A collection of seemingly unrelated short stories, all bound together with common themes and symbolism to tell a bigger story of love, life, loss and the occasional dead hooker. Some stories are not for the faint of heart and others are for those of a big heart, these are The Beer Chronicles.

Constance Tierney has a past so terrible that she has the physical scars to reminder her, but no memories to explain them. After she commits an irrational act of betrayal at work, she knows she has to confront that obscured past. As a mathematician and computer engineer she is confident she can figure out the secrets of her childhood and put her life back into order. When she returns to the now-deserted mansion her family shared, she discovers that those hidden secrets have lingered and taken on a life of their own. Remembering what the tortured child inside her had hidden will be the easy part of conquering the demons that remain.

Detective Gugel has spent years in the South American jungle and is an initiated shaman. He is especially devoted to peyote. Peyote, which along with his shamanistic-yogic training, gives him certain “powers.” He sees the everyday world as merely the foyer that leads into a gigantic spiritual arena where “real” reality exists. A woman has been napalmed to death in her driveway in Grimore Park, a wealthy suburb north of Chicago and Gugel is called in on the case. The case takes Gugel to East Lansing, Michigan, where he begins his investigation and ultimately learns the murdered woman was a diabolical monster with evil plans for all who crossed her path.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR DETROIT MACABRE"Joseph Williams rolls out a creepy and subversive collection of tales in DETROIT MACABRE. Offbeat and disturbingly delicious." - Jonathan Maberry, Stoker Award-winner and NY Times Bestselling author of The King of Plagues, Patient Zero, and Dust and Decay."From Cobo Hall to the Cass Corridor, Joseph Williams knows Detroit and the voices of the damned that haunt its alleyways.

Detroit Macabre

Williams, Joseph

In the 1955 film The Night of the Hunter, greedy self-ordained minister, Reverend Harry Powell, portrayed by Robert Mitchum, kills women and terrorizes children. The hackneyed expression that truth is stranger than fiction, in this case, is not hyperbole. On a small farm in Quiet Dell, eight miles southeast of Clarksburg, West Virginia, two middle-aged women and three children were starved and murdered in the summer of 1931. The five bodies recovered were only intended to be a beginning. Others were scheduled for the abattoir. Meet Harry Powers, also known as Bluebeard, Mail Order Romeo/Don Juan, Slaughterhouse Harry, Human Tarantula, and Love Racketeer, one of the most enigmatic and until now, unstudied, sociopaths of the 20th century.

Dark Doorways: The Best of Post Mortem Press

Psychosis can single-handedly ruin everything about you in the blink of an eye.  Your mind is  broken into pieces; shattered from the inside out.  Your thoughts race and spiral out of control.  It is as though someone else' mind has taken control of your own.  You are no longer yourself.  You are no longer anyone.  You are no longer a part of this world.You could believe that you have supernatural powers, or that the laws of the universe simply do not apply to you.  You could believe that you are a world famous musician, an accomplished scholar or that your private helicopter is about to pick you up from the roof of the psychiatric hospital.Rarely do we ever get a glimpse inside the mind of someone suffering psychosis.  This is likely because it is such a terrifying ordeal that most do not wish to, or have the energy to, live through it again by writing about it. But Chris Curry knew that as soon as the 'bullet-proof door closed in the Bubble Room, the orderlies held me down, the needle went in and the straightjacket was affixed' that he was in the midst of a story that needed to be told.Completely in Blue: Dispatches from the Edge of Insanity gives you a bird's eye view into the series of unfathomable events that led up to his ultimate psychiatric hospitalization of three months.  He leads you on an adventure into the extreme capabilities of the human mind, and shows you how extensive drug abuse can lead you from a nice, laid back musician to a ravaged, violent and escape-prone criminal in a matter of months. Enter into Chris' shattered mind as he slowly becomes convinced that he is a world-famous musician, starts a riot in his former high school, sells drugs for biker gangs, spends his nights dealing MDMA in seedy strip clubs, lights himself on fire with Bacardi 151, repeatedly gets detained by the police and is ultimately taken into custody at gun point after escaping from psychiatric custody."Sex, drugs and rock and roll meet the mental health 'system.;  For anyone who takes sanity for granted, this insanely self-revealing memoir will rock your world.  Highly recommended."  Dr. Paul Fedoroff, M.D. Chair, University of Ottawa Division of Forensic Psychiatry.Although this book does provide an inside look into the broken mind of an 18-year old, it is ultimately about recovery.  The slow, often painful rise up from a broken existence that even those closest to him feared that he wouldn't survive.Curry now works as a public speaker, mental health stigma blogger and mental health and addictions counselor and through his life's work has proven that no matter how dire the circumstances are, recovery is always possible."Ultimately, this is indeed a story of recovery, one that inspires optimism no matter how long or difficult that journey might be... This book should be required reading for high school and post-secondary social science programs and valued as a guide by mental health practitioners committed to eliminating the stigma of mental illness." - Dr. Pamela Prince, Director - Strategic Planning and Evaluation, The Royal According to Dr. Gabor Mate, the pioneer of the safe-injection site in Vancouver's Downtown East Side and award-winning author, it is a "very personal and wrenching description of mental illness.  Very honest; very vividly written."If you, or someone you love, is suffering from mental illness or addiction, this book is a must-read.You can contact follow Chris @CognitiveChris
