IDES OF MARCH - BY TERRI DELCAMPO


 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PLPWZR3/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i117


The Ides of March is known worldwide for disasters occurring on it – the murder of Julius Caesar, a raid on South England in 1360, a cyclone in Samoa in 1889, Czar Nicholas abdicating his throne in 1917, German occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939, Great Plains blizzard in 1941, cancellation of the Ed Sullivan Show in 1971, reporting of the disappearing ozone layer in 1988, world health alert about the disease SARS in 2003.

Of course, Owl's Nest being Owl's Nest, it has its own take on Ides of March.

Read Ides Of March, by Terri DelCampo, for a truly different addition to Ides of March happenings. You'll be glad you did.

RED SURF - BY BLAZE MCROB


 https://www.patreon.com/posts/red-surf-42267817

https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob


Red Surf, a short story by Blaze McRob, is a tale of revenge, triggered by incidents that could have, in real life, led to tragic results for many people. The book description sets it up nicely.

******

Once known for romance,

This place turns into a bloody dance;

In the tempo of disease

On an island no one leaves.

******

To add even more of a reason to check out my tale, I have included a short teaser below.

******

There is just a sliver of a moon tonight, barely enough to show the surf for what it is. Others like me stare out into the gently rippling waters, the hunger in our bellies driving us mad from the ravenous urge to seek out more prey. But one cannot eat what is not there.

Maybe . . .  just maybe if I wade out into the red surf one more time there will be a morsel overlooked from before.

Others beat me to it, but it is all for naught. The blood-stained waters are barren. We saw to that earlier. Santa Catalina. The old song beats a wild staccato in my head. No, this is no longer an island of romance. Leave me alone, damn it! 

But it doesn't leave me alone. Over and over again the words assault me. How can there be romance without people? There can't. This is insanity. Everything is insanity now. 4,000 residents of this island are either now dead or like me. Maybe I'd be better off dead.

The old clay and metal pipes which wore away long ago allowed human sewage to flow into the city's groundwater and eventually into Avalon Bay. Over the years the bacteria deposits grew and gained entry into the bodies of those tending the beaches. Day after day we were assaulted without even knowing it.

The fecal bacteria inside my body tear at me, changing me more and more from what once was a human to whatever it is I am now. Chunks of flesh have fallen away from me, leaving boils and pockets of pus. My hair is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, joining with my departed flesh as it becomes litter on the beach, further desecrating it.

******

Red Surf, and much more, can be found on my Patreon page. You'll find a welcome home there.

Happy reading!

TASMANIAN DEVILS ENDANGERED - BY TERRI DELCAMPO - ON FINE ART AMERICA

 


https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/terri-delcampo?tab=about

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/tasmanian-devils-endangered-terri-delcampo.html

Tasmanian Devils Endangered is a drawing by Terri DelCampo which was uploaded on July 2nd, 2023 on Fine Art America. 

From Terri DelCampo:

There is so much magnificent beauty in nature, from vast land- and seascapes to tiny one-celled amoebas, not to mention millions of animal species, that I hardly know where to begin drawing. I've started with personal favorites, but I'm also working on wildlife that is on the endangered species list, in an effort to draw attention to the work we need to do to help our planet restore itself.

While creating book covers and illustrations for writing projects, I began branching out into abstract art drawings and paintings. With environmental causes close to my heart, I create the abstract drawings on recycled cardboard (i.e., cereal, pasta, cracker boxes and packaging), and call it my 'Trash to Art' collection. I'm offering art inspired by my novels, poetry, articles, and Owl's Eye View dark fiction magazine, including character sketches, illustrations, and book cover art. I've done artwork for Blaze McRob's 'Paranormal Posse' stories on Patreon, and hope to include some of those here as well. There's also an illustrated memoir project looming in my near future, and the art will no doubt migrate to this venue. I got comfortable with colored pencil but am beginning to dabble in watercolor and acrylic. I love the wildlife in my yard and it's flowing into my art. I will upload work here at least weekly, so please follow me and check for new releases here on fineartamerica.com often.

GUMSHOE CONFUSION: CHAPTER ONE

 


https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob


For those of you who enjoy noir detective novels, I have included chapter one of GUMSHOE CONFUSION for your reading pleasure. This is a completed novel that is only available on my Patreon page. 

To read the novel in its entirety, go to https://www.patreon.com/posts/total-chapter-81340961

Thank you, and happy reading.

Blaze McRob

******

The lights from the street below send their patterns of fluorescent confusion into my office. How's a gumshoe supposed to sleep in the midst of this? Yeah, right: as if I have a choice.

My former flat belongs to some highfalutin dame now. All my belongings were confiscated and sold for non-payment of that little necessity needing to be paid, but one I wasn't able to chalk up the scratch for: rent.

