Pickthorn has selected some great stories as a sequel to his first
book, "Short Stories By Pickthorn." "The Pickthorn Chronicles"
brings us new accounts of horrific, blood chilling adventures as
well as heart warming stories that may bring forth a tear or two.
Suspense, mystery, humor, and intrigue are a few adjectives that
describe the highly entertaining narratives that we have come to
expect from Alfred J. Pickthorn. 'Horror In Alaska' describes the
terrible ordeal three people face after their plane crashes in the
Alaskan wilderness. The fight for survival takes an evil twist as
the wife of the injured pilot and her lover, the pilot's junior
partner, decide to leave the injured man at the crash site,
believing that he would soon die from his injuries and the freezing
temperature. The conniving lovers manage to reach freedom and
safety and they then divert the rescue mission, to a different
location, far from the actual crash site. Confident, their
dastardly plot would never be discovered, the villainous pair would
now take over a thriving business and live a life of luxury, or so
they thought. From the 'Horror In Alaska' the author treats the
reader to another murder mystery with the grisly murder of two
prominent citizens, who are the parents of a young man who has a
burning ambition to succeed in life but prefers to inherit his
wealth rather than to work for it; he engages a mentally impaired
girl to help him reach that goal. The young girl is known as 'Dumb
Dora.' If you prefer a nostalgic, warm and neighborly story, then
you should enjoy the adventure of a young lad, who risks the
displeasure of an old man and his bulldog, by stealing plums from
the tree in the man's backyard. The 'old geezer' protects his plums
and his property by shooting trespassers with his BB gun and then
lets Spike (his bulldog) chase the intruder away. The confrontation
between the father of the young boy, who had been shot with a BB,
and the old man, was one of the highlights of this story titled
"Old Spike." A pulsating, heart wrenching, drama is offered in the
suspenseful story of a young twelve year old who is heir to a
sizable fortune. He has been kidnapped by a pair of clever and
diabolical characters who are intent on executing the boy after the
ransom has been paid. A shocking and unexpected ending to this
story called, "Kidnapped." In my opinion, each of these stories
could be and should be made into a feature length film, they are
that riveting and entertaining. Now sit back, relax and enjoy, "The
Pickthorn Chronicles."
