Fiction. Novella by Keith Gouveia with stories by C.A. Burns, Kevin Cockle, Lorne Dixon, Giovanna Lagana, Mark Onspaugh, Gerald S. Parker, Marsheila Rockwell, and J. T. Seate. In a world where serial killers are usually isolated and disconnected, THE SNUFF SYNDICATE provides an online forum made for them, by them. For members, social media is a tool to share pure, murder- filled ecstasy. Killing is a business of painstaking details, and every killer, from novice to expert needs a place to go to see what others are doing, from the ways they select victims to the methods they use to bloody their hands. The Snuff Syndicate is where they can brag, ask for advice and revel in their most gratifying hobby. THE SNUFF SYNDICATE offers readers a unique look into the gritty world of bloodletting. Keith Gouveia's novella strings together eight disparate stories of serial killers. This unique collaborative-anthology reads more like a multi-point- of-view novel rather than an anthology.

Deep in the dark and cryptic catacombs of the Capuchin monastery in Palermo, Sicily evil stirs. Among the over two thousand mummified remains lies a buried secret. One about to be uncovered by a naive and stray ex monk. After channelling spirits via a Ouija Board, Gontier Tremblay is guided to the catacombs to stop this evil from rising. Insatiable thirst for blood is a curse Father Abramo wishes on no living soul. After killing the four priests that took his true love, Ersilia, away from him, he was damned and has been roaming the world with this thirst for over two centuries. He's been killing and feasting on blood off of the scum of the earth and ridding the world of their vileness and evil. But when the apparition of one of the priests he killed begins to haunt him, he soon uncovers the secret to resurrection. Armed with this revelation, he heads back to the catacombs to resurrect and be united with his true love and make her a powerful immortal as he. Within the macabre crypts of the Capuchin monastery, good, evil, and the summoned undead will rise and fight, and the fate of mankind will be determined by the final outcome when the Dead Speak in Riddles.
