Terri DelCampo has some great holiday horror for your ooky palate. Chills has eight stories that will show you a different side of the holiday season. Terri has a charming way about her that will draw you in with mellow prose but will slap you alongside the head too. The one-two punch. Loverly.

So, my friends, once the kids have gone to sleep, slide Chills onto your Kindle, put a spiffy nightcap on, and read away. You'll be glad you did.

Book description:

Santa F-bombs heard only by some.

From where in the forest should Christmas trees come?

Will Christians to Morningstar be lost?

Who'll win the bet, Vulcan or Frost?

Christmas Eve miracle for a small child.

South Pole festivities horribly wild.

Good kids onto naughty list drift.

Naughty boy tempts hungry gifts.

Classic holiday ditties these stories are not.

But if you want ooky, a sleighful I've got!

Here's a great review from Wendy Howard!

Witty holiday stories that are delightfully gruesome and chilling. A quick read that entertains start to finish. My favorite story takes Christmas trees to a new level of creative horror.

DINA RAE - WOMAN IN HORROR

Dina Rae is my Woman In Horror today! A lot of her novels deal with what is written in the Book of Enoch. I have a distinct fascination for the book and was very impressed not only with Dina's research but the manner in which she writes her chilling tales. I won't get into a discussion of my religious beliefs or non-beliefs, it's no one's business but mine, but I honestly believe the folks who threw the books of the Bible together flat-out goofed by not including Enoch. 

Dina Rae is always encouraging other horror writers, giving pep talks, kind words about authors' books, and the sort. There is no aloofness to this lady. She is a class act all the way. I find it particularly intriguing that she is a Christian and is still able to write of the Dark. But then again, is there not the Light and the Dark? Dina is able to shake away some of the established precepts saying that a Christian should not believe in the things she believes in. She is able to because she does the research and finds the answers. And one of her biggest sources of information is the Bible. This is not a statement about religion from my pen. The point I wish to make is that it is possible to maintain your beliefs and still think objectively. Dina Rae does that.

Dina is a master at her craft, an inspiration for all writers regardless of gender, and a super lady!

I want to take a moment here and explain that Dina delves into research - hard, factual research - not only about Angels, Nephilim, and the human touch, but she also goes to great lengths to discuss her theories, which make a lot of sense to me, about other variants of horror such as Zombies. Many people have in their minds the stereotype of a virus-induced infection spreading around the world. This certainly makes for great storytelling, but what about the religion of Voodoo and its precepts. Were not necromancers stated as having the power to raise the dead, or perhaps those who were perceived to be dead? Me? With my schooling in the sciences, I believe a fungal form of disease rather than a virus to be a more viable possibility. The point I'm making is that Dina does not merely jump on the band wagon and write stories in the same manner as everyone else. She reads the facts and comes up with her own conclusions and writes them in a most convincing manner.

Dina's books are great because she wills them to be great. There is no rambling coming from an incoherent mind. Dina is an intelligent, schooled lady. I get angry at some of the reviewers who claim her books are too way out there. Excuse me. She writes fiction. Sure, there is a non-fiction base for much of what she writes, but any fiction writer worth her/his salt mixes the two. And who puts a limit on how far one can go? No one should have this power. Just like Catholics cry foul at me for removing the head of a Pope with a sword in one of my stories, it's fiction, people. Get a grip. For Free Masons to complain about Dina's writings tells me they need to get over themselves and their importance. Shove your secret crap up . . . Oh, oh. I pissed someone else off. The point I'm making is no religion or sect is all-knowing or all-powerful. Believe in what you believe and tolerate the rest of the world and their opinions.

I respect Dina very much and love her stories! I love to read of Angels, Dark as well as Light, demons, the Bible in a new light - not changing the text but opening one's mind to a different interpretation - and scientific explanations of what might be possibilities on this spinning rock we call home.

I bought my copy of Crown and Cabals and I love it! Dina is the Queen of Conspiracy Theories. This new novel by her talks about the New World Order. She spins quite a tale. Read the generous free sample on Amazon, and you'll see what I mean. Do you love secret society books? Do you love action? If you do, Purchase this tale. I highly recommend it. I give it 5 Blazing Stars!

Book description: 

Vigilantes stumble upon a cabal of world power.

