Are you being followed...? Even by a great little read that's hungering for your... Winter Book List?
It's a short read to be sure, but it is priced at the minimum retail figure that my publisher would allow. It won't break your budget, but it may blow your mind in its brief reading time; you may want to read it twice or more! The 'experiment' factor is that I wrote it with the assistance of an A.I. engine. Surprisingly it still required a heavy dose of original content and editing! This will not become an ongoing practice here at Fosterical... Rob promises that all (or now most) of his books will be 100% from his brain and cramping typing fingers, as a pledge of his devotion to YOU, his readership!
In the meantime, give it a browse, won't you? It's still Rob's usual flavor of ecclectic and fun adventurism... if 'adventurism' is even a word.
HUNTED FROM BEYOND
The actual phenomena that inspired my book 'YOU CAN RUN,' is a brief missive about the notion of certain urban legends and folklorish accounts of supernatual predators that saturate our current pop culture interest in such characters as Slenderman and others of his ilk. How much of this societal interest was begun by such creators as Bram Stoker, and playfully propagated by John Carpenter and others from the world of modern entertainment? And more surreally, do we actually manifest these monsters into reality by obsessing on them? We explore this idea here, and suggest how to confront these manifest apparitions of abstract terror. Don't worry, it will not draw one of them to you, though if your fevered imagination takes over... READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. You've been warned... And in the meantine, shop Rob's usual collection of scarily fascinating reads. Here's a few examples:
NO EXIT
It may share its title with a number of better-known works, but if you enjoy science fiction mystery with a twist, you ought to give this voracious volume a look.
Journalist Michael Arc mysteriously disappeared in 2003. In the years following, all written and photographic evidence of his existence began to disappear as well. Before he vanished, he was working on the bizarre topic of time travel and certain nefarious forces who may be using it to alter the past and create a new future that favors their evil. Evil like the Allies’ loss of World War II, like a certain thwarted assassination attempt in Dallas, and other historical game-changing events! Arc’s secret files have now been discovered! Astonishing tales of chrono-chaos; there's historical chicanery, alien agendas, confused scientists, mysterious strangers… even a dinosaur!
If they drop the big one tomorrow, you won't sweat it, having survived the terrifying tale contained in…
YOU CAN RUN: A Horror Novella
Who are they? What are they? The world of supernatural lore knows them only as “marchers.” Ancient ethereal predators from beyond the veil. For centuries they have hunted humans, silently, relentlessly. With no concept of mercy, they cannot be pleaded with, and pursue their victims to the death – those whom by unholy mischief or betrayal, become marked. Once a marcher has latched on, the hunted have only one option – to run, for as long as possible, with a desperation to pass the mark onto some other unwitting soul, and hope the new victim can as well, lest the mark fall back to them after that person is caught and devoured. Troy Terrill, a young upstart in the game of paranormal investigation, finds himself the only hope of not one, but two cursed people with marchers on their trail. Can he rid them of their pursuing abominations? Can anyone? Don’t dwell upon the answer too deeply; the act of pondering a marcher gives it your scent...
While you're busy being scared, again... you may want to laugh as well... with Rob's latest offering...
Oliver Akers thought he was the worst stand-up comic in Hollywood. That is until he saw the act of a guy named Joey Lou Dillerbacher… along with the rest of the Dillerbacher showbiz clan. It only gnawed at him more, that they got gigs despite being awful. Gig after gig after gig – they are so under-talented and over-rewarded, they'd p.o. the Pope. Even worse, Oliver suddenly finds himself on a relentless loop crossing their path! On a multi-state road trip yet. With his own career going south fast, Oliver must somehow pull his funny out of freefall to survive, physically and emotionally – especially when he stumbles onto the secret side mission of these horrible, but well-connected, performers, and becomes one of their targets.
