
encounter many miles down. They answered a million questions and shared
fascinating materials that provided inspiration for some of the most terrifying
scenes in the book. Later, I would run finished scenes by them and ask if this
could happen or that could happen. Without the help of my technical advisers,
the novel would have been about as convincing as an old <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea</i> TV episode.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Some writers are
research-wonks, but originally I wasn’t. When I started writing scripts for
movies like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Hitcher</i>—road
thrillers set in a spare highway iconography—what the hell did you need to
know? Get a map of Texas. Find out the makes of the police cars and what kind
of guns they carried. The rest was pure imagination. But over the years, as my
subject matter grew more involved, so did the research entailed. What I
discovered was some of the most creative ideas often sprang from the research.</span></div>

graphic novel about to be re-republished, I had to research long-distance space
exploration and immediately realized the movie cliché of these cavernous space
arks is a total myth. The fact is everything would need to be built as small and
compact as possible to conserve weight and mass for propulsion. The creative
opportunity was since the story involved cryogenic zombies on a spaceship, the
more cramped and claustrophobic the surroundings, the greater the tension and
suspense.</span>

of the ocean on a falling asteroid that destroys a Spanish treasure ship in the
1800’s. Centuries later, a salvage dive by treasure hunters sets the story in
motion. Again, a little research paid off. I hunted down some footage of meteor
strikes and was astonished by one event filmed not too long ago in the Eastern
Block by witnesses on DV cams and iPhones from every conceivable vantage point.
An actual large asteroid impact didn’t look like I imagined, or had seen in
movies—it was a pulsing light over the world that turned in day to night to day
to night and back again; utterly apocalyptic and chilling. So the crashing
meteor that hits the treasure gallon in the opening of the novel was described
in just such a manner.</span></div>

it all by my Alvin sub pilot consultant, and made it as “speculatively

In the 1800s, an asteroid carrying an extraterrestrial life form crashed to
earth and sunk a Spanish treasure ship. Now, a trio of salvage experts dives a
three-man sub to the deepest part of the ocean to recover the sunken gold.
There, they confront a nightmarish alien organism beyond comprehension, which
has waited for over a century to get to the surface. It finally has its chance.</span></div>

Most people know me as a writer of scary books, but I also love nature and have a soft spot for animals. This past week I got the opportunity to tour a wildlife rescue center in Central Texas that rescues baby raccoons and skunks. Here are some fun photos.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I learned that when baby animals lose their mothers and become orphaned, they are rescued and taken to a wildlife intake center where they are fed, nurtured, and taken care of. This gives them the best chance of survival. When the animals are mature enough, they are released back into the wild.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The wildlife center that I visited was currently caring for close to 40 baby skunks and 4 raccoons. At first, I was apprehensive about going anywhere near a skunk, but learned the babies don't tend to spray unless spooked or stepped on and will usually give you plenty of warning by bouncing up and down. The skunks I met were all very tamed. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">On January 29, 2009 - I
stood in front of a group of mourners in a church honoring my deceased friend,
who is the subject of my book, giving his eulogy. I never could have imagined I
would now be an author telling my true story of an incredible horror―haunting/poltergeist
experience―I and my son survived.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When I first entertained the
idea of writing a book, urged by my friends and family members after hearing of
the unusual events and happenings at the estate of my deceased friend, I had no
intention of writing it myself. I felt if I provided the story and the
materials, even possibly be interviewed, then someone else could do a better
job. Having no formal experience other than creative writing classes in high
school and a one-act play―I wrote for a college assignment, ironically about a
revengeful ghost―I was on the learning curve.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But, after experiencing the
horrific ordeal with the paranormal I knew I had to record these extraordinary
haunted experiences other than a daily diary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My son and I, along with other witnesses, saw and heard (on our captured
audio and visual equipment) extreme poltergeist activity, cold spots, black and
gold orbs, an apparition, objects appearing and disappearing, non-human voices
and endured physical attacks. I knew if I didn't write my book I'd regret it
for the rest of my life.</span></div>

think of myself as an author. As my background is of a professional artist for

author? This may seem strange coming from someone who is has scored a literary
agent, Laurie Hawkins of Collage Literary, who has been a real rock of support
and always held an unwavering belief in me. Laurie signed me to a contract in
summer of 2011. This was a brave act for her, as she has since been the
recipient of some very strange paranormal activity after taking on my project.
(Nothing like having your client's manuscript being printed out and the machine
spits out a metal clamp over your head and across the room!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Even with the crazy
background of the recent haunting I had experienced, I never expected to be
haunted the whole time writing my manuscript. My anthropologist friend left me
many items in his will, which I stored in my basement. This turned out to be a
very bad decision. Someone or something transferred to my house and was now
acting up with major poltergeist activity. My once safe haven―where I spent
years as a single parent raising my son, where I worked in my home art studio,
enduring economic and personal hardship, caring for two critically ill parents,
and proudly handling it all―was now a battle ground for spirits.</span><br />

physical toll on me and my family have been enormous. We have gotten used to
living a paranormal life every day, but it's not easy. You never get used to
looking over your shoulder, or being scratched while taking a bath, or seeing a
Shadow Man walking in your front hallway while watching TV, or hearing a
horrible growl, or the door rattle to your basement. Even when sudden bouts of
nausea and stabbing pains (psychic) in the stomach, while moving boxes in the
basement, did not deter me. I felt that the best defensive was an offense! I
decided that others needed to know what happened to me, and the ghosts needed
to be put in their place. This was MY home and they were not going to frighten
me away!</span><br />

started that today’s authors have to be very pro-active in marketing themselves,
and her advice and my efforts have paid off. I have been on over a dozen radio
shows in the last 6 months. One of the most recent shows I did to promote my
book was an interview via SKYPE with Norene Balovitch for her show "Do You