Journalist Raphael King knows three things about New World Order. First, control the media. Check. Second, erase the world's borders. Check. Third, provoke a nuclear war. Check. Is it checkmate for the ultimate inner circle? 

In 2043 Raphael loses it all. He and sister-in-law Jaxie Nottingham refuse to sit back and watch the new world government unfold. They set up vigilante cells with the goal of disrupting anyone who benefits after the war. One of their targets leads them to a secret society created since the dawn of civilization.

Format: Kindle Edition|

I love this little short by Dina Rae! Be Paranoid Be Prepared tells us what to look out for in this world of uncertainty: hinting that perhaps the crap will hit the fan sooner than we wish. The author takes us on a behind the scenes adventure in a strip club gone crazy with great visuals, leading us along a path that James Bond would love to traverse. The way this story starts in the past, combining real life horror with present world conditions makes me want to read the next installment. NOW!

Welcome to Spirit County: Trick-or-Treat Thrillers Paranormal Westerns

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09RZMD8SN/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i8

THERE'S MORE THAN ONE KIND OF FRONTIER

You won't find the place on any map. It's somewhere else, hidden away in a wondrous parallel reality of mystery, awe and terror.

This both is and isn't the "Old West." They share the same stark and unforgiving terrain and exist in the same timeframe, primarily the 1800s. The people are generally the same hardy lot that left eastern society for reasons spread as wide as the open spaces they sought.

But there the similarities cease. In Spirit County, for example, death is often not the end but the beginning. Sometimes even the middle. Mythological creatures prove real . . . and deadly. Towns can disappear by daylight and return with the setting sun. And in that dark and turbulent dreamscape, where the rational mind can wind up gunned down in the street by its own fearful denial, there you will find that indeed there are frontiers far beyond the edge of not just human society but human comprehension. 

In Welcome to Spirit County, six writers take their shot and then pass the revolver, each aiming to punch a hole through the veil of the senses to a different and staggering reality. Mount up and follow them if you dare.

You don't want to miss Devil's Ridge, Dona Fox's great story in this collection!

Other Worlds - Volume 1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09YVCF15T/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p3_i2

There are many other worlds, most appear in fiction but how many are based on real life? How many could we access if we found the right way in, the right key, the right password? Other Worlds offers you a brief glimpse of possibilities of some of these strange, often dangerous, occasionally endearing worlds, where death walks on silent feet and the access to the world is capable of being closed - for how long...

Do Humanoids Breathe Electric Air? is Dona Fox's entry in this fascinating anthology. A must read!

******

Dona's Amazon bio:

 

Dona Fox writes short stories & poetry, mainly horror & dark fantasy infused with bits of science fiction. Coming from the Pacific Northwest, specters from the Northwest's forests, Portland's bridges & Seattle's streets often creep into her dark tales.

Denise N. Tapscott is my Woman In Horror today! She has written some fantastic books, promotes other authors, is an actress, and is part of one of the greatest podcasts around. There are plenty of links above that will take you into her special world, and I'll expound on some of them below.

First, let's get to Denise's great books.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MHD9YQ8/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0

GYPSY KISSES AND VOODOO WISHES is a great dark fantasy tale filled with suspense and horror.  

Book description:

Can any good transpire when Romani magic collides with Voodoo Magic?  For Grandmother Zenobia, the answer is unclear.

The year is 1890 in Carrefour Parish, Louisiana.  A Voodoo high priestess with a mysterious past, Grandmother Zenobia conceals her magical powers from her grandson Will. She wants him to have a "normal" family life, including savory Southern dinners and festive church gatherings. When Will reveals that he's in love with a girl named Syeira, Grandmother is overjoyed. In her excitement over a future wedding, Grandmother fails to find out a crucial piece information.  Syeira is not a New Orleans local, she's from the Camlo family.

On the other side of the bayou, Queen Patia Camlo, is furious when her daughter reveals her relationship with Will, who is not Romani. To the Camlo tribe, The Traveler way is the only way.  Desperate to put an end to their romance, Patia casts a spell so effective that even the great Grandmother Zenobia can't fix the damage it creates.

Grandmother Zenobia must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to retaliate against Patia, as well avenge her family, without losing her soul.

******

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W3PJ4MM/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i1

THE PRICE OF SALVATION is a charming thriller. This is Denise's first short story. She did a great job with this tale. 

