    Where Did They Come From?

    About this ebook

    Sorrel, a Frenchman, writes horror novels. Recording what he sees in his mind’s eye onto paper comes naturally. But with unrelenting pressure to outdo his latest work, Sorrel becomes addicted to his current manuscript.
    Despite his success, negative experiences in Sorrel’s life had darkened the lens of his mind’s eye. Blackened as if coated by hell’s infernal ashes. This did not prevent him from seeing through to the other side. It only changed how he saw it. And the need to take what he saw and materialize it on this side of the lens seemed reasonable to him.

    How far will Sorrel go to materialize them? Acts carried out in real life with equally real consequences?

    No writer would have the audacity to stage a scene to capture it on the page. Surely, Sorrel wouldn’t.
    Or would he?

      Three Poems

      Mar 1, 2020

      “Why is there something rather than nothing?” feels disingenuous, on an ontological level, because we think of even nothing as something. I think of nothing as empty space in all directions. But emptiness, darkness, is something. It feels like we’d n

      BREAKING THE RULES: How To Write Genre-busting Fiction

      As a writer, it’s rare when you can pinpoint the moment a whole book series came to you. This is probably why so many authors hate That Question. You know, the ‘Where do you get your ideas from?’ one, which is often so hard to answer. But with my ser

      About the Author

      1

      Everyone should pay attention to what their mind’s eye shows them. Call those images whatever you like: dreams, daymares, nightmares, visions, hallucinations, sleep, or a trance—it doesn’t matter. Languages are full of synonyms, meaning the same thing, yet, mean nothing.

      No one is more susceptible to the mind’s eye suggestion than the fiction writer. Electronic screens, paper, and anything writers can get their hands on becomes the Ouija Board and the keyboard, writing utensil, or any item used to record what they see is the planchette.

      Nonwriters think writers sit down and plan what they are going to write. And, unfortunately, they would be correct with some writers outlining their stories, complete with character profiles and avatars. It works for some, but not most, but who’s to judge.

      There’s another type of writer: one who doesn’t try to conjure stories. For the stories, themselves, compete for airtime in the mind’s eye. Compete doesn’t mean running a race. Instead, think of gladiators fighting to survive. It’s brutal. Just beyond the lense of that mysterious portal called the mind’s eye is perhaps the bloodiest battlefield that exists, yet doesn’t.

      Sure, a few regrettable stories make it out and are published for the world to see, but, overall, only the strongest stories survive. Often, the strongest means the nastiest. Of course, this doesn’t mean the story should be immediately classified as horror. For horror can be found in any genre.
