  • Your Dreams Taste Like Candy: Horror Stories From the Depths of the Internet

    P. F. McGrail, Taylor Tate

    eBook (Delora Publishing, Oct. 28, 2019)
    These stories are inappropriate.But that’s the cost of pushing boundaries.It’s impossible to be scared if you know what’s coming next, so this book thrives on the unpredictable. Some tales are horrifying, others are simply disgusting, several are kinky, and a few will make you cry. Short stories are interwoven with longer series, and two guest authors ensure that the variety will make each turn of the page a surprise.What early readers are saying:“I started at 12 a. m. It's now 6 a. m., and I am still reading this amazing creation. I love how the world building and plot creations are perfect for each scenario. I hope to read more from this author (you should too) and hope that they make it big.”★★★★★ Review“P. F. McGrail never disappoints with his stories. I read the whole book in one binge session. He has a style that is so different from most authors. He keeps you entranced and itching to read the next story ASAP, so having almost all new ones in one place was such a treat.”★★★★★ Review“I adore this author and will always enjoy the quality spook he works so hard to provide. I can't wait to see what other incredible content he produces.”★★★★★ Review“Each story is the perfect length… the thought provoking narratives will follow you through your day and keep you coming back for more.”★★★★★ Review

  • Seriously...What Am I Doing Here?: The Adventures of a Wondering and Wandering Gay Jew

    Ken Schneck, 1984 Publishing

    Audible Audiobook (1984 Publishing, July 3, 2017)
    Escapism to adventure (for non-adventurers). Does the geographic cure actually work? Through a fast-paced journey of saying yes to the unfamiliar, pack your bags and set out into the world with a gay Jew determined to answer that universal question of Seriously...What Am I Doing Here? Never having been on an adventure, Ken Schneck finds himself stumbling twice into rural Uganda; signing up for a 425-mile bike ride; stirring up drama at a Californian hippie healing retreat; and somehow standing up straight with a colossal backpack strapped to his shoulders deep in the backwoods of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. This occasionally heartbreaking, often insightful, and reliably witty travelogue has at its core our never-ending search for meaning, our desperate need to grasp that elusive sense of place and community, and how we often fail to succeed (sometimes hilariously so!) but keep right on trying.
