Mankind is on the brink of extinction and altogether unaware. Evil comes in many forms – sometimes from above, sometimes from below and more often than not—from within. This chronicle of unfolding events sees evil in all its many forms, as it lashes out at the strongest (and, on occasion, the weakest) of men and women. These twelve tales of the truly terrible are sure to keep you up at night, contemplating the darkest things that dwell in the shadows of the very room you now occupy. Things that dwell also in the very darkest corners of your mind perhaps? Hard to say. Only one way to know for sure. Take the journey laid out before you and find out for yourself. Individually Wrapped Horrors: Now in Bite-Sized Pieces takes the reader to the very edge of the evil as it prepares to strike, but where so many story slingers pull back at the crucial moment, leaving a great deal of the journey to the reader's imagination, this chronicle never pulls back. You feel everything, you experience everything that the sainted and saintless feel. Truly a terrifying collection that is sure to stay with you for years to come.
Eric Kleinschmidt, Sr. is a long-time author of dark, death-metal themed poetry and has published two books under the moniker Twisted Spike Poetry Presents… and has a third large volume of same, waiting to be published. This is his first venture into the territory he loves so much – telling short horror stories. Much of his poetry consists of micro-stories that are usually horror-themed. He’s got a beautiful wife, four great kids, and five grandchildren who fill his life with great happiness. Some of the works he does are very dark and taboo in nature, but all to a greater purpose – that of telling a story that he feels will stick with the reader for a long time. From the dark winters of northern Wisconsin comes a writer who is not afraid to take you to the edge and over – and to make you feel every detail on the way down. He sincerely hopes you will enjoy this trip.
