Summoner of Sleep

About Summoner of Sleep

A dark family secret—A town that doesn’t exist on any map—and a drug that will unleash an apocalyptic, transformational horror on the world.

Ryder Ashling’s world is turning upside down. He’s lost his job, wife, home, and now he’s doubting his sanity. Behind his descent are horrific nightmares so vivid that they follow him into the waking world. When he discovers his neighbor has been documenting his nightmares with scientific precision and leaving him vials of a drug called Summoner of Sleep, things get weirder.

His neighbor disappears and Ryder follows his trail to Marble Woods, a town erased from all maps after a historical atrocity. Now it’s whispered to be the home of marble-skinned demons, as well as the source of the plants used to manufacture Summoner of Sleep.

It’s here in Marble Woods that Ryder will come face to face with the darkest of family secrets and be forced to make a decision that will change the fate of the world.

Rich in magic and occultism, fractured characters, and a taste of mystery, Summoner of Sleep is a fast paced, thrill-ride bursting with psychological terror.

A Distance from Avalon: when the dying and the dead reunite by Mike Messier

Joe Humble, a middle school history teacher and a father of three, is in the middle of a painful divorce. Joe’s Halloween night becomes an adventure when his co-worker Shadow, a newly hired music teacher, invites him out for a night on the town.

Shadow leads them to a Castle with the door opened by the alluring Heartbreak, who in turn takes us to the master of the house, the mysterious, charming, and gothic Jean La Croix Distance.

While the ladies seem to find a common ground, the two gentlemen can’t help but challenge each other’s wit, intelligence, and world knowledge. Eventually, wine and conversation cool their tempers.

After a marvelous meal, an indecent proposal of a “no guarantees, no strings attached” partner swap for the rest of the evening leads the two mix-matched couples to share feelings of profound empathy and, eventually, spoils of the flesh that are later revealed to be mere tools for manipulation and indoctrination.

Would it be too much to share that there is more to our hosts than what at first seems?

As Jean and Heartbreak’s motivations are revealed, Joe must choose whether to make this odd yet fascinating place his new home or to somehow find a Distance from Avalon.

Toothless By Theodore Thomas

About Toothless By Theodore Thomas

Release Date: August 15, 2022!!

“Hey, we got a problem,” Bezaria said quietly as she looked at her companions. “There’s a security guard here. –He just tried to kick me out.”

“Do you know about the spirit?” Albrecht responded quickly and quietly, unconcerned with Bezaria’s problem. “Can you see the spirit, too?”

“Yes, I can see the spirit,” Bez snapped, standing up and pointing toward the apparition. She was perturbed by Albrecht’s lack of concern for the corporeal problem at hand. “It’s right over there. I don’t know what it’s doing there, but that’s not….”

Bezaria’s voice trailed as she froze in place—the spirit shifted, then turned to face her. Words locked in her throat and muscles locked in her arm, leaving her motionless, still pointing at the ghost. The ghost tilted its head back, and the long black hair parted to reveal a pair of dark, eyeless sockets. It raised an extended arm and pointed back at Bezaria with a long, cold, bony finger. Its mouth opened wide and emitted a moan that was felt more than heard—like a cold breeze without wind; a shrill howl in the mind.

“Oh, no,” Bezaria said as she regained control of her voice. “Guys, I think it sees me.”

More muscles steadily unfroze, and the Magi slowly stepped backward. “I think I’m in trouble.”
