I Never
From the novella collection Reflecting on Midnight- 4 novellas for only $2.99 Welcome to The Tavern at the Edge of Forever. I hope you survive your experience.Marco Conti and his three brothers, the children of Chicago-area crime boss Adolpho Conti, have been abducted from their homes in the dead of the night. Their destination is The Tavern at the Edge of Forever, an almost-mythical place where the most powerful criminal masterminds in the world gather to work out business deals and to work out their differences. A place where games are played, and where the losers usually end up dead. Marco can't imagine what twist of fate has brought the four of them to The Tavern, but he is determined to make sure that they all make it out alive. Of course, survival is much harder when the deck is stacked against you by the Mistress of the Tavern herself.From the author of the Pandora's Children collections of short stories, and the novellas "Dogs of War", "King of the Merge", and "FotoShop of the Gods", comes "I Never", a 16,000 novella that is part crime thriller, part horror story, and hopefully the beginning of something big. "I Never" is included, along with "Dogs of War", "King of the Merge" and "FotoShop of the Gods", in the collection Reflecting on Midnight. Purchased separately, the four novellas will cost $5.96, while the single collection costs $3.99.

About the author
Bradley Convissar
30 books105 followersI am a dentist by day, a writer of dark fiction at night, and a father, husband, and not-so-proud pet owner when time permits.
I am the author of several dozen short stories, four novellas, and will be releasing my first novel, Blood, Smoke and Ashes, a supernatural thriller, in early 2013.
I was born in Georgia, but moved to southern New Jersey before I could be forced to be an Atlanta Braves fan. I spent my formative years living outside of Philadelphia where I latched on to the Philly sports teams and was promptly disappointed for almost twenty years. I spent my college years in New Orleans where I learned his bachelor's degree in evolutionary biology at Tulane University, then relocated to lovely Newark New Jersey, where I earned his DMD.
After eight years of bouncing around, I finally settled down back in south Jersey, only miles from the house I grew up in. I am happily married and the proud father of two children. I am also "dad' to a diabetic, half-blind eight-year-old daschund named Friday who is little more than a lump on the couch most of the time.
When not filling cavities or performing root canals or extracting teeth or fabricating dentures, or writing, I spend my time playing with my kids, playing video games, reading comic books, reading non-illustrated books, and impotently rooting on my beloved Philadelphia Phillies and less than beloved Philadelphia Eagles.
My favorite authors are, but not limited to, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Clive Barker, Richard Matheson, Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child, Simon Green, Jim Butcher, and Jeffery Deaver. I like to think that I learned something of the art of writing from each of these authors.
To this day, I wonder how the TV show LOST got so bad, so quickly. The wasted potential of the first three seasons still haunts me.

The final story in my Reflecting on Midnight collection, I Never is completely unlike anything I've written before, bordering more on crime and urban paranormal themes than the usual horror I write. It's fun little romp with characters and a place I hope to explore further in the future.

A fun story. One of bradley convissar's longer stories and I enjoyed it very much. Great characters and a well thought out plot. Another of his stories I would be happy to see continued someday.

Very interesting short story. One brother may die for their father's mistake, unless they can outsmart the enemy. Didn't want to put it down.

Interesting short story about a family of criminals and a magic room. The thing is, it was short and I cared nothing about the players. They were all bad people. Then it was over.