Book description:Los Angeles socialite Rhoda Jurel is deathly ill. From herbalists to elite specialists, no one can determine the cause of her sickness. When visiting her friendly neighborhood psychic, she is warned that her only choice is to see Voodoo High Priestess Grandmother Zenobia. Join Rhoda on her path to finding the price of salvation, if you dare.

******

My review of this great short story is:

"Denise N. Tapscott knocks it out of the ball-park with her refreshing read The Price of Salvation! This short tale has horror, humor, and even history - all in the right places. Grandmother Zenobia is my favorite Voodoo High Priestess. She'll be yours, too!"

******

Denise's Amazon bio:

Denise was born and raised in California. She left her heart in San Francisco, but somehow managed to leave her soul in New Orleans. When she's not creating and cultivating her characters, she enjoys dining on spicy tuna rolls, sharing a bottle of red wine with friends and watching the latest flick (especially scary films). From time to time this radiant left-handed pirate will even challenge others to a fencing match or two. But, watch out. This Gemini is determined to win!

Often referencing her favorite quotes, below is Denise's favorite motto by Hans Christian Andersen:

"Just living is not enough...one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."

******

https://www.facebook.com/beefwineandshenanigans

Denise joins Marc Abbott, Kirk Johnson, and Steven Van Patten on the great podcast Beef, Wine And Shenanigans where they discuss some great stuff. Some is sad, some is funny, and some is serious. However, everything is fantastic. This is a podcast you don't want to miss!

Vampy HALLOWEEN

Denise is also an actress. Catch the Halloween eppissue of the Vamps next door. You'll love this!

I hope you read the great things that Denise has to say in all the links above. She is a dynamic go-getting woman who I am glad to call my friend. 

Everything that Denise N. Tapscott does and says makes her a truly wonderful Woman In Horror!

Terri DelCampo is my Woman In Horror Today! As you can see from all the links above, Terri is a busy woman. This year I'll be including links to some of my previous Woman In Horror posts. This way I'll be able to include some great interviews and other blasts from the past. I'll start this post out with a link to the very interesting Woman In Horror post of Terri's from last year. This includes a superb interview. It's a must read.

https://blazingowlpress.blogspot.com/2021/01/terri-delcampo-woman-in-horror.html

Terri has been very busy this year with some new pet projects. She is an activist for many causes, one of which is the green movement. She started up a Green Geezers blog that has articles from her and, more recently, some from me. Many causes and great people in the environmental world are brought to light within its pages. Check this out at:

https://greengeezers.blogspot.com/

Another passion of Terri's is to help stamp out real-life horror. You'll see her memes all over the internet attacking the evils that exist within this crazy and oftentimes evil world we live in. She gets extremely upset about gun shootings in schools, as we all should. Read some of her thoughts on her blog.

https://terridelcampo.blogspot.com/ 

There is much more to read on her Twitter page.

https://twitter.com/TerriDelCampo

This personal Facebook page includes more of her thoughts.

https://www.facebook.com/terri.delcampo 

Here is one of Terri's memes. She's not about to stop her condemnation of evil.

To further jump into the fray, Terri is writing fiction that focuses on these and many other topics. Keep your eyes peeled for these.

Terri's Amazon Author Page includes many outstanding books.

Broken Old Broad Busts A Beat: HO - PO (Horror Poems) is one of them.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Y7WT6HS/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i5

Next is:

Morbid Metamorphosis: Terrifying Tales Of Transformation

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071FDMD6V/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0

Terri's story, The Skelly Effect, is one of her best ones. This anthology is a must read!

Metamorphosis occurs every day as caterpillars become sweet fluttering butterflies, tadpoles become gorgeous frog princes and chameleons become one with the beauty of nature – but you won’t find any of that here.

The transformations you’re about to witness are unnatural, sometimes gruesome and deeply psychological. They will make you question reality and take your mind places it was never meant to go.

Terrifying Tales of Transformation from Greg Chapman * Roy C. Booth & R. Thomas Riley * Terri DelCampo * Dave Gammon * Nancy Kilpatrick * Rod Marsden * Jo-Anne Russell * M.J. Preston * Stacey Turner * Tina Piney * Suzanne Robb * Franklin E. Wales * Donna Marie West * Suzie Lockhart * Cameron Trost * Daniel I. Russell * Simon Dewar * Amanda J.

