Update

Writing on the novella has officially begun!  After a couple weeks of getting the outline right it's time to get to it.  Everything (kindle cover, dedication, table of contents, etc) is complete so all I have to do is focus on the story and then formatting (simple if you take precautions).  The hardest part for me is the beginning.  That first line that becomes the first paragraph.  Now, that I've taken care of that the juices are flowing nicely.  I'm going to take my time with this and since it is my first short novel (may grow into a full on novel we'll have to see) don't expect to see any release dates until new years.  I'll push for a bit sooner, but gotta make sure it's perfect before letting the cat out of the bag.

In the works

First Novella or Novel . . . Depends

Today is the first day of a new chapter in my writing life!  After years of poetry and short stories I'm ready to  step into full on novels.  My first dip in this pond will probably be a novella.  I'm not committed to that format, but the story I'm working on seems like it'll work in the 20,000 word area.  If it goes above and beyond without compromising the flow of the story then so be it.

I'm actually excited about this story because I'll be stepping out of my comfort zone and attempting a romance.  Well, at its core it'll be a romance but anybody who's familiar with my work will know that something sinister will keep this out of the romance section.  Basically, that thing is human nature which is more frightening than any zombie or vampire could ever be.  So, I'm giving myself a deadline of January 1, 2013.  By then it should be written, proofread, re written, edited, and ready for consumption.

I don't talk about details of my writings and keep everything secret until completion.  This is the last I'll mention this until it's time for advertising.  With the Cannibal anthology coming soon and another "secret" anthology being worked on right behind it I'll have plenty to talk about in the mean time.

I'm also looking to connect with artists who can illustrate professional book covers so drop me a line if that's you!

Horror Double Pack

The Horror of Sobriety

by Bryan Jackson

I’m walking around in the light of day

and, I can’t tell if I’m dreaming

is that person laying in the street screaming?

Everyone’s face blurs and decays

my vision hasn’t been focused in days.

Conversations with others seem hollow because there’s no connection

avoiding these moving simpletons,

I wander till I see a window booming my harsh reflection.

I stare into myself searching for living confirmation

my mind fights me,

so I drink in a ruthless retaliation.

Bottles of cheap vodka lay agonizingly empty

I drank them down like there was plenty.

Only a bowls worth of weed is left unsmoked

not a good time for me to be provoked.

The lady of the house knows well of my disease

and, like an angel delivers Brandy to give reprieve.

Brandy straight with ice while smoking Loud,

makes my mind conform

although, no one who loves me is proud.

They aren’t my concern, I need a release

being inebriated brings on a great peace.

No inhibitions makes for great fucking

some sensations are dulled

as noticed during vigorous oral sucking.

Now, I can be inspired and with a fire set I create

I’m aware that you may not be able to relate.

That’s a positive as I am not to be idolized

leave me drunk and writing,

so that hellish fantasizes may be realized. 

The Horror of Death

by Bryan Jackson

The funeral home has been standing for generations

burying many, thousands sent through uncompromising incinerations.

The walls pulsate with all the sorrow they’ve witnessed

loved ones crying for friends and family snatched from existence.

Pain and horror collect below where corpses are stored

to witness their death and aftermath would leave the squeamish floored.

A woman falls victim to an insecure and abusive spouse

she’s beaten to death with fists in her marital house.

Once beautiful and desired by many, often envied by most

now she lays split with a Y-incision

reliving the pain and watching on as a ghost.

A man set fire to himself in an unloving brick home

his burns so severe that there’s char on the bone.

Burnt, blackened flesh that smells of hot hell

resides in a clear bag in the freezer

where gases cannot cause the body to swell.

Just two examples of the coroner’s countless clients

an educated person indeed but,

not even a coroner can explain the aftermath of death with science.

Working to preserve the body and each individual’s beauty

now that’s not only stressful, but a great and honorable duty.

As always, evil will find its way in

not even the medical profession is unsusceptible to sin.

A not so mangled body lays waiting with absolutely no say

the perverse mortician sees it as a toy with which to play.

The horror of death scars and taints souls

only to have a strange doctor violate once pleasurable holes.

Surrounded by death it soon becomes hard to relate to those still alive

in order to cope one crosses boundaries and with the dead they swive! 

Cannibalism Fact is nastier than fiction

You can't pay for publicity like this!!  This is some horrible shit done by some truly evil people, but it happens before the anthology I'm included in comes out so how could I resist.  Click the links to read the stories.
