TALK TO THE HAND, DEATH


Can a man really fight a battle with death?
How about simply win a fight with an angel of death?
This, I have to say... Talk To The Hand Death!

SNM








TALK TO THE HAND, DEATH

I'm going to fight death until one of us gives in.
How I'm going to do that is the mystery, indeed.
There are books of magic and charm cabochons and various decoctions for me to obtain.
Can I use such wizardry to beat back death... odds are against me, but I will die trying!

WHAT THE HELL COULD GO WRONG


When you live the 'life isolated,'
You do as the land and life allows you to do.
You live off the land and the land lives off you.
And if you become sick on this land,
Your only remedy might come from the land...
Or, if the sickness is stronger than nature,
Black magic might need to be sought out.
And in the back of your mind,
As the sage burns and the chicken blood is splattered,
The question should be begged... What The Hell Could Go Wrong?

COL








WHAT THE HELL COULD GO WRONG

(Central Okefenokee Swamp)



The fortnight living nightmare started as a high pitch ringing deep inside Ben Coltson's left ear.
Then came the blurred vision, then came the slurred speech and then came the hallucinations.
Old wives tales medication was useless... it was now time to pay a visit to the only doctor around.
That doctor, Momma Sue, practiced old magic... voodoo magic... zombie magic... dangerous magic... unpredictable swamp magic.

COUNTERMAGIC


That old black magic...
It is a killer!
Unless you know... Countermagic!

SWL








COUNTERMAGIC  (AN EXCERPT)


Deep inside the horror woods lives a reclusive woman... who might practice the blackest of magic.
It is said by campfire story tellers, who talk in whispers, that she is true evil... even though she is beautiful.
Men have gone in to her... to love her or to kill her... but, none have ever returned to tell their tale.
Sir Marc of Biscayne has made his difficult way to her door... harboring his own secrets... like the fact that he is a Warlock!

THE LESS I THINK ABOUT KATRINA


Some anniversaries are just useless facts to be forgotten...
Unless the remembrance includes memories of death and destruction.
Respect must be paid in full to those who lost their property and their lives!
And after that bill comes in,
I only want to focus on this fact...
The Less I think About Katrina!

RLJ








THE LESS I THINK ABOUT KATRINA

(New Orleans, Louisiana)


Katrina, you raged onto the shoreline of Louisiana that morning in a tantrum too hellish to comprehend.
Nature was using you to express its right to destroy anything man made... and everything nature made.
But there was one man made thing, Katrina, that you could not destroy -- the human spirit's will to survive!
Things will never be the same, but... the magic and the might and the spirit are alive and well in Louisiana, Katrina!

A MOST DANGEROUS MAN ON THE EARTH


I'm just a lady who wants to live my life in peace,
Raise my kids,
Enjoy my husband and...
Keep everyone safe.
And then I turn on the TV... 
And I have to see HIM talking his bullshit nonsense!
Crazy insane talk from...
A Most Dangerous Man On The Earth!

BAP







A MOST DANGEROUS MAN ON THE EARTH

Hello, horror world, I'm Betty Ann Parkman... and just a few days ago I received the fright of my life while watching Fox News.
A prominent politician with the initials 'Mike Huckabee' proclaimed another of his horrific talking points.
He declared that "The military has one purpose... to kill people and to break things!"
In a dead planet science fiction horror fantasy, a religious psychopath like this man starts the World War to bring Armageddon... his ultimate 'Book Of Revelations' wet dream fantasy... and I am so afraid!

GUN METAL BLUES


The rapture came.
It wasn't the souls of the people that left the earthly plane.
It was the instruments of planetary misery and hellishness that vanished.
And, who gives a damn about those of you with your... Gun Metal Blues!

RLJ







GUN METAL BLUES

(Herndon, Virginia)



What would happen to the billions of peoples of this world if all of a sudden... 
All of the weapons that are guns on the planet earth mysteriously vanished into thin air?
Imagine if every weapon capable of firing a projectile from a muzzle simply was erased from reality!
Would the billions of regular folks who hate guns give a fuck about the millions of gun crazies and their... Gun Metal Blues?

