“I HAVE A FEELING THAT NIGHTMARES ARE IN STORE FOR ME LATER TONIGHT.” ~ Erin Nicole Cochran for Readers’ Favorite
Meet the freckle-faced boy who grew up to be the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock’s PSYCHO and Jonathan Demme’s THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Sometimes the relationship between mother and child reaches beyond the realm of natural. Burning the Scarecrow seems like a reasonably harmless offense or practical joke, but for Eddie and Jack, it set unforeseen horrors into motion that both boys would regret for the rest of their lives. Includes Inception by Meredith Carson and Afterword by John Rollins.
In an archived article, Jack T. Mann penned a rare, brief account of his experience with Ed Gein, entitled Burning the Scarecrow. Only a foreword and afterword were added to augment the piece in TWC’s attempt to stay true to his original work.

Some fruitcake is running around pouring molten gold down the throats of barristers, I’m certain that friendless young women are being trapped in modern day slavery and my PhD student is being ditsy. To cap it all, my wings are dirty. If you thought the life of a succubus in Twenty-First Century London was just one continuous orgy, you’d be wrong

A SINGLE ROUND, is a collection of short stories from a HARD PLACE. Stories of moonshine and shotguns, obsession and transcendence, love and darkness, and the blindness of human desire. Each tale follows a painful path to one ultimate realization: the devil’s deal always ends badly, often with a single round.
The head that was found on the blacktop tells a tale in Johnny Fucking Carson. Tommy watches his dream love become a nightmare in Together Forever. Fame has a dark side, Becoming Famous echoes the age old warning, ‘Be Careful what you wish for’. A story of realization, loss, and transformation takes flight in Redwing. Never judge a book by its cover, even one with fangs, as a surprise awaits in Doc’s Choice. The Grounded, sometimes the dream of escape should remain a dream. A tale of a man who fell in love with a woman who forgot him in The Dog Walker. The Ride will make you second guess what you thought you were sure of.
