J R Rodriguez: 3 books

I've seen hellish things. I've had terrible acts committed within my walls by equally terrible people. I am in anguish. I am tormented. The ghosts of the long dead walk my floors. They fill me with dread and fear. I can't protest. If only I could be free. If only these walls could scream...I could let the world know of my never ending horror...

Two voices in the night; one whispers and one screams. Two eternities in struggle; one takes and one gives. Within dark confines, a duel ensues. The loser discovers mercy comes at horrifying price. Come tonight and listen to this couple sing their strange song in a piece called "Midnight Duet".

This short story is one of three that chronicles the early days Famine, the 250 year old dead teen ager, and his family of Death Omens. This tale introduces The (Grim) Reaper and his brother, The Ankou, as they bring Famine into The Deadlands, the realm of Death. The full length novel "Keeping Up With the Deadlanders" is coming soon from The Twisted Library Press.
