While returning home from a short break, John and Jenny's car broke down on a remote country road, in the middle of a thunder storm. As they faced having to seek refuge from the storm at the only property in sight, an old, eerie mansion house, they felt like they were stuck in the middle of a typical horror movie from the 1970s. As the night progressed, their fears were eventually forgotten, until they returned home, where their worst nightmare became reality.This short story is also available in the book 'Terror Twister - Horror Stories with a Twist'

The first of the three-part All Saints series introduces Jimmy, a kid with a whole lot of problems. Adulthood glitters on a distant horizon, beyond the bored gazes of distracted parents and teachers, and the blood, dust and taunts of the playground. But perhaps freedom isn’t out of reach, after all. When Jimmy changes schools he encounters a pack of boys who seem to be everything he isn’t; strong, fearless, and just as untouchable as the adults in their exclusive mystical universe. More than anything, Jimmy longs to belong. Surrounded by petty crims, racists, bullies and the broken dreams of every generation before him, true friendship is a rare commodity. Jimmy might prove himself worthy, but the relentless weight of survival could test even the strongest loyalties.

A Top Secret Air Force base hanger was on full alert searching for an escaped alien body that had somehow survived the spaceship crash. Men in black and armed military jeeps were lighting the secret area with spot lights to find the unknown dead body that was now alive and running in the dark. Several miles down the hill from the secret base ran a short creature with long white fibers that glowed blue every five seconds. His long arms with red claws interlocked over his head every three steps to glide above the ground for five seconds. Brujo, the name he would be given by a local boy, stopped with a loud yell sounding screath amid glide and pierced his bright red eyes back towards the hanger. He followed with a second high pitch screath carried into the wind towards the base hoping for a returned screath. Brujo listened hoping his co-back Leffler had also survived the spaceship crash and also escaped from the secret hanger. Brujo released a final sad screath into the night wind and quickly ran his one, two, three steps interlocked his clawed hands and glided in a blue haze for five seconds towards town. He floated in a five, three, five rhythm until he reached the first house on the hill from the secret base. Brujo stared at the house high on hill by a ravine and noticed a glass portal on the side of the home. His red eyes scanned through the big picture window and fixed upon a white cloudy figure playing a large grand piano. He yelped a silent screath and thought what kind of creature is this and can it lead me to my earthly invitee known as “with love”.

School is out and Jimmy is finally free. In book two of the three-part All Saints series, we find our young hero flipping burgers in a grease joint. But for all the cow guts and blow flies, life has never been sweeter. He’s in a band, meeting girls and generally doing everything he can to abuse the freedoms of adulthood, without being encumbered by its responsibilities. Of course, every story needs a bad guy. When rival band De-Funkt hit the scene with their bullish front man Kane and his new wave electro, Jimmy is determined to show them—and Kane’s girlfriend, Anna—what real music sounds like.It was all meant to be a bit of fun, but in Jimmy’s world a lark can turn serious with a single look. Kane has secrets to keep, and the last thing he needs is a loud mouth sniffing around Anna, or the money she makes him. Both boys will do anything they can to win, and the battle of the bands may just spill out onto the streets