I could go on and on about all of Terri's published works and her books to come. She certainly has many. Make sure to read her interview on her last year's Woman In Horror post, check out the ones I highlighted there, and peruse other books displayed on Amazon.

And keep your peepers wide open for her new writings that are on the way.

WOMAN IN HORROR SERIES RETURNS

 

In the past, February has been Women In Horror Month. Last year was the last official year for this great organization showcasing fantastic women in all aspects of horror, whether it be writing, film work, or any of the other things that make this genre what it is. I had my own project which I called Woman In Horror. I wasn't sure how to present my Woman In Horror posts this year. I'm changing things around a bit. I will have no yearly designations. Instead, I will continue to add in posts about the great women in horror. They will be spread out over the course of time and not confined to a single month. 

Woman In Horror returns. You will meet some fascinating women. I'm sure that I will meet many new women to showcase. I will include some snippets from the past and up-to-date material.  

This will be a fun ride. Join me as I present fantastic women at the top of their game.

TERRI'S BOOKSHELF: INTRIGUING AUTHORS I READ IN 2015 - BY TERRI DELCAMPO

 

 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R71DFT7/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i28

Terri's Bookshelf: Intriguing Authors I Read In 2015, by Terri DelCampo, is an interesting book based on some of the noteworthy authors who Terri loves to read. I have read books by most of these authors, and I must agree with Terri that their books are the stuff real literature is made of. The ones I haven't read? Let's just say I'll have to change that and seek them out. I always love finding new authors.

From Terri: 

******

"2015 was a whirlwind year, as a writer and editor for me, it was also the year I experimented with a column in Owl's Eye View Magazine called "Terri's Bookshelf". While I discontinued the column in favor of keeping OEV strictly dark fiction, I wanted to publish the articles about the books, along with the corresponding interview questions for the authors, all of whom I still currently read. Interview questions answered by: Paul A. Bussard, Jeremiah Coe, CL Hernandez, Cara Marsi, Blaze McRob, Stephen Nepa, Shari Nichols, Dr. Terry Segal, George Weinstein, Jay Wilburn."

******

These authors embrace many genres and sub-genres. Romance, science fiction, horror, war, energy medicine, non-fiction, and more. Along with many links to their books, Terri has a most interesting set of questions she asks the authors. This in itself is worth the purchase price of the book. Such diversity!

Terri also includes a special piece direct from the World Horror Convention in 2015. I was with her as we hob-knobbed with all the great people there. 

You will most certainly enjoy this peek into the minds and lives of outstanding authors!

NINE LIVES - BY BLAZE MCROB

https://www.patreon.com/posts/nine-lives-42305372

Nine Lives, by Blaze McRob, is one of the newest tales in the Blazing Owl Short Horror series. It's a different take on some of the old legends and stories that I ran across when I was in Vietnam. No matter where you go, or what you're doing, unexplainable things happen. Some are better than others. Could this be one of them? Or is it one of those stories that sometimes place repressed memories in a part of our minds? Read and find out.

*****

Here is a short teaser:

******

The edges of the jungle dance to the tune played by the vibrant colors of the burning village, while twisting, cavorting shadows intersperse with unknown entities hiding beyond where no light will go.

I know what lurks within the boundaries of the dense undergrowth. Most of what resides there is not good. Death lives and thrives at its core and spreads out to capture ever more territory when the veil of darkness works in its favor.

For now, at least, the fire is saving those of us still alive from being entombed within the snare of annihilation. I wonder if that's a good thing, though. Sure, we're saved for now, but at what cost? Capture later on? Torture?

Some fucking life! Yet, some of us can't condone rolling over and accepting a fate of doom. Better to resist and fight 'til the end than to subjugate yourself to the wishes of the tormentors.

Fuck! I don't make the rules. This is war. One side wins. One side loses. It's as simple as that.

Most of the villagers waste no time in leaving their former homes. No sense in staying now. All that remains is burned rubble and ash. We help those who need it to get on their way. Their stares tell me what I already know without a word having been spoken: the burning of their village, the forced evacuation from the little they owned was our fault. Yeah, in their minds, the 'Cong were after us and this was all a retaliatory move.

