Here's a snippet of what's to come! Enjoy the introduction to "Workaholic," which can be ordered from Something Or Other Publishing @ https://soopllc.com/product/Workaholic/
My father was a workaholic. The old man had slaved his days away in the coal mines—proud to be doing his part to fuel Appalachia, but a stranger at the dinner table where my mother always kept a plate ready. They taught me as a child that hard, dedicated work was the path of righteousness, something to aspire to. Be devoted to your employers, and they’ll be loyal to you. Earn your keep and they will reward you. In the end, all I earned was an empty pill bottle and this lousy pickaxe.
The blade was dull when I pulled it from the dark closet, stained with years of rust from neglect. A physical symbol of my labor’s burden, the tool dragged after me, scraping against the rough tile floor of the office where I used to work. Admittedly, I was no longer sure whether the wake of red flakes left behind was corrosion or blood. Despite the bright, shining lights and the bitter silence, I could no longer distinguish between what was real and what wasn’t. My former coworkers cowered under their desks while I shuffled. Quiet, as they had been when they all saw me drowning, and praying to the God that forsook us when I passed. One of the faceless screamed when the tip of the ax crashed through the wall of her cubicle. Removing it decapitated the kitschy kitten poster that bolstered everyone to “hang in there.”
I did hang in there. I had gripped the edge of sanity with my fingernails.

The Weird Gathering (John Greenleaf Whittier) & Other Tales, an excellent tome collecting tales and prose of ‘“Supernatural” Women in American Popular Fiction, 1800 - 1850’ with works by Elizabeth P. Hall, E.F. Ellett, James Hogg, Volney Howard, Clara Guernsey, Emma C. Embury and many other authors lost to time. Definitely a passion project for editor Ronald Curran (who also edited Witches, Wraiths & Warlocks). I’ve had this nearly 600 page paperback since high school and it definitely filled my head with images of sabbats on the Brocken, magick poppets, haunted objects and places at a formidable age. Published 1979 Fawcett Crest. #occultpaperbacks #witchesinliterature #johngreenleafwhittier #theweirdgathering #horrorpaperbacks https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWAY_pnfuB/?igshid=4yekj3amvcss

Christopher Alan Broadstone @texaspoetrope A Catch In Time A CATCH IN TIME is for those who love POE, BARKER and THE TWILIGHT ZONE. Weaving together psychological horror and alternative history with theater of the absurd, A CATCH IN TIME marks the triumphant and genre-defying return of dark fantasist Christopher Alan Broadstone following last year's SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: AND OTHER TALES OF THE INNERZONE. Christopher Alan Broadstone is the author of the macabre-thriller PUZZLEMAN. His latest novella A CATCH IN TIME (a dark alternative-history thriller) is now available on Amazon and the relative short film, A CATCH IN TIME: CHAPTER ONE is now available on the HUMAN NO MORE Blu-ray. His short story, NOTE-TO-SELF, is included in the anthology JOURNALS OF HORROR: FOUND FICTION (edited by Terry M. West). SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: AND OTHER TALES FROM THE INNERZONE is an in-depth collection of Brodastone's never-before-released short stories, screenplays, and lyrics/poetry. Writer and director, C.A. Broadstone has produced three award-winning short films to date, SCREAM FOR ME (Best Short Film: NYC Horror Film Festival, Best Underground Short: B-Independent.com), MY SKIN! (Best Horror Short: Shriekfest Film Festival [L.A.], Creative Vision Award: International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival [Phoenix, AZ], Best Film/Director: Cinema Edge Awards), and HUMAN NO MORE (Best Horror Short: The Indie Gathering Film Festival [OH]). Also, he has completed two feature length screenplays, COLOR OF FLAME, an erotic ghost story, and, with actor/writer John Franklin (Isaac from 'Children of the Corn'), RETARD (Best Horror Feature Screenplay: Shriekfest Film Festival [L.A.]). In total, C.A. Broadstone's films have been showcased on several horror compilation DVDs, have screened at 30 international film festivals, and have won 15 'Best Of' awards. All three films are currently available on the anthology DVD, 3 DEAD GIRLS! at Texas POEtrope--Books, Films, Music @ www.poetrope.com Texas POEtrope BOOKS @ http://www.poetrope.com/Books.html Texas POEtrope FILMS @ http://www.poetrope.com/Films.html #amreadingthrillers #macabrebooks #horrorpaperbacks #bookstagram #paperbacksciencefiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CKMRsJ_A_BH/?igshid=5y4k5vgfmzla
