Publisher's Synopsis
Some stories are of daffodils and butterflies. Others are of skulls and maggots.
We live for the stories that make us feel the sun on our face. However, there is tale and myth that have not this quality. Stories of the dark Nephilim, locked in their granite cages, slick with the sweat of terror.Their story lies within the asbestos chalk that forms in your mind before screaming. Their story is the jump when you wake from falling. They are the sons of their fallen fathers, from the same womb as our proud race... Pale in the sun, afraid of the light. They wait, sharpening fang and claw to devour those unaware of their proposed feast. The brother of man, the terror of the night. The plague of Genesis chapter 6. Their stories must be known. Adelphoi is a form of the Greek word: "adelphos" which simply means: "my brother" but more literally means: "progeny of my mother's womb." Explore with me the offspring of a tainted man, those creatures mentioned only by dim candlelight in the dusty apartments of those who dare read such stories. Be it vampire or cyber-man other such rough beast, there is a story in this collection for you. For fans of: Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, Stephen King's Night Shift & Skeleton Crew, and Clive Barker's Books of Blood. Content Warning: This novel contains explicit wording, content, and profanity, supernatural evil, self-harm, rape, abuse, and murder. Please read with care. Author's Note: As with all true horror stories, the goal is to survive to the end. I find that there is hope at the end of every tunnel, but getting there is often a horrifying and bloody mess. That being said, these are true horror stories. Collection Includes:Short Stories
