Over the years I have compiled a series of horror and science fiction short stories. As with my longer works, I have blurred the lines between horror, science fiction, and fantasy by including actual history, science, and folklore. Please look for Lovecraftian, Poe, time travel and extra dimensional elements. The longest story in this collection is an investigation, partially true, on my neighbor being a witch. I wanted to write a story that incorporated my background as an investigator, emergency services person, self-defense trainer and prospector. You will find my emergency service first responder, security, martial arts resume after the investigation. I wanted to include humor, satire, and artwork as in previous books. There is a series of fake news articles I hope you find amusing. I wrote a skit on engineers turning into MBA zombies, further exploring the horror comedy theme. I also attempted to exercise my filmmaking muscles. There are links to a short horror film in the witch neighbor story, and my version of the Simpsons Steamed Hams meme. Both the horror film and Steamed Hams are on my author portfolio www.zuriky.com.
