Useless Monster

by D.K. Ryan

Overview

He would stand in the shadows and watch me sleep and I have this aching feeling he knew I was awake, and he would whisper useless monster over and over until I dreamt it night after night.

Useless Monster is the story told through the eyes of a child who can do nothing to please his parents. His life is filled with ridicule and torment, and all he wants is to be loved. How much would you take?

About the Author

I didn't pick up my first book until I was nineteen years old, and having now reached the ripe old age of thirty eight, I think that I've made up for all those lost years by reading every single horror novel I could get my hands on. From Stephen King's IT to The Doll Who Ate His Mother, by Ramsey Campbell.I've devoured them all. I can't get enough. Names of those authors became part of my everyday conversation, Edward Lee, Jack Ketchum, Graham Masterton, Richard Laymon, Robert McCammon, Bentley Little and Lisa Tuttle. It got to a point where I thought that I knew these people personally, and they all left a horrific taste in my mouth.So a year ago I decided to try my hand at writing. What happened was that now I have a number of self published short stories and an 85,000 word manuscript which I'm currently editing along with a head full of many more stories screaming to get out.I've never been one to take things too seriously but I will defend horror to my dying breath. I love reading horror almost as much as writing and hope through constant learning and feedback I can make the genre proud.D.K. Ryan.
