We might look human,
but we’re not.
We might act human,
but we love to kill.
Our fearless leader
shows no mercy.
Who is he?
Will he show his face?
Only The Dead know.

Follow me to the clearing,
where the trees part in fear.
The Dead come to play,
and the La Santa Muerte rule.
Bring your sacrifices.
Your wishes will come true.
The female Grim Reaper is all-powerful.
The taste of blood can be sweet.
She will grant wishes of revenge
to your bitter heart’s content.

A casualty of war.
A casualty of nature.
Sad.
Alone.
Drifting.
Broken.
Silenced forever.
Say a prayer for me.
The house explodes.
It shatters from within
and topples to the sea.
No trace left behind
of its evil existence
or The Dead.

THE DARKNESS INSIDE
Teeth glisten in the dark as I walk through the park. I stop in my tracks in fear, not knowing what can be near.
I stand quietly and listen, but I only see the glisten. Soft footsteps ring out behind me. I’m not waiting around to see.
Then I happen to glance down, and my face droops in a frown. The fanged smile floats on the lily pond. Of my reflection, I’m not so fond.
It reveals the darkness inside that I’ve always failed to hide. |

WASH AWAY MY SORROW
Please wash away my sorrow and pain. The ocean may take it far away, Let the rain grow harder with its might, My body grows cold from the rain. |

DARK AS THE NIGHT
I walk with the living at day, They do not hear a word I say. They believe I’m alive like them, But I’m stronger than any men. I run like the wind past the trees, Fly through the sky faster than bees. My true self is hidden away, I might be a little fey. At night I walk with others, They’re close to me like brothers. “Who am I?” you might ask. I might take you to task. Take care not to open that door, You’ll be in hell forevermore.

💘PREY FOR THE DEAD 💘

The setting is a strong part of this book for me and I loved the location of Oasis as a bohemian beachside resort. On the surface, it is bright and colourful, but underneath it has its ancient secrets – one of which is the existence of vampires.
The author has a new take on this folklore. Vampires have splintered off into different factions, each with their own unique role in the human world. Naturally, this creates tension and provides a backdrop to the action.
Linda and Shana are human and the main protagonists. They have a strong, but an impish relationship which is tested as they investigate the disappearances of tourists and residents alike. They are aided by their friends and by a handful of others whose changing allegiances sow seeds of doubt everywhere.
Added to this is a rich palette of gods and demons and spellcasters, lending the book a strong fantasy element. However, there are also strands of horror, suspense, and romance as Linda falls for the enigmatic Todd, who is not who he seems.
With its florid imagery, The Dead Game has a cinematic quality, reminding me of the film The Lost Boys. They both have playful savagery, placing them apart (and for me personally, above) the Twilight series.
For fans of the supernatural, The Dead Game is available worldwide and on Amazon UK here, and on Amazon US here.

A THANKSGIVING SPIN
Sweet and tasty it may be.
It does not come for free.
Life was given up
For this group to sup.
What are your holiday wishes?
And what could be the side dishes?
Some sliced fingers on a crystal plate
May satisfy your cravings of late.
Enjoy!