Norene contacted me and told me that listeners of the show were hearing many
EVPs talking over me when I was being interviewed. The chat room went crazy
and was filled with posts written in the German language! She sent a draft of
some of the EVPs and what they said were horrific! There was direct spectral
interaction with our whole conversation during the show. Norene said her
computer acted crazy and her microphone was being tapped without explanation.
Her producer said they never had such an experience of ghostly interference
with a guest on her show! This video from that Sunday night's show went viral!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">My son, Chris, spent an hour
the next day listening and transcribing the show. He put his cell phone up to
his ear and listened to the archived show in order to make out the words. He
wrote down 70 EVPs!!! He was physically and mentally drained after doing this. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">He did not know what the
other person had copied down and had been sent to Norene. She sent me some of
the translations of the German posted in her chat room feed and it related to
what listeners heard. There was a man and woman with German accents who were
talking over me, saying horrific things about the Holocaust and so much of the foul
language were threats directed at me. As it turned out my son’s EVPs matched many
of hers! I guess the ghosts are angry that I published this book! Guess what
ghosts? Heads up! I'm writing the sequel!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Classically trained as a fine artist, Anita Jo Intenzo
graduated with honors from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia,
earning a B.S. Degree in Art Education. She taught art classes at day and
evening schools for 25 years. Her paintings currently hang in collections
throughout the United States, and she has had several gallery shows. She
started restoring old photos over 35 years ago and created her business, Past
Images by Anita in 2000 where she preserves and restores family treasures:
photos, paintings and antique dolls, so that their history will endure for
future generations. Genealogical and historical societies seek her out for her
expert consultations, lectures and appraisals.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In January of 2009, her life took a dramatic turn when,
as executrix of a dear friend’s estate, she became involved with the
paranormal. As executrix, she was responsible for clearing his house and
selling it. It did not take long after she began that task that Anita
experienced real and often-frightening poltergeist activity there and soon
began confronting true evil. She wrote this book as she was moved and
profoundly changed by the experiences. She is now working on its terrifying
sequel, DARK TRANSFERENCE.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anita lives
with her family and several resident ghosts, in the Philadelphia suburbs, on a
property dating back to the early 1800’s.</span></div>

guest post is by Hunter Shea, one of the rising stars in the field of horror
fiction. He’s written several great novels and novellas that every horror fan
must read. If you like fun stories with scary monsters and creepy ghosts, I
highly recommend you check out the books of Hunter Shea. Here, he’s talking
about his latest thriller,</span> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Montauk-Monster-Hunter-Shea/dp/0786034750/ref=sr_1_1_title_1_mas?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1402421384&sr=1-1&keywords=the+montauk+monster" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">The Montauk Monster</span></a><span style="color: #3d85c6;">,</span></i> <span style="color: #6fa8dc;">which just released in time for the summer.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Have
you heard the one about the Everglades skunk apes who got a writer a two-book
thriller deal? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Sounds
insane, right? Even more so because it’s true. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">My
debut thriller, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Montauk Monster</i>,
came about as strangely as the cryptids that descend on a Long Island town in
the book. It’s funny how one set of creatures led to a breakneck tale of
another. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Here’s
how it went down and how you just never know where life will take you. A couple
of years ago, I was watching a marathon of the show <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bar Rescue</i>. My editor at Samhain, the legendary Don D’Auria,
emailed me around midnight to ask if I had any novellas I’d like to publish. Of
course, I didn’t, but in a flash I had this idea about a Bigfoot novel set in
the Everglades. Yeah, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bar Rescue</i>
marathons and lack of sleep make for great creative inspiration. Don said to go
for it, and I set to writing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">A
month later, I turned in my manuscript, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swamp
Monster Massacre</i>, a love note to the B monster movies I loved and still
adore. SMM is filled with a family of angry skunk apes intent on murdering a
band of hapless humans who crashed their airboat in the deep of the Everglades.
The book is a hell of a lot of twisted fun and has been my most popular to
date. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Flash
forward to the following year. I get an email from a guy who says he’s an
editor. Apparently, he was trolling for ‘new talent’ and had loaded up his
kindle with hundreds of ebooks. When all was said and done, he said SMM was the
one that stood out and he wanted to know if I’d be interested in working with
him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now,
at first, I thought this was some kind of scam. So, I checked him and his
company out. Oh, he was legit all right. I replied that I was interested, and
we got to talking. The man made me laugh and we found out we shared the same
love for Roger Corman, Irwin Allen and loads of other stuff. Again, I was asked
if I had any ideas for a thriller. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
had recently been looking at pictures of supposed Montauk Monsters, strange
animal carcasses that have been washing up on the shores of Long Island, NY. I
quickly hashed a story concept together. To my amazement, he loved it and we
were off to the races. To convince the senior editors in the project, he even
printed pictures of the corpses and articles! And sure enough, I not only got the
deal, but a two-book deal. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Right
away, I started working on the book, powering through it, creating non-stop
action with plausible backstories. It was a challenge and a thrill. Best of
all, the whole thing was an unexpected gift from above. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now
here it is, already listed as <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Publisher Weekly’s</i> </a>top reads for summer and in a second
printing before the first copy hit the shelves. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">And
it’s all because of those lovable, murderous skunk apes. Who knew? As R.L.
Stine told me (along with the crowd of other writers who paid to hear him),
never say no. That proposal you take on could be the one that changes your
life. </span></div>
