Everyday Psychopaths
Everyday Psychopaths is a collection of short stories that will both frighten you and make you laugh out loud. Warning: reading these three stories can make you sound like a crazy person. Kind of like an Everyday Psychopath...
In Everyday Psychopaths you find three stories, all three of them containing an everyday psychopath of some kind. The first one is close to a horror story with a dose of dark humor, the short second one is more literary but scary in its own right, and the third one is all dark comedy. Included in this collection is also two samples of my novels, The Wake-Up Call and Hollywood Ass. I hope you like them enough to consider checking them out in full.
The Stories in Everyday Psychopaths
A Killer Date
30 minutes into the date, Sheila thinks there's magic in the air between her and Terry. She can hardly believe her luck to have met a man who seems to have everything. She wants to pinch her arm and ask herself if it's too good to be true, but if she did the answer would be: Yes, it is too good to be true, because the truth is actually horrifying...
The Development Talk
Jasper is in for his yearly development talk and he's feeling very uncomfortable about it. He usually doesn't like meetings and his manager, Stephen, is kind of creepy. Little does he know how creepy...
The Worst/Best Day of My Life
Sometimes one day is enough. One day can change your life from heaven to hell. Or vice versa. This is what happened to Joe in the craziest 24 hours of his life...
The Wake-Up Call (sample)
On the surface he has it all: the women, the career, and the Central Park view penthouse, but behind his well-groomed and chiseled facade he has nothing. At least this is what he's about to realize. Find out how Jack gets his life-changing wake-up call in this fast-paced, heartfelt and funny novel about soul-searching, friendship, and love.
Hollywood Ass. (sample)
A Hollywood superstar suffers a mental collapse, her marriage is falling apart, her career is on the ropes and the only one keeping it all together is her loyal assistant and friend, Darryl. Problem is, he's kind of in love with her. Soon he finds himself drawn into a story that is much like the movies his employer stars in. But in real life the answers aren't in the script...

GROSS ........ , if you rightly expected "creepy , disgusting , and sadistic " from the subject , you will instead get your dose from the writing which is unabashedly childish and seems to come straight from the mouth of a 5-year old telling bedtime stories !!! Read this only if you want to feel like a victim of this senseless carnage of our time and all semblance of an intelligence !!!

So. Awful.
The writing is bad. The style is bad. The story is pretty bad. I couldn't find anything redeeming here. I didn't give one whit about any of the characters. It's gross (in multiple ways). Regret the price I paid for it, which was free.
