Otto was partying when the zombies arrived. He was in the garden of his Hollywood Hills mansion surrounded by some of the biggest names in entertainment. The ones that mattered to him, anyway.

Immersion Therapy – Dead Oaks Podcast (audio)  17 September 2017

Liz’s hands started to sweat as soon as she crested the hill and saw the town nestled in its bowl of fog. Homichlophobia her doctor had called it – abnormal fear of fog.

Even photographs of foggy landscapes made her uncomfortable.

Sitala – UnCommon Minds 21 January 2017

The Navigator lay among the stars, the blackness of space wrapped around it like a shroud. It could feel the old man surrounded by his family. He was unconscious— unresponsive but aware.

But the old man knew the end was near, and his thoughts turned to the Navigator, the being he called Sitala.

Piece Number 7 – Garbled Transmissions
My name is Max Gambino and I know the real story behind Gustav Lang. Not the sensationalist crap that gets printed in the rags but the actual, honest to goodness, sweat, blood and tears story of Gustav Lang and the music he created; the story that’s been buried under the controversy and the arrests and the trial and the Lang Act. Most of what people know about him is a lie, created by publicists trying to bolster sales and lawyers trying to protect their clients. Lang deserves better than that. Music can be wondrous. Lang is proof of that.
