excessive violence, visceral bloodshed and vivid profanity!!

alright, here's how it is. i've been developing a novel for the last few years as a companion element of a larger project and i've been beaten to the point that i'm finally venturing out to see what kind of interest horror fans have in it.


let's be honest with each other, ok? you want obscene levels of blood splatter, you want something to explode, you want someone to shoot someone else in the face and you want it all done by characters you root for and marvel at as they repeatedly deliver scathing one liners while the world burns around them. although defying most forms of logic, you insist that all of this is either filled with or packaged together with some seriously scary shit. because- horror, dammit! and not like some bullshit direct-to-video celluloid embarrassment, but more like all the terror you've been denied via unfulfilled failures experienced by the kinds of degenerate bad asses you're fairly certain will end up in your group at the end of the world. i know you demand this as a minimum for anything you chance to read. you know you want it- trust me, you'll feel better if you just admit it.

and i want to give all of that to you just for taking a chance. all the aforementioned and more i will provide in vast, potentially fatal doses with precision regularity in addition to all kinds of shit you're addicted to and didn't even know it!

i'll be open and honest here- there is no sexual content beyond vulgar language. why? well, YOU try to compressing everything you wish a story would give you onto the confines of the written page and not have to leave something out so it's not unnecessarily gorged and bloated. besides, you sick fuckers can get your own porn...

undoubtedly yes, it's a horror story. and a god damned fine one, believe you me.
one that didn't fall from off the assembly line, but was built out of bloody and rusted saw blades, rail road spikes and purified night terrors bound and elegantly wrapped with tastefully layered razor wire. it's a Shakespearean tale actually filled with fury and rage, inhabited by foul mouthed cultural denizens that range from drug-fueled lowlifes to people your parents would've respected at first glance, and that's just the first 2 chapters.


and yes, here's something that could be a deal breaker for some of you... it has military based themes- many, many of them and every one more twisted than the last. nearly every one of the characters are soldiers, the jargon either needs to be toned down or a glossary should be provided (screw ya'll, i made a glossary), and it's... well.... fucking vile?



look, i'm not looking for anyone to be floored by what i'm willing to share. in fact, i'm almost positive that the only person that will ever willing hold a completed copy will be the person using it as exhibit A in my prosecution. be that as it may, it's well written, surreal, intense and vivid.


but i promise you that you'll never have read anything like it before or ever will again. donate a few minutes before i say 'fuck it' and switch to committing arson for kicks.


i have the first few chapters available online and a supplementary character journal that's much shorter and personal without sacrificing quality. i'll return to the favor to other writers:)



drop a line if you're interested. hell, drop a line if you're not interested and tell me why you feel that way. i'm game for discussion of either support or suppression.
