The Plot Sickens


What fertile fields of imagination are 

flawlessly ploughed with the skill and 

inspiration of a writing muse who directs 

a novelist to plumb the virtual depths 

of subconscious terror in the reader

leading those in search of fear in the pages 

of newly-published tomes exploiting 

the craze for horror and mad excesses of 

humanity and nature in a combination of 

the occult and unknown threats lurking 

unseen by the unaware until such time 

as they strike. Faithful to their elixir of  

fright distanced little do they care that 

across a continent there are others caught 

in the maelstrom of pitiless war where 

threats and fear go far in consuming the 

minds and spirits of those targeted for 

annihilation by an enemy whose relentless

pursuit of power and ambitious territorial 

advantage incited him to launch the 

horrors of destruction, rape, pillage, torture 

and mass slaughter in living colour.