How the hell are we supposed to fight and win a war where no one respects us or what we are trying to do for them? They would rather roll over and capitulate to the Commie bastards than fight on their own behalves. Not all of them; but a great many feel that way.

It appears that twenty or so of us are left. No sense in leaving now. As long as the fires are raging, we're safer where we're at. We better dig in, though. Once the air around us loses the brilliance of the fires and the all-encompassing darkness takes over, we're sitting ducks.

"C'mon guys!" I holler out. "You know what we have to do. Let's do it."

"But Sarge . . ."

"No buts, soldier! Just do it. That's an order!"

WICHITA MASSACRE - BY BLAZE MCROB

 

https://www.amazon.com/Blazing-Owl-Short-Horror-Massacre-ebook/dp/B099Z3MP79/ref=zg_bsnr_7588837011_68?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PYD2Q7RPB4M7EFRAXSPT

Blazing Owl Short Horror: Wichita Massacre is another one of my short horror stories. Be warned that you don't want to piss off a Gnome. They might be short in stature, but they can get rather nasty when provoked. Olaf is one such Gnome. He has a rather intense hatred of Charles and his ilk. I offer a short teaser below. You'll have to read the entire short tale to see what kind of evil shenanigans Olaf gets into.

Happy reading!

Blaze McRob

******

A typical night for this part of Kansas. It's hot and muggy without a breath of air. Olaf stands in front of his little house in the trunk of a tree, grinning like a cat with a mouse under its paw. The heat doesn't bother him. Truth be told, he finds it much to his liking. Little people like him can tolerate what the human miscreants can't.

"Ah," he says to himself, "what a fine evening to stroll about, smoke my pipe, and perhaps wander over to the big pond these people have built and do some fishing. Yes, some Largemouth Bass would be mighty tasty."

He goes back inside his dwelling and grabs his fishing rod and tackle box. Laughing to himself, thinking about the poor confused child he stole these items from a few years back, he heads towards the pond.

"A bigger pole would not fit my hands," he says. "This is just right."

Visions of a tummy filled with pan-fried Bass put a decided bounce in his step, and he arrives at the pond in no time at all. On dark nights such as this, a surface plug teased across the surface always resulted in a few careless fish winding up in his possession. Tonight is no exception. He only keeps what he himself can eat, knowing he has no way to keep any more from spoiling in the Kansas heat.

Once, there were others like him here, but they left, preferring the weather farther to the north. Aye, and a lot less of these humans. It seemed as if they destroyed things no matter where they went. The air, land, and the very water they drank, was tainted because of them. And the worst of the lot? He lives in the huge mansion set way back in from the road.

Charles is rich, but his money comes at the expense of others. More, more, more. It is always more. Why? He has enough of everything for many lifetimes.

Olaf never understood it. Deep down inside, the festering had been growing for many years, but what could he, one single Gnome, do against him, and the rest of the evil ones waiting to take his place? He dreamed often of charging into the big house and sending Charles off to the Promised Land, or wherever folks of his ilk went to, but dreams were all they were. No more would they come true than would the actuality of Charles deciding the pipeline he wanted to build was an evil thing.

The one thing he has on his side is that people do not believe that Gnomes exist, other than the plaster ones they keep on their lawns. If they knew, they would surely shit a brick. Olaf laughs at that, thinking of all the language changes he has been subjected to hearing over the years. What stupid people!

And, if they knew that Olaf and his kind were indeed among the living, they would have less concern for them than the wolves they try to annihilate.

JANGLES THE CLOWN - BY BLAZE MCROB

 

https://www.patreon.com/posts/tales-of-jangles-43117623

https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob

Jangles The Clown is more than just a clown horror tale. It is actually three short stories rolled into one.  Jangles is also a Vampire story. So, if you love clowns and vampires, you'll love this short story collection. 

******

Book description:

******

If you love clowns,

Beware; be cautious

When the circus comes to town.

If you fear clowns,

Beware their chocolates

With candy shell all around.

If you've never met a clown

Come to Mardi Gras

And know the bloody side of town.

******

Here's a short sample to whet your horror thirst:

******

The small circus has traveled pretty much the same route for years. Sure, there have been a few occasions where extreme weather or wars have caused some fluctuations, but the little farming communities in the far-flung sections of this part of western New Jersey look forward to the big top with all the excitement of the high-wire acts, the animal taming with lions and tigers looking as if they might maul their handlers at any time, and the balancing acts done by agile men and women on barrels and other assorted objects seemingly much more suited to other uses.

