3 More Authors Worth Checking Out
Books by George Geisinger:
Sorting out one's thoughts in a day of extreme mental confusion. This short story covers the history of man who had to fight his fight against, drug abuse, brain chemistry issues along with coming of age in the era of Woodstock. Poignant and concise reporting about surviving personal turmoil and being brave enough to record its effects on his soul. The man has taken away something meaningful about the sixties as he still has a spirit of giving. I would also read his other works as guide for showing how it is necessary for the careful watch on one's rebellious teenager and the effects of drugs.
Books by Elena DeRosa:
Marie's peaceful life in Virginia is shattered the moment she receives word from her brother: “I just got a call from a detective. Daddy’s dead.” Rushing to her family home in Brooklyn, New York, Marie seeks answers to her father’s mysterious death only to discover disturbing occurrences and encounter acts of betrayal. After her questions are amplified and suspicions confirmed surrounding her father’s ex-girlfriend, Marie becomes frustrated by how oblivious so many had been, and continue to be, to the wily con-artist.
Inheriting her father’s scheming ex-girlfriend becomes a journey Marie never imagined she’d be forced to travel.
Written as memoir, “Fractured Facade” is a cautionary tale for anyone concerned about a parent after the loss of their spouse. The survivor, often thrust into an unfamiliar world, finds it quite different from the dating scene of their youth; one where some create facades to mask their true intentions. Sadly, loneliness can cause an otherwise intelligent person to behave foolishly.
“Fractured Facade” is the tale of a father’s death, a daughter’s life, and a sociopath’s vendetta.
Books by Rick Carufel:
While performing research for a master's thesis at Brown University, Brian Metcalf finds more than darkness behind closed eyelids. Astral realms intent upon unleashing unspeakable evil attempt to use him as a pawn in their struggle to open a portal to this world. It's happened before to others. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, "If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. Whoever battles monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster."

Editing my second book in the SOTF series - The Closest Enemy
I've started editing the second in the SOTF series, and I'm quite pleased with what I'm reading. Of course there are over 3million typos, the story tends to stray, the characters are not consistent, and a few times I've shifted dialogue so fast I don't even know who's saying what...but other than that, I really did a good job. LOL
At least I laugh and don't break into sobbing.

Dark Place Entry 2
Having a great amount of
emotion can really help a writer. It allows
us to give our characters personalities.
We understand being cold, bitter, angry, loving, happy, thoughtful,
provocative, etc., but there’s a feeling that I always think I have more than
anyone else, sadness.
I don’t know what it is about
weekends, but they are not good for me. I
try to do everything to keep myself busy, to keep my mind from wandering back
over the depressing thoughts. Nothing
works.
Ok, so I’m seeing a doctor, a
therapist, I’m seeking advice from people I know, I’m trying everything I can
to change this ache inside. I’m alone,
all alone, no matter what people say, or think, I’m alone. I don’t have people calling or texting; I don’t
have people asking how I feel, or what’s wrong.
Just one person asks those questions, me.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I’m
an emotional person. I’m glad I have
feelings and that I actually do care about people, including people I don’t
even know and haven’t even met. I just
wish the depression wasn’t a part of me.
It’s becoming a burden to have to carry with me each day. Honestly, it’s a heavy weight.
I haven’t left my house since
December. Oh, I go to work, but basically,
nowhere else. And if I do go somewhere,
it takes a lot of strength. And as I said
earlier, I am trying to get help. I just
hope someone out there will know how to help someone like me who is so far
gone. I’m a recluse. I’m scared.
Whenever you see me online,
just know that I’m trying to push the darkness behind me. Even communication with people across the
internet is good for me, good for my mental health. I just wish I had a friend who could be here
with me. I wish I had someone to share
things with, to laugh with, to go to dinner with, to just take a ride in the
car.
Tomorrow will give me a
little more relief. It’s Monday, I’ll go
back to work. I’ll be around
people. And for five days I’ll be able
to wear the face I’m supposed to. But
the one thing I should be looking forward to, the weekend, is my
nightmare. That’s when I go back to
being alone.

not to go with them."Fear!"is a novel from Steven Nedelton who tells
of a future where mankind is falling apart and oppression is the name of the
day. One family tries to hang onto their humanity, as Nedelton tells their
endeavor to stay together and stay united in a miserable world.

considering."
Books by Lily Childs:
A terrifying collection of short horror stories by dark
fiction author Lily Childs. These forty-three offerings comprise eleven long
tales, including the previously unpublished:
- SMILING CYRUS - dancing dolls of death in your attic
- IN ADORATION - demonic rebirth, revenge and new skin
- STARING AT THE PINK - when the dead don't let go
Studded and stitched together by shorter pieces and tiny
100-word drabbles this first volume of Cabaret of Dread ends with:
- THE INFANTA TRIPTYCH - living, dying art - breathing,
pulsing... ancient.
"Extreme vampire horror."
Words spill from the babbling mouths of demons and murderers
throughout Cabaret of Dread, combining fear and even humour as the reader
encounters serial killers and ghosts, historical entities and psychopaths, not
to mention a scuttling vampire or two.
Cabaret of Dread is extreme horror FOR ADULTS ONLY. Ethereal
and spiritual elements battle with the visceral and the insane; lustful
adoration dallies with laboured, lingering death. The Cabaret will shock, it
may well offend. But it is beautiful – at least in the author’s mind - and
that’s where the darkness lies.
Books by Fiona
Johnson:
Crime doesn't just happen in the city and after being
violently attacked and tied up, Gordon Campbell's peaceful existence delivering
fish to his customers in a picturesque Argyll village is about to change
forever.
