  Suicide Notes

  Suicide Notes is a collection of eight stories that take the reader to a dark place where horror resides.

  In the first story, Suicide Notes, a young girl living in Hover's Grove has lost her mother to suicide but she won't accept it. A note shows up years after the fact claiming her father was involved. She starts asking questions. The local sheriff acts weird, her father's answers are evasive. She's approached by an odd woman who warns her to be careful. Taking it upon herself to continue her sleuthing, she ends up at the mercy of the murderers. People she trusted. People she thought would protect her.

  Laying in her coffin, waiting for the witching hour as an earth sacrifice, Vanessa has no idea that her story has one more surprise left.

  In the second story, Don't Shoot, Jim has decided he wants to join the others who live in his basement apartment. He's a bachelor, living alone, but his flat is haunted. The visitors knock on the walls, move things around and torment him to no end. He begins digging through the wall and into the dirt foundation of the house, searching for the perpetrators. If they can be disruptive, then so can he. But first, he must remove his pesky landlord who harasses him about the noise. He must also come to terms with the horror that his life has become. From childhood when his mother was murdered until she visits him in his apartment, Jim commits to insanity and takes along with him a diverse understanding of reality.

  In the third story, Hatred, Walter is a real estate mogul. He buys old property and demolishes whatever's there to make way for future development. In each building he razes he removes a souvenir so the life of the house will always have a place. The problem with the current project: this house was owned by a murderer who has never been found. When he removes an antique couch, he could not know that anyone who goes near the couch grows an intense hatred for the people around them. If they sit on the couch, the need to kill is so brutal that it becomes a blinding rage. One that envelopes everything about the person and can only be satisfied by absolute destruction of your loved ones.

  When Walter attempts to rip open the cushions of the couch to discover the source of this hatred, a hell breaks through that only extreme horror could be comfortable with.