Yet, the mainstay of the circus, the clowns, are often overlooked. Sure, there are those who laugh at their antics, appreciating the dexterity they possess to perform the nimble moves needed to make it appear their falls, slaps, and other hilarious hijinks are real and not contrived, but, for the most part, there is a ho-hum attitude about them, and the children often times are afraid of the brightly made-up faces of these entertainers and scream whenever one comes close.

Jangles is the clown who has been with the Davis Bros. Circus the longest; exactly how long no one can really remember. It seems as if he has always been a part of the show. He is not happy with the lack of respect given to him and his peers, but he chooses not to engage in the dressing room conversations when his friends discuss the possibility that maybe, just maybe, the clown as an entertainer is going the way of the dodo bird.

Nonsense, he figures. Without clowns, there would be no circuses. If circuses themselves vanish from the scene, then maybe what they say is true, yet that won't happen.

Never will that happen, he thinks. Never.

The evening air is hot and humid tonight, typical for late June, and there is no movement in it at all. The other clowns are uncomfortable in their costumes and heavy make-up, just waiting for the show to be over so they can strip down and cool themselves off, but the heat doesn't bother Jangles. Bring it on, he thinks. I can handle it.

When the show is over, everyone in the circus rushes to cool off as the crowds return home, back to their mediocre existences. Jangles leaves his makeup and costume on and watches the guests leave, taking note of which direction they are going and keeping a close eye on those who leave alone.

Yes, the people who came here on their own are the ones who interest Jangles the most. A private show for them would be most fitting. He will not let them down.

A young lady, not in any hurry to leave, takes in all the majesty the Big Top has to offer. Now that it is empty, there is a special added charm: the flickering lights catch all the corners, creating shadows of mystery and allure. From out of one of the corners, Jangles steps forth, his bright red mouth and white face talking to her without the benefit of words.

They move towards each other, deliberately, but not pushing the timing any. The moment is special. It cannot be rushed. The clown stares into her eyes before moving to her throat, where he gently places his lips, first planting a sweet kiss upon her, and then releasing the fangs within his mouth to dig into her carotid. He draws long and hard on the bright red sustenance flowing from her neck, which to him is as mead presented from the Gods.

BLOODY BEACHES OF CHEYENNE - BY BLAZE MCROB

 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08843RTXT/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i25

BLAZING OWL SHORT HORROR BY BLAZE MCROB offers lots of chills packed in a few pages that will sweep you into his bizarre and macabre world whenever you have a few minutes to read.

Bloody Beaches of Cheyenne, by Blaze McRob, is a Vampire/rodeo clown short story that I believe you'll find most interesting. Here are the opening two paragraphs.

******

A warm breeze blows across the rodeo grounds, bringing the coppery taste of what I need to sustain myself to my tongue. Just a little longer and it will be dark. That will be my cue to spring into action.

The crowd is entering the stadium. This is PBR night, Professional Bull Riding, and the place is sold out. My little trailer contains everything I need to conceal myself during the day. My coffin is built to blend into the general shabby décor of a rodeo clown and appears to be nothing more than a long storage space on which my mattress and pillow sit. Of course, I have no use for the seeming resting place on top, but if anyone enters while I’m asleep, there is no way they would think to remove the mattress to see what’s under it.

******

Cheyenne, Wyoming loves their rodeo. However, not all rodeo clowns are created equal, are they?

******

RED SURF - BY BLAZE MCROB

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.

Romantic Shadows, by Terri DelCampo and Blaze McRob, is a collection published by Blazing Owl Press on our wedding anniversary back in 2016.

Synopsis:

True love drowned by stormy seas?

Nun and lover brought to knees.

Wig transforms a broken girl.

Lady killed by shrapnel hurled.

Lambada's passion warms the soul.

Tears in heaven are wrath's toll.

Like seeks like when soulmates meet.

Poe's adoring shadow greets.

Will child be mother's resurrection?

Powwow lovers pose for perfection.

Artists' souls joined with paint eternal.

Chilesa's life raft is infernal.

Moon beams and lovers dream – forever

All in this tome – a dark romance endeavor.
