Charles Michael Bryant–Charlie-Bear to his parents–is nine months old and suffers from that age-old and worrisome condition known as colic. The doctors say he'll grow out of it. His father, Sam, wishes he would go ahead and do so...and his mother, Faith, wants a good night's sleep. It isn't gas that keeps Charlie-Bear awake, nor is it heartburn, reflux or a wet diaper. Charlie-bear has drawn the attention of Wicked...a nasty thing who moves as a shadow, speaks only in rhyme and steals the souls of children. He is a monster who creates more nightmares and wants Charlie-Bear to become one.
Just write! Dan writes. Well, actually, he types... so he's more of a typist than a writer. If he's any good at it is really up to you, and none of his business.
Leave a review, seriously, it's okay.
Dan lives in small town Midwest and writes and makes short films. He owes his imagination to his two beautiful children, and the guts to put it out there to a loving...and patient wife.
If you'd like more info, he's on facebook and instagram... just ask him.
All babies cry. But what if some have a really good reason to do so? Don’t you just love it when a perfectly random kindle free turns out to actually be good? And not just good…wicked. Never read the author, don’t especially care for babies, but this tale of a jaunty rhyming demon out to possess the innocent tiny people was lots of fun. Surprisingly good writing, even decent editing with a word omitted here and there, original and entertaining take on parents’ nightmare. Quick and freaky. Read in the dark for maximum effect. Recommended.
I loved this little novella! I got a free Audible code for it on Reddit. It was a fun, modern take on classic horror stories. I think the novella does great on its own, but it would also be super fun as a full length novel!
