American Nightmare [Kindle Edition]
George Cotronis (Editor
It’s the 1950s. There’s always something good on the radio, cherry red Cadillacs cruise the streets and everything is always perfect. Marilyn is still alive and the War is over. America goes to bed, nuclear annihilation postponed another day.
Welcome to the American Nightmare.
Nuclear families dabbling in the occult. Little League games in the summer, old blood spilled in the dust. Unspeakable things hiss and crawl, unseen along the 38th parallel, camouflaged under muzzle flashes. This is what happens behind the white picket fences and waving flags.
Praise for American Nightmare:
“Buried in the nostalgia and innocence of bygone days, American Nightmare is a riveting collection of dark stories that leaves the big-block motor running, as we sneak into a deserted alley to huff on a Pall Mall, our hair slicked back, a switchblade clicking open as the shadows close in around us. Behind a closed door, away from the manicured lawn, the music continues—guitar licks and a back beat that just won’t quit—drowning out the screams, as we pull the blinds down, wash off our tentacles, and cinch our masks on tight.”

ART [Kindle Edition]
WARNING: The following book has some scenes which some readers may find distressing. This novel is intended for a mature audience only.
Martin Andrews is in a rut. Tired of the daily grind of life as a police officer and with a heavily pregnant wife, he is disillusioned, desperate to give his unborn child a chance in a world in which he has lost all faith.
Little does Andrews know that amid the petty crimes and muggings, robbery and prostitution, a new threat is looming, one which will push Andrews to the very edges of his sanity.
His nemesis is a man without limits. A man with a grand idea for a great work; a masterpiece which will give him the recognition he craves, no matter the cost.
From the minds of Matt Shaw (Sick B*stards, Happy Ever After, The Cabin) & Michael Bray (Whisper, Funhouse, MEAT) comes ART. Told from the viewpoint of both killer (Shaw) and Detective (Bray), ART is a journey into the darkest, most twisted part of the human psyche.
Two authors. One ending.

What whispers at night when your heads filled with slumber. The deepest, the darkest, the tales from down under. If you wonder and guess and think it all through Who knows what fascinations would be mindful to you. The mind knows no boundary, the brain knows it all but what if a Whisperling would come and take all.
The Whisperling: The Spirit of the Gods [Kindle Edition]
An earlier history of man reveals the Celestros, an ancient class of celestial beings as a ruling force. They reside high above the grip of horror that now covers the earth. Evil magic, necromancy and murder have become commonplace and now run rampant through the Shadowland’s. Now nothing here is as it appears. In an attempt to help the humans, the Celestros choose to embed the Spirits of the Gods into selected humans. These men and women displayed significant expanded six senses; this made them almost god-like. The demi-gods became jealous; they felt humans were too inferior for such an honorable gift.
The Celestros send Samael to stop the annihilation of the human race, but his presence, like every man, woman and child living in the Shadowlands was not welcomed.
Samael discovers members of his own Order are trying to get him removed from Celestros. Samael, now has to face conspiracy, treachery and deceit; from a group he once called his family.
The Celestros strip Samael’s powers. His fate sealed, his downfall facilitated by the shape-shifting Brothers of Blood.Samael vows revenge. The Brothers of Blood kidnap and torture Samael. They demand Samael joins them and threaten him, using his children as bait against a zombie threat. Samael is reluctant to join the traitors and he is in fact, deceived about their plan.
A Whisper-ling child befriends Samael daughter Ishira. Both Samael’s children are tricked, Nick by curiosity, Ishira by a friendly face. They are lost from their family and confined to the Darklands. The Whisperling, transformed by magic is and transported to the 21st century, where she dispenses her special kind of torment and horror to an unsuspecting human race… The world is her oyster.
