Apostate
A SCREENPLAY
About 19,700 words
"Apostate" follows Lily, a fourteen year old who finds herself at the center of something ancient and terrible as several grueling crimes upset the order of her small town. Hallucinations come quickly, followed by a creature of shadow, begging her to "Free god."
All too quickly, things spiral out of control, and Lily's town is besieged with madness, grotesque creatures, and a roaming cult determined to make their way to the church, where something lies deep below the earth, waiting to be called forth by unlikely apostles.
"Apostate" is one part of a massive project, where each story involved is both standalone and connected, and will culminate into a series of novels currently in the works. With no constraints in regards to genre or format, each story is given the freedom to express itself fully, whether it be as a fantasy, science fiction or literary piece, or even as a horror screenplay.

About the author
Scott Hale
23 books150 followersScott Hale has always been obsessed with all things horror. While it's not uncommon for his writings to blend multiple genres together, Horror is ever-present, be it in the scenarios themselves, or the uncomfortable truths he dares to explore.
Scott is the demented mastermind behind The Bones of the Earth series. Six books and four years later, the series has come to an end, but his addiction to writing has not. With more books on the way (In Sheep's Skin, The Body is a Cruel Mistress, and Sickness in the Stars), it won't be long until you're invited to explore his grotesque, imaginative, and oddly beautiful worlds.
Scott is married to his wife, Hannah - his muse, frequent collaborator, and illustrator for his work. He has a masters in Social Work and is currently practicing in a psychiatric hospital.
