Produktbeschreibung

Submitted for your approval, a collection of 21 short, speculative fictions by William Mangieri in preparation for the upcoming Halloween holiday. Or just because...
Within these pages you will find ghosts, undead, demons, assassins, villains, aliens, and the mostly normal (by comparison) people who have to deal with them.
Included in this collection:
The Body
A sociopath deals with more than the usual embarrassment from misbehaving parents. Sometimes, the dead don't cooperate.
Stalking Rebecca
Abduction and vampires.
Inheritance
Does Amun really want the inheritance that's coming for him?
You Can't Question the Dead
More vampires. Blood is thicker than water, but whose blood will it be?

Unaware
Is it better not to see the alien horrors around you?

Mating Rituals

Reflections
What are we, really - the sum of our parts? Or are they separate like Jekyl and Hyde?
Through Her Eyes
A misunderstanding and a vengeful ghost.
Schizo the Magnificent
How many of the demons in your head are your own?

Okay, some ghosts are friendly...

Autorenporträt

William Mangieri is a karaoke junkie, former theater student, and recovered wargamer who spends as much time wondering "what if?" as "why not?". He writes from Texas, where he and his family live at the mercy of the ghost of a nine-pound westie.
William writes mostly speculative fiction (that's science fiction, fantasy and horror), although he also has a detective series with a soft sci-fi element (Detective Jimmy Delaney.) He completed writing his first novel (Swordsmaster) in 2019; prior to this, he has honed his skills on short fiction. He has been published in Daily Science Fiction and The Anarchist, and six of his stories have earned Honorable Mentions in the Writers of the Future contest.
