THE DECONSTRUCTION OF SCROOGE


Ah, the fever nightmare that is A Christmas Carol!
Read it again and again to witness a masterpiece of forever horror!
But, the story was written back then.
What do you get from the story today through modern eyes with...
The Deconstruction Of Scrooge!

RLJ





THE DECONSTRUCTION OF SCROOGE

(Herndon, Virginia)


What does Santa Claus and Ebenezer Scrooge really have to do with each other in the minds of believers?
Is Santa Claus actually referenced in A Christmas Carol... is he really The Ghost of Christmas Present?
Obviously, Scrooge was guilt ridden and had surely partaken in a little too much Laudanum that fateful night!
Christmas can be a real nightmare... guilt and loneliness can make a man psychotic... and horror feels more horrible that day... be it way back then or right now today!

CAKED IN MUD (AN EXCERPT)


Days have passed since Carla Ohn's 3 day ordeal in the Santa Monica mountains!
She still cannot believe that all 110 pounds of her 5'5" frame beat hardcore nature!
Oh, she believed she was going to die several times!
But, as she discovered during the ordeal, all she needed was her wits!
Oh yea, and make sure that your adversary is... Caked In Mud!

CAO





CAKED IN MUD  (AN EXCERPT)

(Santa Monica, California)


The mountain lion looked oh-so-pitiful as it was writhing in pain while trying to keep afloat in the mud hole!
Carla Ohn's 3 day excursion into the depths of hell was now almost over... and she was so happy!
Her evening jog, 3 days ago, morphed into a twisted cat and human terror tale of wilderness survival!
"I won, goddamn it!" She spat those words at the huge cat staring at her with now pitiful eyes... and she was not falling for it... the cat has to die tonight!

RADIATION BURNS


Sometimes horror is the greatest irony!
And today,
12-19-2018,
Everybody in my oft times insane America looks like me because of...
Radiation Burns!

RLJ





RADIATION BURNS

(Herndon, Virginia)


I remember the days long past when I thought my life was the normal way to live!
Oh, by no means was my life realized in a utopia... this is the USA, for god's sake!
Things could be tough for a man of my color, but... I am a proud American, anyway!
And then they voted HIM into the presidency... and he opened his stupid mouth... and then the bombs fell in my USA... and today, everyone is my color... from the radiation burns!

EVEN TREE SPIRITS SUFFER THE COLD (AN EXCERPT)


Sergio Drivas brought Kraneia to America 52 years ago when he was a 6 year old.
She was given to him by his grandfather who insisted that young Sergio take good care of her.
Sergio did just that... and she still occupies the safety of the center of his large backyard garden.
They have had quite a life together and it is too bad that he is aging like the mortal he is.
Anyway, Kraneia is tough and the outdoors existence is her reality.
And on a bitter cold night like tonight... Even Tree Spirits Suffer The Cold!

EVEN TREE SPIRITS SUFFER THE COLD  (AN EXCERPT)

(Cascades, Virginia)


"My, oh my!" Exclaimed the ever gloriously beautiful Hamadryad of the backyard garden!
She is shivering inside the comfortable space of the thriving Dogwood tree she is forever bonded to!
Her gardener master wrapped her vigorous Dogwood in thick burlap to ward off the frigid cold of this night!
Polar vortex, she heard her master say... what is a polar vortex, she asks herself... she never felt this kind of horrific cold when she was first rooted in Greece fifty years ago!

ALWAYS IN THE HUNT


From one corner of this vast country to another corner,
And everywhere in-between,
I search for those things that go bump in the night that bring you horror!
Tonight, I am in a small town off-the-beaten pathway of the mainstream!
I am here, and as usual, I am... Always In The Hunt!

ALS





ALWAYS IN THE HUNT

(Surry, Maine)


Now I, Allen Sanderson, never wanted to be a poltergeist exterminator!
But when the most destructive of supernatural ghost entities kills your wife... oh, well!
The things I've seen, and the things I've done, makes me hate them even more!
Those noises haunting the halls and rooms of your home might be what I'm after... call me... because, I'm always in the hunt!

ZOMBIE HUNT


The hunt is on!
The rumors are out there in the public!
Zombies are real and they are biting people!
The cops and the National Guard and the military are flooding the streets!
They are on a... Zombie Hunt!

RLJ





ZOMBIE HUNT

(The Bronx, New York City, New York)


The dead girl was still warm... an estimated six hours later... and that was not the weird thing about her!
Det. Jones and Det. Jon Marks, and the forensic team, were all floored as usual by the zombie scene!
The bite to her left hand was pronounced and angrily red... and the white foam in the wound was ugly!
Both detectives, guns already in their hands, gave each other that knowing look of who would shoot her in the head... as she opened her glazed eyes and bared her foam covered teeth!

