A Halloween Literary Treat

In honor of upcoming Halloween, I wanted to highlight the weirdest, most frightening and horrific thing I have ever written. Numerous short stories might qualify for the shortlist, but among the longer works I think that The One Thousand series of novellas, set in the late 1960s and early 1970s, wins the prize. Check it out and see if you agree.

The One Thousand: Book 1

It is the late 1960s
