This work is dedicated to the humans that are tired of being used as slaves. The Roman Empire did not fall. They just changed the name to the Roman Church. This text contains material that you cannot unread. Your thinking process will be permanently altered. Consider yourself warned. This text will release you from the Matrix and there is no way to get back inside. This is your final warning - DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! In 1946, a massive cache of ancient manuscripts were found in caves near the dead sea. These became known as the “Dead Sea Scrolls”. I have studied various forms of this material for the past 15 years. I have examined historical documents, religious texts as well as countless historical facts. These texts have led me to a number of obvious realizations. There are texts known as forbidden knowledge in most cultures. Most have been burned. If you explore them, you will find that they all lead to extraterrestrial origins. Recent research has revealed that humans are composed of between 1% and 4% of the Neanderthal’s DNA. The part that was not mentioned was that there are humans with 0% Neanderthal DNA in them. This is the Roman race. (The other 96%) These “pureblood” humanoids are the off-worlders who came to Earth and created earthling humans through genetic manipulation. The Romans mixed their DNA with Neanderthals to create a race of workers to satisfy their labor needs. In anthropological circles, they would be called “the missing link”. You can find them in our historical records as “Ancient Romans and Greeks”. They appeared out of nowhere, enacted biblical scale changes to humanity, and then disappeared as mysteriously as they came. Thoughtfully and critically consider the facts, they actually make far more logical sense than the stories you have been indoctrinated to believe. History is written and rewritten by the victor. The Romans have erased and revised history to suit their agenda. They continue this practice even today as books and monuments are removed. Free discourse is censored and self anointed ultra biased fact checkers have appeared on the scene to employ psychological warfare upon the masses. Political foes are imprisoned. The Inclusive Bible is the latest Bible translation where the writers have removed male pronouns and sexism. Facts should remain facts and not subject to subverting by whoever is in power at the time. A fact never changes. Religion and history are not subjects to be modified and rewritten at the whims of a new leader. The ancient cuneiform tablets have clearly detailed that an extraterrestrial lifeform came to Earth and genetically modified the Neanderthals to produce the human race. They made themselves known to us as Gods. Since they were our creators, it is a fair assertion. (Our Father who art in heaven. God created man in his own image - sound familiar?) Ancient Rome is EXACTLY what it looks like when a highly advanced space-faring race frontiers a new planet. The Roman race brought all of the various disciplines of a complex civilization with them. They did not invent anything (except humans). Customer reviews "Captivating read. It will challenge ideas you may not even realize that you’ve tacitly accepted." Amazon.com "Very Thought Provoking. Since smart and curious minds are always open to new ways of thinking, why not think through the Moose way..." Amazon.com "You cannot un-read this book. Earth's deepest secrets are revealed. You will not be able to get back inside the Matrix and you might wish you could." Amazon.com

Four tormented souls. Two impossible love stories. One inescapable fate. The Middle Between Us delicately unfurls the love stories of two sets of couples, detached by time but brought together by fate. Where one is set in the artisanal streets of a 21st-century city life, the other depicts the breathtaking wild mountains of eastern Europe as it’s set ablaze by the religious zealotry of World War I. Where one revolves around two men coming to term with their own sexual identities, the other forces its two young lovers apart in the face of insurmountable odds. Seemingly unrelated at first, the two star-crossed couples find out they are not only parallel – but deeply intertwined. Itamar S.N. delicately but unapologetically weaves the complexities of modern-day romance with conflicts as old as time, finding the middle between love and acceptance, intimacy and desire, obsession and art. Customer reviews "A beautiful story, Highly recommended reading, I could not put this one down!" Amazon.com "If I haven't read the novel in one sitting, I believe it would've driven me insane to find out how are the couples connected and what happened to them. I'm glad I did, and I wouldn't miss it for the world." Amazon.com "A passionate book about love, truth, and life. Very highly recommended and a well-deserved five stars from me."

LEAN CLOSER. Let these stories whisper poison into your ears. This debut full length collection from Norman Prentiss opens with the Bram Stoker Award-winning title story, where an overheard conversation in a movie theater has unexpected effects on a couple's relationship. In other unsettling tales: suffer the consequences of an ill-timed Halloween prank; encounter strange creatures in the woods or in an airport waiting room; visit an abandoned amusement park or a secluded town of oddly shaped inhabitants; confront a sinister murderer who seems to be everywhere at once, or meet a man who simply can't be bothered to die. The collection concludes with "Four Legs in the Morning," the first appearance of Dr. Sibley, a mysterious college professor who enacts revenge on those who defy or disappoint him; and the full-text of the Stoker-winning novella, "Invisible Fences." NORMAN PRENTISS is the author of Odd Adventures With Your Other Father and Life In a Haunted House, and he won the 2010 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction for Invisible Fences, also published by Cemetery Dance Publications. He also won a 2009 Stoker for his short story, "In the Porches of My Ears," published in Postscripts 18. Other publications include The Book of Baby Names, The Fleshless Man, Four Legs in the Morning, The Halloween Children (written with Brian James Freeman), and The Narrator (written with Michael McBride). His website is: normanprentiss.com "Prentiss’s understated style works excellently for the subject matter—there’s a creeping menace under many of his stories that worms its way beneath the reader’s skin before it can even be noticed. Weird fiction readers will find a lot to love here." - Publisher's Weekly "The monsters at the heart of Norman Prentiss's disquieting, deceptively hushed fiction are overheard conversations, misunderstood gestures, the things both partners in a relationship have agreed never to say. At least until those things sprout teeth, fur, the ability to curse, and turn into even more terrifying monsters." - Glen Hirshberg, author of Infinity Dreams and the Motherless Children trilogy. "I've never forgotten a Norman Prentiss story. He builds his nightmares gently, word by word, sentence by sentence, working his way into your subconscious so that you are never sure again if it happened to you, or you dreamt it, or it was a Prentiss story." - Kaaron Warren, Award-Winning author of Through Splintered Walls, The Grinding House, and Dead Sea Fruit. In the Porches of My Ears is available at Amazon

Janine Richards led a fairly sheltered life but it wasn’t exactly her fault. Old money and a family suffocated with secrets will do that to you. After witnessing a cold-blooded murder while on a road trip with her soon-to-be fiancé, Janine is whisked away into what she believes is a witness protection program designed for the ultra-wealthy near the sandy beaches and mega-yachts of an undisclosed Mediterranean island. What appears at first as a hedonistic paradise where every carnal desire is catered to and quenched, quickly devolves into a nightmare as Janine finds herself being groomed as nothing more than cattle in an aristocratic sex trade.

