In the future, the love of a young man's life is dying. He would do
almost anything to keep her alive...except that In Dog Man, it
turns out that Oscar the tomcat was just misunderstood - with
deadly consequences... A love sick young man attempts to tap the
power of an ancient religion to secure the affections of a girl on
their class trip to Christland... The dead come briefly back to
life every year when the astral dimensions align in Day, or Two, of
The Dead. A cynical young 'player', adrift in the modern, amoral
age meets God on a mountain top and his life is changed forever -
but not in the way he'd ever imagined.

WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
"Thank you for writing this. This is the sort of book I was
hoping would begin to spring from the Indie world. No way would NYC
Corporate Publishing ever allow something with this world view
through."
"What the... Somebody get a rope "
..". I expected Strange Worlds to be about dystopias,
supernatural monsters, zombies, and futuristic technologies, but
now after reading this collection, I realize that the stories are
about us."
"This is a #% @# outrage I can't believe that in this
enlightened day and age a writer could actually get offensive
garbage like this published in a book and sell it "
"Clayton leads the modern reader through dark and dangerous
territory, but the gems they will find there are worth the risk.
Very few Indies would have had the courage to put their names to
something like this."
"This is blasphemous... taking these kind of liberties with the
word of God. He'll burn in hell for this "
..". while you are being taken away to a place and time which
is... strange and... disturbing... the humanity of (most of) his
characters will make you feel right at home; of course, you'll want
to leave a light on."
"This has got to be some kind of hate crime. And if it ain't, we
need to get some more damn laws passed. Call your Congressman or
woman and demand they do something. Now ."
