    American Dogwood - Part 1 of 3:

    Nine years ago, Detective Amory lost his only daughter. She disappeared one summer day. One terrible blue-skied day. He has managed to keep his world from unraveling but only just. For a new hot summer brings the body of a girl hanging in midair and his past is opened like a wound unhealed. As more bodies turn up in frightful scenes, it’s a race against the collective sanity of the state of Virginia and the innocent lives of multiple young women. It’s a race against time no one has.

    The serial killer is like a ghost, a supernatural force that no one can contend with. But Detective Amory must. He must save them like he couldn’t save his daughter.

    Dracula: The Stake and the Servant

    Dracula: The Stake and the Servant

    Dracula dreams in his coffin slumber whilst a man creeps through his castle. 

    It is 1503, the height of the Italian Renaissance, and a young Venetian named Ludovico sneaks down the darkened halls. He has heard rumors of a nameless evil. A fluttering of bats across the conquered lands of Wallachia. The Turks tell of terrors in the night, screams, and the howling of women. No one goes near the castle. 

    People still remember the forest of stakes...

    The Legend of the Pines

    Today’s story is one I wrote for my dad. It is about a young boy being led through the woods by his father. They take a path to a secret place. A hidden confluence of nature. There amongst the fallen leaves and grey twilight are things the boy will never forget. 

    Until his dying day and beyond.