Silver Medal Winner for Best Adult Fiction Anthology, 2021, Readers Favorite Book Awards Hollywood and Broadway are icons of the American Dream. But what happens to those who feed off that dream? Just as drug cartels have many underlings, who must get paid along the journey to the addicts, so do the characters who need to be nourished by the luminaries who make up this star-studded world above us. James Musgrave’s collection of eleven stories, in many ways, addresses the theme of “star power,” but in a way that satirizes the stereotypical “Hollywood endings” in very unique and literary ways. This collection has a remedy for the past year’s traumas caused by a worldwide pandemic.
"Entering the consciousness of a reader is the most sacred enterprise an author can have. These stories have been collected as my Zen reflection during the past year’s COVID-19 plague. This shamanistic mental state, which the Japanese term “Mushin,” or “no-mind” is close to the stream-of-consciousness technique that Henry James, Virginia Woolf, Jack Kerouac, James Joyce, and William Faulkner used to such success. However, it is also a form of channeling that defies definition. This is the mystical realm that creatives around the world know so well, and we worship at its altar every day we put fingers to keys or pen to paper. I want to thank readers who enjoy dark stories, as in this age of political correctness and what publishers often term “accessibility,” it is becoming more difficult for us authors, especially us authors who don’t make a lot of money from our work, to find an audience. I will go out on a limb and say that if the author does make a lot of money from a dark story, he/she will get marketing to back him/her up to ride the tide of money to the bank. If you ride this wave of Gustav and all the other characters in my collection, then thanks for that. It’s been a tough year for all of us. Bless you." --James Musgrave
"Superbly dark and un-put-down-able. This was a new type of work from the author, and I really felt drawn to his compilation of eleven dark stories. Each story is so engrossing, it brings you right in the middle of the story. This collection is more than just words on a page. It is a very well-written story, and I enjoyed it." Amazon.com "For a writer, getting inside the reader’s mind is the holy grail of the craft. In Valley of the Dogs, a collection of eleven dark short stories, author Jim Musgrave has invaded most of our minds and left an impression that will linger long after we close the book and stick it on our ‘to be read again someday’ shelf. If you’re looking for a good book to curl up with when the wind’s blowing outside and the sky is gunmetal gray and depressing, this is what I would prescribe." Amazon.com " Wow! Great stories, definitely dark, but also great! I enjoyed all of these stories, but some of them hit you hard, very hard. The writer is very skilled at his craft, and I can't wait to read more stories out of his wonderful imagination." Amazon.com

Humpty Dumpty was pushed... There are no accidents, and there’s a reason for everything that happens. In this novel, the unspoken truth is... It’s a dog-eat-dog world. The victim is a mesomorphic doorman. He lays stretched out on the parking lot pavement just a few yards from the nightclub where he worked. On the case is a brilliant and eccentric, media-darling-cop, Sal Messina. Sal’s investigation leads from the wealthy lairs of Manhattan to the manicured estates in the Hamptons to the PJs in Queens and places beyond. Like the immigrant communities of the Boogie Down Bronx inhabited by fierce survivors of ethnic wars. It’s a wild ride through a vast craven underbelly of society that takes its toll on both the detective’s personal and professional life. Before this case, the detective thought he had seen it all. But this time, what’s coming is way beyond the officer's range of vision. Customer reviews "A Killer Read (Literally!) This book is a wonderful, emotional roller coaster ride with an ending that ties up all loose ends and leaves the reader totally satisfied. Five stars for Mr. Blatte!"

Think you're living in an environmental dystopia? That's where the story begins and it doesn't get any less wild. At once ridiculous and chilling, rising surrealist talent Freddy F. Fonseca explores the dark, porky underbelly beneath humanity's seemingly ever-more-virtuous race toward sustainability - and the genius puppet-masters who watch our feeble bamboo-straw-buying attempts and smile, while flattening another rainforest. Oh yeah, and there's our hero. The last remaining pig on Earth just happened to be blessed with superpowers. Which he would use to avenge the extermination of his species, were he not to get tangled up in an all-too-human web of greed, lust, and indifference. The anarchic and ambitious Heart of Swine has breath-taking scope and a wry, not totally resigned smile. It incautiously pulls away the covers to reveal how half-assed humanity's efforts to clean up after itself have been. It's funny and coarse, sure, but the writer is deadly serious. The epic failures we continue to see around the world on a personal and political level are taken to frightening lengths. And reading Heart of Swine is like a Rorschach test for one's outlook on the future - although it's hard to think, especially after finishing this book, that everything's going to be just fine. Customer reviews "Really enjoyed reading Heart of swine. It's an eye-opening experience towards our contemporary society. Written in a great literary work exposing our societies vices and follies." Amazon.com "Exaggerated and yet so believable. Themes and characters are great and reflect much of the modern concerns. I particularly liked the commentary, so hard and honest. The narrative is fluid and makes me never want to stop reading it." Amazon.com
