Two years later after Collectives In A Forsaken Landscape and a year after Gothicfest 2005. I was billed along side Michelle Belanger and Corvis Nocturnum they were more high profile than me but I was the one who got chased around by the media. They found out the book signing aspect was my input. I had done a collection compiled from my two chapbooks and a novella I had in 2005. Which contained my first longer works and some stories that were online from my now defunct Deviantart.com page as you will see the additional commentary in the TOC talking about key stories in the book with the artwork from Stephanie who did the artwork from the chapbook version of The Storms of Armageddon. (Sadly couldn't find the artwork. Lulu.com deleted that unfortunately.)      This contains Lake Fossil 3 and Norwood’s Discovery along with the the very dark story known as Gruesome Cargo from The House of Pain. Contains a redesigned cover and introduced the story Flying Cigars which was written for Piggy of VOIVOD -- tested this out on their fans and it’s well received with them. features new cover design based upon the original covers from 2006. Ranging from horror to literary that have dark elements to science fiction. Branching into science fiction started after writing The Statue as Gerald Grimmet (1942-2005) a literary fiction novelist suggested I tried my hand at other genres because I was too strong as a horror author, so some of the other stories became that exercise -- Passenger (from Tabloid Purposes IV) would be literary fiction with a Gothic Horror element.    This collection is noted for the PG rated opuses Halloween on Camera and Norwood's Discovery (the first of my much longer works;) as An Eye In Shadows will have the story which is the true story this fictional one is based upon. Ghosts in the Tornado and Spectral Exile are also in this era but if included might be too shocking. This one is okay for a younger audience if they think the first book is too intense for them. Some stories do have the very strong language. This houses the story that was debated being either original or fan fiction because I borrowed Rod's delivery to write The Statue. I got yelled out for writing an apocalyptic novella which was then a cyberpunk Dystopian take on Epic of Gilgamesh. That got me noticed in 2012 circles as a preview. The third large scale work and the first over 14,000 words. Halloween On Camera and Lake Fossil 3 are noted as my first 10,000 plus stories.     This one is just over 200 pages as the book will be revised and reformatted with additional artwork and photography. I did this book originally when I was living in Justice, Illinois, while waiting to finish Tabloid Purposes 3. This book was done from two chapbooks I had offered in 2005 and 2006 but thought get this together and give something for the masses. This edition may or may not include the 2008 story Media Darling as a bonus story. (The story I decided on as the bonus short story is An Urban Gothic Tale which could easy fall in the era of the stories in the collection with a new introduction.) This collection originally has 15 stories and one of them was featured on The House Of Pain and another was on Wheels of Terror during my tenor as staff writer. You want horror stories -- I will deliver with this; as the sister book for this will be an anthology similar size that changes things up quite often. Might be too intense for readers under 14 years old. Norwood's Discovery and Lake Fossil 3 are known for their cool underwater visuals. Being able to write the underwater sequences came by way of Michael Ault who is an avid scuba diver and remembered as my mother also did when she was in her twenties.