HOW TEXAS DEALS WITH AN ILLEGAL ALIEN


The alien came to America for reasons known only to itself.
In the present climate of North American citizen craziness,
There is absolutely no tolerance for them from out there.
And this is Texas, by God!
And, this is... How Texas Deals With An Illegal Alien!

ALO









HOW TEXAS DEALS WITH AN ILLEGAL ALIEN

(San Antonio, Texas)

The terrified alien from outer space was captured last night by the militarized officers from the SAPD.
22 strong, they pounced upon the alien's space craft and forcefully dragged its inhabitant out onto the green grass of the +Sonterra Blue Apartments.
They were violent and angry and forceful... and frightened the holy hell out of this being from beyond our sky.
As they dragged its limp, beaten body from the glowing space craft, they should have paid attention to the blinking red light of the thermonuclear self-destruct button it pushed during their attack!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE ME TO FOLLOW YOU (AN EXCERPT)


My life had no purpose or meaning.
And then I met you.
You could have me for sex,
If you wanted to,
But you want me for something more metaphysical than that.
Tell me when you are ready to give it to me, because...
You Don't Have To Convince Me To Follow You!

DWK









YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE ME TO FOLLOW YOU  (AN EXCERPT)

(Masterson, Texas)


Dead John, you can tell me anything you want me to hear and I'll follow you anywhere you take me.
How can I refuse to join your cult when I watched, with my own two eyes, you rise from the dead?
When you clarified to me the point that God and Satan are, in fact, both sibling deities as old as time itself,
I realized my life might actually have been a twisted upside down morality play... and you don't have to convince me to follow you!

THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (16)



The dead walk the earth as homicidal cannibals who eat the living!
The living have mostly been murdered and consumed.
I, Jason Allen Cranston, am alive.
My mission in life,
Before I am eventually cornered and bitten,
Is to find somebody else alive... anybody!

JAC







THE HOMICIDAL DEAD  (16)


I've decided that I'm no longer going to refer to the homicidal dead as the infected dead.
I'm convinced that the bizarre pattern of ever changing colors up there in the sky is the reason the impossible is possible.
The dead that rise from death appear to become more aggressive as the lights shift to brighter hues..
Do the homicidal dead feel the burn of the atmosphric lights... or do they only see my flesh and my brain!!

THE INSECT INVASION BEGINS


"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."
Nobody said the meek would necessarily be human.
And so...
The Insect Invasion Begins!

RLJ







THE INSECT INVASION BEGINS

(Lone Pine, California)



What creatures be they that will overtake the earth as mankind continues to throw it into chaos?
Undoubtedly, it will be the insects... god help mankind if the insect takeover is made by bloodsucking insects.
A month ago it was the ants and last week it was the bees and today it is various forms of Seed Bugs.
The shift to insects that will hunt mankind is surly near... and, may nature have mercy on us all when that happens!

In the heat and the humidity of the deepest south,
I closed my eyes and cried about...
What I Learned Today!

RLJ







WHAT I LEARNED TODAY

Today, I learned that deep down in Alabama is just as frightening a place as I always imagined it to be!
The message is 'excorise them from the streets of our lives, even if their absence cuts off our social noses.'
The bigoted politicians down there recently passed the most draconian anti-immigration law in the USA!
A GOP Trump visited the state today... endorsed by the state's most racist GOP politician... can I unlearn what I just learned?

COP FIRST EXECUTIONER SECOND

"Hey Sargent Smith, it smells like death took a shit in here and smeared it all over the walls!"
"Officer Ramirez, I've asked you to show respect when we enter into crime scenes like this, OK?"
"Look Sargent, I shot that pervert bastard right between his eyes and I've got no respect for this madness!"
"Shh, Officer... a sound over there in the back bedroom... looks like you might get to be serial killer executioner, again!"

EAT DRINK AND NOT BE EATEN

Thank god in heaven, if god actually exists, for the millions of bottles of bottled water to be found.
When the dead in the ground began to rise after the ugly dark rains from "Off The Ocean" began,
All of us living were mortified at the prospect of drinking horrifying H2O that reanimates dead tissue!
The one positive caveat to living among The Homicidal Dead is -- they don't eat, or drink, what I eat, he said with a sarcastic grin!

