This is a collection of previously published and previously unpublished stories. Most of them more often than not ignored, abandoned, and rejected. Just like you. Stories about life and death and love and hate and after all is said and done, none of it matters. These stories are for every time you thought this time would be different, but it turned out exactly the same. For those times when nothing was beautiful and everything hurt. These stories are for insomniacs, lunatics, and manic-depressives. The homicidal, the suicidal, and the just plain crazy. For every time you wanted to kill someone and that someone was usually yourself. Perfect reading to wash down a mouthfull of pills with a nice glass of wine or while taking a warm bath and shaving your wrists. You may be alone and lonely but at least we can be alone together.

THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH The End Of The World Is Nigh is an ongoing post-apocalyptic zombie epidemic project. The finished project will weigh in at around 400,000 words. Since releasing a book of that length in a single edition is cost-prohibitive, the chapters will be released as serialized editions, and then collated for integration into the final book. Each chapter in the first half of the book introduces a different character that will play a significant role in the second half of the book. Also included is Whimper, the shorty story that sets the rules for the world that will be explored in The End Of The World Is Nigh.

The Gate has served as a place to put the more inconvenient members of society. It was supposed to be a home away from home. The world moved on and The Gate was abandoned, taking on a second life as a home to derelicts and drug addicts. Twenty years later The Gate still stands, a monument to what was once an attractive destination for the kids of the county to throw rocks and bottles at partly inspired by youthful rebellion, and partly inspired by an intuitive dislike for the building, because it's hard to like something that doesn't like you. Jack, Jason, Nathan, and Dani are aspiring paranormal investigators with the best store bought equipment their part-time high school jobs could afford. Their intention tonight is to investigate The Gate and see if they can find any evidence of the afterlife. They are not alone.
