SECOND AVENUE SECOND HAND Anthology_ Read It If You Dare

 

In Bottle Bay, I am called Mr. Blank.  Sometimes Adam risks more than he knows by calling me Oddman.

 

I have been called so many names ... most of them earned in horror and madness.

 

Come.  Sit down in my quaint, dark curio shop:

 

 

We shall talk of Horror and Humor, Wonder and Awe:

 

The knowledge of hidden things ...

 

Spellbinding tales, experiences which scour the soul, and unforgettable journeys into madness and the unknown.

 

All these things come at a price you know.

 

Everything in this world, and in the next, has its price.

 

The price at first seems so small until you realize it is only the first down-payment.

 

Hit your cursor over the book above.  Buy it.  You know you want to.  After all, there is no such things as cursed objects ... or cursed eBooks.  Is there?
 

DEMON SHE CALLS ME

 

"Demon" she calls me.  Rose Red calls me names.  That is almost funny.  Almost.

Am I a demon you ask?  Don't look to me for straight answers.  The world doesn't give you straight answers.

At least not in Bottle Bay.



Bottle Bay is such a quaint little town.  Turn one street and you walk into rubble and death.  Turn onto the next street ...


and Death runs after you.

Bottle Bay deserves the Second Avenue Secondhand Shop.  It is said that its customers deserve the cursed objects they buy there.

Maybe.  Maybe not.  All I know is that my only friend in the world deserved better than he got. 

And he got two, not one, cursed objects with the damnedest price to both ...

Compassion.

How did compassion buy Adam death and damnation?  I'll let him tell you in ...

 

Sure, you'll never have a good night's sleep again. You don't believe me?  Who could blame you?

After all, I am called a demon.  As if you humans knew what that word meant.

Hit your cursor over the book's image, and you'll be taken to the stuff nightmares are made of.

I AM ROSE RED

{Rose Red courtesy of Leonora Roy}

 

"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting,

dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before."

- Edgar Allan Poe

OCTORBER 3RD

 

Some call me Rose Red.  It is not my name, of course.  Now, my true name is Death.

 

My beauty killed me in a fashion. 

 

Compassion brought me back to a semblance of life or more accurately, of life-in-death.

 

I am fit for no man. 

 

And yet ... one cursed man would be my friend ...

 

and perhaps more. 

 

His name is no more real than my own: Adam Black.  His best friend may very well be a demon.

 

Come to Bottle Bay this October 3rd and find out for yourself.

 

It will be a Halloween that you will never forget for the rest of your life ... however short it may turn out to be.