Okay! Times were tough. The number of wives wanting their cheating husbands tailed had dwindled to nothing. What, like the scorned bimbos didn't need what I could offer? Pictures, times, dates: everything there for the black-robed ones to drool over as they decided how much the poor faithful ball and chains would get.

So I drowned a few sorrows with hooch I couldn't afford and dames I should have stayed away from. You know the ones. They cozy up to you in a dive they shouldn't be in, sitting on a stool next to your sorrowful butt, waiting for you to light their smokes, buy their drinks, and everything else that makes you think that maybe you still have something left to offer. Next thing you know, you're in their apartment, sharing a lot more than booze and smokes.

Sure, it feels good. It always feels good, but in the morning when you get up to leave and look at the pictures in their gilded frames, you realize you're no better than the cheating studs who think they can tap whatever they want and still keep wifey happy. Turns out: you're the one keeping her happy, playing the slap and tickle game, being used like the dog you are.

The smoke from my Chesterfield rises towards the ceiling, catching the glow of the streets below and dancing about in the changing air currents caused by the drafty windows. The office lights are off, but it doesn't matter, does it? Light from below and the ever-changing pulsing staccato from the sign on the roof a block away that can't decide if it wants to light up the sky or shoot its presence down into hell are what keep the darkness out.

I reach into my top right desk drawer and grab a bottle of Scotch. Okay, it's not the good stuff, but it's not bad straight up. Hmm. Maybe that's what kind of dog I am: a Scottish Hellhound, straight from off the moors, chasing innocent broads around. Yeah, right! There are no innocent broads. They want the same things guys want; they just don't admit it.

Tipping my fedora back and putting my feet up on my desk, I try to find a position that maybe I can get comfortable in. Fall asleep perhaps. I put out my finished smoke in the ashtray and figure maybe one more to relax me before I doze off. Halfway through and there's a knocking on my door.

NIGHT OPS, by Terri DelCampo is a total mind-fuck of a story. It is pure psychological horror the whole way. This is definitely one of my favorite stories that she has written. She holds nothing back. Just remember: some people are not to be trifled with. There will be consequences.

FLASH IN THE PAN - BY TERRI DELCAMPO

Flash In The Pan is one Terri DelCampo's great short stories. I love how Terri keeps the reader more involved in the story with her styling of warnings throughout the tale, alerting the protagonists about things to do and not to do as the story progresses. She pulls this off well. Naturally, as I read the story, I was on the lookout for more clues to what was inevitable, but which actually wasn't. This brought about a paradox of facts and solutions to every twist and turn. Nothing is cast in stone in this story. This is a most intriguing tale.

BLAZE MCROB'S PATREON PAGE

 


https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob

Blaze McRob's Patreon page came out three years ago in October, just in time for that most magic month of the year for horror stories. I have a picture above showing a caption of my one and only tier on Patreon. I priced this at $3.00 per month so that people who love the horror genre can get a lot of bang for their buck.  

When I started out on Patreon I wrote:

"I’m a rather diverse writer. Some of my fans refer to me as being the King of Revenge Horror. Others know me for my action stories. Both are right. Add in many other strange quirks and traits and you’ll find a writer who is not bound by any constraints. Horror has always been my first love. At the age of nine, I had already consumed everything written by the great Edgar Allan Poe. So naturally, I will fill my Patreon page with many short stories of the dark, serial fiction novels, flash fiction, Father Blaze Nursery Rhymes, zombie fairy tales, horror poetry, science fiction, and more. There will be untold hours of escapism found in my eclectic tales.

There will be no non-fiction editorials on my page. I would be just another voice crying out in the wilderness. I want none of that. I will deal with whatever issues attack my gray matter the way I know best: using my story people to handle the evil running around on this spinning rock of ours from deep within my soul. My system. It works for me.

Every month, I will have at least a mix of thirty stories, novel chapters, or my other fiction. Everything I post here will not be available to read anywhere else. This place is for my loyal fans and patrons. All this for only $3.00 a month.

All my writings will remain exclusive to Patreon for at least three months after their posting. After that time period, I might make them available for sale elsewhere. However, I will not remove any of my tales from Patreon. My Patrons will still be able to read everything here. And, believe me, that's a lot of reading."

******

Since writing the above, I have added a serialized non-fiction book about running which I'm still adding to, some fantasy, and some totally outrageous novels. So far I have twelve completed novels on Patreon, of which six are exclusive there. I also have one completed novella, four completed novelettes, and hundreds of short stories. I'm also working on seven more novels, novellas, and novelettes. 

Thank you for your time. I hope you'll visit my Patreon page and like what you see. My posts will be coming fast and furious! Come along for the ride. You'll find a welcome home here.

Lest they be rattling their crib rails.

These fairy scairies from Blaze's quill

Send up your spine the iciest of chills.

So tuck yourself in but leave on the light…

Get ready for Blaze's tales of fright.