THE ORIGIN OF YOU


Cosmina listened quietly as her captor spoke to her about nothings she cared about.
The chains attached to the ankle collars on both of her legs kept her right where she was.
She realized,
 All too well,
That he was wasting time entertaining himself as he waited for her blood to regenerate.
Here we go,
She thought with a silent sigh,
More about... The Origin Of You!

CVD







THE ORIGIN OF YOU

(Chicago, Illinois)

Its funny how where you are from can tell the people of your world everything about you.
Profound assumptions can be made about someone indigenous to a state in the deep south.
Or, deep assumptions can be formed about people from, say, upper east coast states.
Me... I come from Transylvania, Romania... in 1743... so, what does that tell you about me?

THE SOUND OF CRICKETS (AN EXCERPT)


Driving along Highway 81 during its mountain pass phase is a crazy experience.
Navigating the roadway at night is more crazy.
Now, breaking down out there in the middle of the mountainous nowhere?
That is a whole other horror proposition, indeed.
Remember, how much comfort be there in... The Sound Of Crickets?

THE SOUND OF CRICKETS  (AN EXCERPT)

...It's Witching Hour midnight on the shoulder of Highway 81... and Molly Boss is pissed at the loud crickets..
Her brand new +BMW just broke down on this Shenandoah pass, a few miles outside of Strasburg.
Normally, this windingly dangerous highway is full of traffic on both sides of the large weed covered median.
But, why won't her cell phone work... what is that smell... where are the cops... and why have the crickets stopped screaming?...

When Does Sleep Become Death?

WHEN DOES SLEEP BECOME DEATH

Oh, it is a real horror show when you can’t fall asleep at 4:32 AM!
You there, lying coma-like in your bed, staring up into the darkness where the ceiling is...
Counting sheep and counting beer bottles... sleep does not come to you tonight!
The fact that you have been dead for three weeks does not make matters any better.

Ah, 
The sweet warm burn straight down to...
The Demon At The Bottom Of The Bottle.

THE DEMON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTLE

It never starts out innocently when an alcoholic twists the cap off that bottle of whiskey.
Straight evil instantly waifs up and out of the bottle, invisible, smelling like the amber trail to hell.
And when that shaky hand raises the precious elixir to wanting slobbery lips...
The demon at the bottom of the bottle smiles again with that razor sharp toothy grin of... I've got him again!

HORROR IS REAL


You don't have to explain to me why you are afraid of the dark.
Reality itself is harsh enough to cause a man to have nightmares at night.
And when you kick the surreal into the mix of what makes you afraid,
Then your conclusions about reality are justified that... Horror Is Real!

RLJ







HORROR IS REAL

Horror is real, my friends... it is war and strife and human suffering and comeback diseases.
Horror is earth rebellion catastrophes and water drought and religious dogma and human evil.
Horror is a depressing list that can go on and on... and even at the end, another topic can emerge.
This missive mentions realistic horror... don't get me started on the horrors that reside in the dark shadows of... say, your bedroom!

Pauletta was gobsmacked by the shock of Keith's appearance as he extended his right hand for a greeting.
They were meeting at a local restaurant on this warm Summer night for their blind date set-up by her sister.

The bigger they are the more challenging it is to kill them, gut them and eat them... in this case, to share his meat with Lorraine.

To close out what will be a very long day, I'll say a prayer or two for both of our damned souls.

AFTER THE GOP TAKES OVER


The acronym GOP stands for Grand Old Party.
To me, those three words have always sounded inherently racist.
Starting during the terms of the first black President,
The GOP became subhuman, abjectly gun crazy and extremely racist.
And when America succumbed to the craziness leading up to the 2016 elections,
They elected the craziest of the crazy GOP member... and hell on earth ensued.
With the House and the Senate still under Republican rule,
The rest of America scratched their collected heads and wondered out loud...

What happens After The Gop Takes Over?

QOM








AFTER THE GOP TAKES OVER

...I remember 2016 so well... the Presidency was handed over to the craziest Republican in the race.
He kept his first promise to shut down the government... eviscerating the fibre of the law and order.

China has declared martial law in America, and their first war tanks have arrived off the shores of America's oceans!...
