Black, White and Red All Over at In Between Altered States

Santa Muerte takes us to Jerusalem in "Black, White, and Red All Over" at In Between Altered States. The theme this month is salvation, and its always neat to read all the contributions together. The collective subconscience is amazing when a group of people are asked to write on a similiar subject.


Sincere Thank You to editor, Aleathia Drehmer.

Also, special thank yous to Sean Monaghan, Angel Zapata, and Lori Titus for the write ups they've done for "Mantra" and "Free Mercury" this last month. And extra appreciation to Erin Cole & Chris Allinotte for their encouragement and to others for reviews on Pulp Ink & Laughing at the Death Grin! anthologies and my stories within.  I don't know what I'd do without the support of my writing family. 

"Free Mercury" at Beat to a Pulp

Horror.

Some think a Mantra can keep it from happening to them, others induce it into sick Halloween Games. It often bumps in the night casting shadows against the walls, hiding under your bed with a knife.  Sometimes, though, horror is a simple melt of our vulnerabilities over blistering hot lava.

The only hope is to "FREE MERCURY"




Thank you, as always, to the wonderful editor of Beat to a Pulp, David Cranmer.

Happy Halloween!

Pulp Metal Fiction Anthology ~ Laughing At The Death Grin

What goes through your mind when you think of PULP METAL MAGAZINE? It's like a ouja board of the dirty spirits of pulp, Slayer, bleeding scars, time balloons rising up up and way. And when the balloons pop, out frolic the likes of Melanie Browne, Ian Ayris, Chris Rhatigan,  Richard Godwin, UV Ray, Charlie Coleman, Frank Duffy, myself, and many others.

"Laughing At The Death Grin!" is one collection of classics you don't want to miss. Many thanks to PMM dictator and editor, Jason Michel. Purchase at $.99 for limited time.

"Mantra" at All Due Respect

What do you do when their whispers build to screams? When they crawl from front to back asking the same questions over and over? The serpent knows, so does the old bird.

MANTRA 

at All Due Respect

Many, many thanks to ADR founding Editor,
Alec Cizak, for publishing Mantra, his wonderful support, and lovely introduction.










P.s. Every October someone loses a head around my house, my fictional character's house, that is. This story is one of what I am beginning to call my 2 AM stories. The images and thoughts 'Mantra' stirred kept me awake til dawn, not writing it, but the mere disturbing nature of it all. I hope you find the story just as deliciously frightful. Sweet dreams. ~ J.
