Vadas

Vampire

Vadas

By Jayne Waggoner

Sometimes you flee with the hope others will forget your existence.

You hide thinking a new life can be achieved. Yet they find you. Celic chose a slum area known as Rye Hope to fade among the forgotten. Joey found him with a detective agency, Neva placed a stake to his heart, Baggy pronounced him evil, and Jo advertised for his second bite to make her immortal. Witches offered him freedom from the virus, and Barry Patrick promised to protect. They set a price. Would Celic find  it too large an amount?

 

Thorazine Mirrorball

by Jack Maeby

Welcome back, Jimmy Mack. You still crazy? His friends and fellow musicians want to know. He’s free, off anti-psychotic meds and back on the scene, playing jazz and R&B in the urban backwater of Albany, New York in 1972. Life seems almost normal until members of the soul music revue he’s working with start turning up dead, and Jimmy is the main suspect. It doesn’t help that he’s falling for Yvonne, a devastatingly beautiful singer, who may be up to her cool blue eyes in a deadly scheme.

Jimmy looks to his friend Laid, a methadone-addicted keyboard genius, and Shorty, an irascible soul-music DJ, to help him avoid the cops, the killers and his own descent back into madness. The story unfolds in the rhythms of jazz and blues, with stops at chitlin’ circuit nightclubs, gay cabarets and after-hours discotheques. Music becomes Jimmy’s refuge, as well as the key to figuring out who the real killer is. Jimmy has some hard choices to make that force him to either conquer his inner demons or be lost forever.

Beckoned

Beckoned

by Ronald Scala

When his ex-wife Margot asks to meet for dinner, Nick’s life had long been in a downward spiral. Plagued by hallucinations and voices that he attributes to his rather liberal use of alcohol, he soon discovers something far more sinister was at play. Margot reveals that both she and Nick are possessed by a demon known only to a seventeenth century Indian tribe. The creature slips unnoticed through time and space and orchestrates its victims to enact hideous acts of violence upon loved ones and neighbors. Worse, the demon, Ouintan-Mantua, is calling them both back, back to the place of their first encounter, Clarion, Pennsylvania.

Will they survive the beckoning?