THICK BLOOD (AN EXCERPT)


Samantha Mae has already forgotten that she was attacked three nights ago!
She was grabbed off the jogging trail, dragged into the woods and bitten in her neck!
Three nights later, she has emerged from the bushes feral and hungry for humans as food!
She is now an undead feral stalker of the living, and she craves... Thick Blood!

RLJ





THICK BLOOD  (AN EXCERPT)

(Richmond, Virginia)


...The first time Samantha tasted blood, the pulsing gush of wet iron rushing into her mouth, she almost threw up!
Through the blood red haze of her new feral mindset, the evil hunger kept the blood flowing to her gut!
After she drained her victim, she instinctively snapped his lifeless neck... he would not come back undead!
It was almost sunrise time, now... the sleepiness was overtaking her... her skin was already warming... time to hide in the dark of the day... until the next night!...

DEEP DOWN SOUTH WHERE THE BLOOD IS ALWAYS WARM


It was a hard life, being a 100 year old vampire in Chicago!
The winters were brutal on an already cold undead body!
And then, one day, the vampire had a eureka thought!
That thought was about... 
Deep Down South Where The Blood Is Always Warm!

RLJ





DEEP DOWN SOUTH WHERE THE BLOOD IS ALWAYS WARM

Miami Beach, Florida)


Angelique really loves the throbbing nightlife in the always warm and hopping Miami Beach area!
The best thing she ever did, 75 years ago, was to move to Florida where her blood is always warm!
If she could actually see her reflection in a mirror she would marvel at her pale, but ever 24 year old, skin!
All it took was one bite to her neck to make her forever young... and all it takes is one nightly bite to a neck to keep her forever young!

I REMEMBER THE DAY TO REMEMBER


Christmas is soon to come to Travis County!
And somewhere in this vast area, someone will die on that night!
It will be another unsolved bloody axe murder!
And like a shadow ghost, the murderer will vanish again.
He knows who he is... activated when he remembered...
I Remember The Day To Remember!

RLJ






I REMEMBER THE DAY TO REMEMBER

(Austin State Hospital, Austin, Texas)


Allen Lambert, long time patient at this psychiatric facility, just gained a moment of clarity!
Through the mental haze of his psychosis, and the stabilizing drugs, he remembered today!
Today is the day for him to focus his madness on what he must do, again, on Christmas night!
He giggles as he remember his escape plan... still not discovered in 21 years... where he will dig up the axe... bathe in the gore... and be back, again, before the night is done!

WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT (AN EXCERPT)


We only have one planet earth!
Mankind appears to be hell bent on destroying it!
The time is soon to come when saviors might emerge!
And when they do appear, mankind will be their targets!
They will come soon... When The Time Is Right!

RLJ





WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT  (AN EXCERPT)

(Owens Valley, California)


The stupid humans fight their ignorantly dangerous battles up on the surface of the earth!
Down below the surface, where dark dwellers of the horror lay in wait, another battle stews!
There are creatures and things down in the caves and cracks and the water that have had enough!
The slashing and the burning and the bombing of the earths crust must end... and soon they will emerge to enact vengeance... monster style!

PERSONALITY TYPES


That man read some insanity igniting drivel on the Internet! 
That man loaded his guns into his car!
He then drove to Washington, D.C.!
He walked into a certain pizza joint looking for trouble!
He shot up the place!
And the police did not kill him... they arrested him!
And now starts the assessment of his... Personality Type!

RLJ





PERSONALITY TYPES

(Washington, DC)


No two people on this planet earth are the same as the other person seen as another!
What makes you a passive wallflower is not what makes another a cocky motherfucker!
And what makes that one a sane sentinel does not make this one a homicidal gun stroking lunatic!
The horror in the story of what makes a certain personality is terrifying in its complexity... made awful when a gun is in certain hands!

MADE IN CHINA (AN EXCERPT)


Mattie Jones has lived all of her 12 years among the DC rubble.
She was born days after the first bombs of destruction fell.
She, and her mother, eke out an existence among the DC survivors...
In a relatively leaderless America! 
And every time Mattie's mother thinks about the hell they live in,
She remembers the words on the decal on a piece of bomb shrapnel... 
Made In China!

RLJ





MADE IN CHINA  (AN EXCERPT)

(Washington, DC)


...From way up in the sky, looking up from the ground, the object looked totally innocent.
Was it an airplane, or was it a large bird, or was it a wind swept balloon drifting across the sky?
But, to the crowd of curious watchers, it became obvious that death was actually falling toward them!
The first ICBM from China fell directly onto these Washington, DC residents... destroying them all, along with the most ignorantly racist American President in history!...
