The Vagrant: A Short Story - Psychological Suspense Horror & Dark Paranormal Romance (The Slayer Anthology)

by Ed Diamante

Overview

Welcome to the groundbreaking reinvention of WITCH mythology...

...including a dramatized Writer's Method within the story:

A broken author tries to get back on his feet by staying at the super-cheap Fairfax Gardens. But the menacing Vagrant outside warns him repeatedly that the place is DAMNED.

It all swings from bliss to horror and back, daily and inexplicably, due to the sweet and bubbly Sistine and her marauding demon of a mother. All, as the diabolical Vagrant outside seemingly grows more and more bent on killing them all.

Amid the chaos, the broken author wrestles his own demons while struggling to overcome the worst writer's block of his life-his life increasingly dependent on it. And as writing breakthroughs manifest like conjurings, can it be that Sistine is more enchantress than muse? It all seemingly pushes the Vagrant over the edge somehow, and he moves in for the kill. But nothing is as it seems in this groundbreaking reinvention of WITCH mythology...except the fact that the Fairfax Gardens may indeed be damned.

About the Author

Reach out to Ed Diamante at: [e-mail] or @SlayerAnthology on Twitter and Youtube. Ed Diamante delves deep into the disconnect between what characters say and do, especially as it relates to the subconscious, self-sabotaging contradictions that fuel dysfunction, extremism, and dystopia. As an environmental biologist by education at a Jesuit University and by trade, Diamante's works often include themes of human vs. nature and faith vs. reason/science. Michael Crichton's scientific mind, Cormac McCarthy's writing style, and most everything Hemingway are Diamante's inspirations.
