John W Smith

Nightmares of a Madman John W Smith First edition

A collection of short stories both macabre and entertaining that are certain to keep you reading. This collection, inspired by Hitchcock and King, explores the narrative of our nightmares. Experience these stories from the dark side of the mind -- that only surfaces in our dreams or imagination. Will you sleep with the light burning in your room? Can you lay down to rest without looking under your bed or in the closet for those shadows that slither while you sleep? In the Evil World ... In a future world powered by trans-humans there are compromises that we may not be able to live with. Little Miss Moffett ... The insects around us everyday have thoughts and feelings. What could possibly go wrong? The Gift ... The perfect gift from a loving husband--or is it? The Caress ... A young artist falls in love with an art collector. Will she be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice for her art? Autumn Leaves ... Our obsessions can get the best of us. How one man's obsession becomes his undoing. John Smith takes you on a twisted ride through the macabre. Each tale is a glimpse into the dark corners of a madman's mind. --- Kat Perry, author of The Calm
