A grand epic wasteland of surreal pandemic plague. Pollution quotient in the southern delta nether regions of the state of Louisiana, the dustbin of the Mississippi river and the nation, whose motto is the "Sportsman's Paradise" but is a paradise of colorful denizens all grappling for a slice of lassez bon temps roule, "let the good times roll", but now all are grappling for their very lives. Nature had to fight back sooner or later, and now what will happen to this tourist state gone amuck with middle-ages plague?

<p>When a young man with dreams of becoming a famous pianist turns to the Occult for help, his fabulous ability brings him pain, just as the spirit whose gifts he usurped ominously warned it would. He is not the first victim, but can he survive being the last? Because hell does not discriminate in the minds it ravages...or how many lives it claims.</p>

Rachmaninoff's Ghost

This fine collection of short fiction, plus novella, are a nostalgic return to childhood when we all had innocence, faith and imagination.  Decades have passed with the writing of these varied tales--some written in the mid 1980s, some more recent--all of them fascinating in their own way.  While reading, you'll be picked up and dropped straight into your own history while visiting various, imaginary neighborhoods and worlds.  What an amazing pageant of dates, details and déja vu in this collection!  We glimpse a carnival that set up camp in a small town--here today, gone tomorrow--leaving behind a list of missing children.  We enter a bizarre junk store filled with truly 'impossible' things.  We experience a fish tale about discovery and loss--a slice of life wrought with childhood disappointment, yet a grain of promise.  We're questioned, "If you could bring back a famous person from the dead, whom would it be?"  And we're then reminded, be careful what you wish for.  We accompany a guy named Rick in a downward spiral toward insanity--or is he right, and the world has taken cloning to a point beyond the extreme?  We read on and shudder to ourselves:  don't mess with them video manipulators!  Then comes a tale with a question and a twist ending--Will Daddy show up to take you to Disneyland?I thoroughly enjoyed every story in this collection, but my favorite would have to be the novella, "Aliens and Minibikes"--a story about a neighborhood and some very believable boys and girls.  It's a science fiction and puberty cocktail, that first amused me, pulled me in, then scared me.  Won't tell you the ending, but it was good! I recommend this collection.  You won't be sorry you read it.  It's nostalgia at its finest.

Aliens, Minibikes and Other Staples of Suburbia

Silver Lake Pub

Two horrific tales to delight Korn lovers. In "The White Trash Witches Coven", Keith Ogden accidentally meets a witch in a Super-Usav-Mart. When she invites him to join the coven, he accepts, thinking of evil sorceries and dances with the devil. The gaggle of chatty women he encounters severely disappoints, with their baby pictures, recipes, and addictions to trashy afternoon TV. Is this "coven" just a group of wannabes, or is something more sinister lurking underneath the chicken grease? In "Pavane for a Scream Queen", Jeff Vincent, freelance writer for Filmland Magazine and as-of-yet-undiscovered novelist, has landed the interview of a lifetime with cult favorite Aurora Sterling, scream queen of the 1950's classic B-movies. But when Dame Aurora cancels and those who worked with her die or go into hiding, Jeff finds himself in the middle of a mystery. What is the secret behind this gorgeous, elegant woman? Is it just Hollywood hype, or something else much older and eternal?
