From the Deep Dark

by Valerie Lioudis

Did you know that souls can be taken over in a ghost month? Well, that is if the demon is patient enough.

Or have you ever wondered how all this new tech and instant world wide connections would effect the way the world reacts to a zombie apocalypse? Well, there's a hashtag for that! #ZombiesAreReal #PrayForMe

Waking up in a Halloween costume, covered in leaves, and in a crack den with a face that you don't recognize...

The big bad man tries to take the little girl only to find it was so much more than he bargained for...

Inside You'll Find:

Zombies and Vampires
Angels and Demons

...and so much more!

Excerpt:

“Why can’t you just take the treasures? You do all the killing. It seems silly to stop right before you collect your prize”

Want. Perfection.

“You are infuriating.”

The first time I realized I hadn’t been in complete control of my body was back in college. I came to in a class I hadn’t remembered registering for. Throughout my time there, the beast would guide my path in the direction he desired. In the end, between the two of us we had somehow managed to graduate with a degree in ophthalmology. Well, actually, together we had become an eye surgeon who specialized in genetic deformities. That was something I had never really wanted, since my original plan was to become a teacher.

The beast had other plans. He always had other plans.
