Catamount
Allen Foss, a 22-year-old college senior with a history of tormenting his teachers and pissing off his peers, has found two new targets and marked them for humiliation: goodie-two-shoes classmate Melanie Foster and current professor Diana Darcy, a “cougar” 16 years his senior.
Following Melanie’s downfall and disgrace at a fraternity party, Allen concentrates on getting into Professor Darcy’s good graces—and into her bed. But what he doesn’t know is that the beautiful professor—a Native American Indian, mysteriously abandoned by her tribe while still a baby—has an agenda, and a secret, of her own.
Some cougars, it seems, are not meant to be tamed.

About the author
Stephen M. DeBock
16 books9 followersAs a boy, Stephen M. DeBock used to entertain (and frighten) the neighborhood children by telling them stories from his favorite horror comics. As a middle school teacher, he continued the tradition by starting the year with a story from a horror anthology. Upon retirement from his public school and later college careers, he has had time to create his own horror tales: from a children’s vampire spoof in Spider magazine to paranormal-themed short stories and novelettes, as well as this, his first full-length horror novel.
DeBock’s writing on consumer education won an award from the State of New Jersey, which led to his serving as consultant to Zillions, Consumers Union’s children’s magazine, and his contributions to essays in Time magazine, ABC’s World News Tonight, and CNBC. Before leaving New Jersey, he was a member of the Rutgers University Media Literacy Project.
His writing on various topics has appeared in American Heritage, AOPA Pilot, and Living Aboard magazines. He’s written newsletters for various organizations, compiled a book of reminiscences from and for members of his U.S. Marine Presidential Honor Guard Association, and wrote the text for The Art of H. Hargrove, the coffee-table book that makes a cameo appearance in The Pentacle Pendant.
He and his wife Joy live in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

I loved Catamount. It grabbed me from the first few sentences. I couldn't put my phone down. This short story takes you on a ride of twists and turns, with humor and suspense and horror. Stephen DeBock once again did an excellent job of writing this short story. I hope he keeps writing more. I also think this short story could use a sequel.