******

Here's a short teaser for this book:

******

There was once a wealthy man who lost his wife and remarried in haste. His second wife was a shrew, so proud and haughty that within a short time he realized his mistake, but the deed was done. Worse than that, she brought into his fine house two daughters who were just like her.

Ah, but his own daughter, a lovely lass, as beautiful on the inside as the outside, was made to feel inferior by the stepmother and her two beautiful but persnickety daughters. The new mistress of the mansion saw fit to have her do all the work that a scullery maid would normally do, while her daughters had not to lift a finger to help around the house. They gave her the name Cinderella because when her work was done, she had to sit amongst the ashes.

But Cinderella did not tell her father what was happening because she realized he was being controlled by his domineering wife and did not wish to cause him any more hardship.

And it came to be that the King’s son gave a series of balls to which the finest in the kingdom would come. There was a longing in his heart to find a proper woman that he might come to love, for even though royal blood flowed through his veins, he was lonely and desperately wanted a love to call his own.

So, it was that her stepsisters should be invited to the biggest ball of all and had Cinderella, who was a Master of Fine taste, assist them in preparing their clothes and hair for the grand event. Even though the two bickered amongst themselves constantly, Cinderella managed to bedeck them in the finest clothing and coiffures imaginable, and they soon left in their carriage, but not before teasing their stepsister that she was not going to the ball.

The pain of doing everything in her power to make her stepsisters look so grand while she had to remain home in her dusty enclave caused her to break down and cry as she was sitting on the edge of the hearth.

“And what might be wrong, my sweet lass?”

Cinderella stared into the face of a short, disheveled woman with raggedy wings. Her face was covered with boils and peeling flesh. Truth be told, she appeared to be on death’s door, but in spite of it all, her disposition was cheery.

“And who . . . and who might you be?” Cinderella asked, shocked at the very presence of this woman.

The woman laughed. “Why, I am your Fairy Godmother.”

“But you look almost like you are dead.”

“Ah, my dear, I am dead, but I am not dead.”

AGAIN, DAMN IT! - BY BLAZE MCROB



https://www.patreon.com/posts/again-damn-it-49372063

https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob

 

Again, Damn It!, by Blaze McRob, is a full-length, real-life horror novel. I use a bare-knuckled approach all the way through it. From the very beginning, the tone of the novel is set.

This novel is exclusive to my Patreon page. You'll find a welcome home there.

Here is a short snippet from the first chapter:

******

I look across the vast room and see him sitting there. Alone. Staring out into space as if he's the only one here. But he's not alone. There are at least 200 boys in this dining area. Within himself, he's the only one present. He's lost there, still unaware of what's going on, why he's in this place, what lead him here. Two years old and James is totally confused.

Greg is taking it better than James. He's acclimating himself to what's around him. Blending in. As much as one can, considering the circumstances. This room of silence seems to fit him. How the people running this joint keep it this quiet is beyond me. Then again, maybe not so. They rule with an iron fist here. We play by their rules, or there are consequences.

Me? I'm just pissed. That's the best way to describe how I'm feeling.

Where’s Betty? Is she in the girls’ building? Maybe she’s with mom and dad, wherever they are. She’s just a baby, way too young to be here.

******

The day I arrived here was total confusion. I was walking up the outdoor stairs to our little apartment in Hackensack, having just walked there from school, and they were waiting for me on the landing. Two old women and a big guy. I was confused and started running back down the stairs, but the guy was a lot faster than me and had his hands on my shirt collar before I made it a few steps down.

“You’re coming with us,” he said.

"What’s going on?” I asked.

“You’ll find out later.”

“Let me get some clothes, at least.”

He laughed. “You won’t get anything out of there, kid. It’s been cleaned out. Nobody, or thing, is in there.

No answers to my questions. This was to be the start of that. I would be in a continual state of darkness as to what was going on around me. It was up to me to figure things out.

******

Happy reading, my friends!

Damn the dark! The power’s out again. I can’t see a thing. Wait. I have a pair of night goggles I’ve been playing around with sitting on the table next to the bed.

I put them on and am amazed at how well they work. Too bad I didn’t have these when I was in ‘Nam. Night blindness might be a much lesser curse than a lot of other things, but when you’re in the midst of battle it sure is nice to be able to see your enemy.

The night goggles are one of many new toys my wife and I have been experimenting with. Even though the middle of the road candidate won the election this year, I know hot beds of fascism will rear their ugly heads. Shit, we’re already living in a police state. Why people deny it makes no sense to me. Liberty after liberty is vanishing in the country. Terri - my wife - and I are ready for it. We have weapons, shooting range expertise, and more to combat it if it comes. Yes, we’re only two people, but, if the shit hits the fan, we will be prepared. At the worst, we won’t go out without a battle.

Happy reading, my friends.
