The Cameo & Three Others Now Available for Free

 

Last October, I released a collection of horror stories, The Cameo and Three Others. I have decided to release that book here as a free PDF. I hope y'all enjoy. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l6JkT1tMFx-xpXHl7QnxW0iSOLqamkBb/view?usp=sharing

"Four exciting Halloween tales are contained within this volume, including an interview with a glampire, a werewolf tragedy, and a monster-filled medieval homage to the horror films of Del Tenney! In the titular story 'The Cameo,' a hipster obsessed with vintage aesthetics seeks to discover the identity of a woman in a screencap of his favorite '70s TV show. The answers are more frightening than his fan instincts might have bargained for..."

The werewolf story, "Wolves of Wall Street," is kind-of-sort-of a Nick Tredor story, by having to do a bit with some stuff from Kingdom Cryptiqqa. The Del Tenney story, "The Corpse of the Living Curse," is of interest to anyone who has followed my Half-Life fanfiction, including/especially my unofficial novelization of Absolute Redemption. That story also contains a reference to a character from my grandfather Del Mayhew's as-yet-unpublished historical novel, Quiet Sleeps the Forge.

It was an English class on top of it. It wasn’t his least favorite class—but he didn’t exactly love it, either. He just wanted to get back in the game…

But he needed this class to graduate, so he knew he had to wake up quick.

He just couldn’t.

“Answer the question,” the professor repeated. “Why did Odin give up his eye?”

“I—” He felt drunk, almost. His vision seemed impaired somehow. “I don’t know.”

“Answer the question, Garcia. Why did Odin sacrifice his eye? Answer it. Answer it!
