Text of the page (random words):
n they absolutely love three or four rather fun and the remaining stories worth their hard earned money a jumble of older and newer stories some ludicrous some frightening and some frighteningly ludicrous this is a novel length collection at almost 90k words give it a look see and i hope you enjoy it sincerely thomas s gunther terror tract september 21 2019 thomasguntherblog leave a comment it s the big news pre orders available first issue coming october 2019 the cursed interviews april 21 2019 thomasguntherblog leave a comment like most zak bagans fans i watched the highly anticipated demon house glued to the set unmoved by any distractions i don t think i even went outside for a smoke during the documentary s two hour premiere on the travel channel nor did i budge when i realized there was a follow up feature called the lost footage it was that good but was it all real i m a huge ghost adventures fan i ve been following the show since it s first episode aired around thirteen years ago when zak aaron goodwin and nick groff produced film footage now infamous they claim was poltergeist activity https youtu be v6b057b0erw if you re familiar with the episode then you know it was filmed at the long abandoned goldfield hotel in nevada which is rumored to be extremely haunted i believe it is and i also still believe the film footage including the audio track of zak bagans screaming bloody murder is all real nothing staged no scripts acted out no con game going on to get famous and garner a television series i believed it then and i still believe it now continue reading an interview with albert oon march 13 2019 thomasguntherblog leave a comment every once in a while something or in this case someone gives me pause to genuinely smile the other day it was albert oon i was wandering through the smashwords horror listings perusing titles and artwork when i came across a cover illustration similar to these above it was albert oon s latest release desecrating infestation just published on march 6th of this year 2019 i was immediately reminded of myself the artwork the stories all took me right back to my early days back when i would spend far more time writing in my head while i worked scenes out with colored pencils so wanting to know more i reached out to albert and asked if he would agree to an interview albert consented to let me pick his brain a little bit and answered a few questions for me i was thinking my efforts might garner this highly creative young person some exposure but more importantly i wanted to share as i feel most writers particularly my age and older might smile as i did i think a majority of writers can relate to those days when we first started writing with a good deal of nostalgia we furiously scribbled down words in our notebooks instead of paying attention to our history lectures continuously breaking pencil lead and making repeated trips to the pencil sharpener on the wall many of us i m sure worked out scenes drawing sketches on any scrap of paper we could find and so many of us secretly thanked our typing teachers when we tried banging out those horrid mistake ridden white out blotched first drafts which for me were typically the only drafts on our mom s ancient uniroyal typewriter but we were doing it we were writing we didn t have the resources kids have today computers the internet indie publishing etc albert oon has it and it s inspiring to know he s taking advantage of it and by that i mean this young author has been busy an incredibly prolific writer he has already published almost sixty stories on smashwords with word counts averaging between 4k and 9k try doing the math on that he has several web sites and he even makes videos where does he find the time the energy the drive you ve got to respect that he certainly has my admiration anyway please let me introduce albert oon interview tell me a little bit about yourself how old are you where do you live do you own a cat i am twenty two years old but i turn twenty three this march march 25 th is my birthday i live in philadelphia pennsylvania most of the time but i m with my parents in pennsauken new jersey if i need to go to work no i do not own a cat so how old were you when you first started writing i was seventeen and in high school when i first started writing stories and drawing for them what inspired you to take up the pen my inspiration for writing first came from a dream i had that is part of a series of dreams check out my society s monsters stories to read more about them anyways my girlfriend alicia from my dreams told me i should become a writer since i knew so much about stories particularly video game movie and tv show stories this was to get me in college and to do something besides being a car mechanic in the dream series my second inspiration came from the previous idea where i know a lot about stories and what makes them entertaining and informative to read my parents wanted me to go to college and i eventually found an interest in writing stories your stories seem to be a blend of several genres including science fiction fantasy and horror do you know where your story is headed when you begin to write or does the story itself lead the way before i start to write a story i have a general idea of the major events and point of the story i use this general format to begin writing and then everything else falls into place most writers tend to be voracious readers do you read a lot do you have a favorite genre do you have a favorite author i do read a lot of manga comics and christian catholic theology books my shelves are filled with dozens of them horror is probably my favorite genre and i don t have a favorite author but i do like a lot of authors i just can t pick one that s my favorite you mentioned college in your smashwords interview are you still in school what is your major have you taken or will you take any english writing or literature classes yes i m still in school i m in my 5 th year as a senior my major is adult and organizational development i have taken a creative writing script writing and fiction writing class in college i really enjoy your artwork what comes first the story in pictures or the story in words the stories and the pictures come together when i imagine a story i also imagine what it s going to look like you re a christian particularly a catholic do you ever feel conflict between what you want to write and your christian values that is are there any subjects you consider to be taboo on the other paw do you ever try to infuse your beliefs into your work i never feel a conflict between my writing and christian catholic values what i ve found is that no subject is too taboo to talk about as long as you handle it with care and respect my beliefs are infused with my stories to the soul they might not always show themselves in every story they re either in between the lines or front in center depending on the story if you could ask questions of a favorite writer artist or illustrator what would those be who would you ask i d probably ask them what their inspirations writing process goals and motives were for writing i would probably ask g k chesterton because he is one of my favorite catholic writers finally what would you like your readers to know about you about your work i would like my readers to know that i m a devout catholic but also a sinner who makes mistakes i would also like to tell them that i don t write stories for myself even though i like the stories i write i never write stories for me only if i wanted the stories for myself i would just keep them in my head so i wouldn t have to go through the trouble of writing and drawing for them every story i write and publish is for everyone to read they are my gifts from me to you because i want to share the gift i have i don t want to keep it to myself that s why i write and publish so much what s the use of a story if it s just kept to one person my readers should know that my work is out there for their enjoyment and to possibly interest them in learning more about what they believe the obviously more catholic stories are there to interest them in looking into the catholic church what kind of catholic would i be if i didn t share with them the good news of christ oh yeah cats or dogs if i want elegance i d pick cats if i want a guard i d pick a dog i don t have a preference for me it s like asking me if i want tea or coffee i like albert he s straight forward honest and determined but most of all he s imaginative he s having fun and isn t that what writing s all about isn t that what we were doing when we started out albert oon https www smashwords com profile view gimjuie https albertoonbts blogspot com me and tom an odyssey december 24 2018 december 25 2018 thomasguntherblog leave a comment by thomas s gunther a crisp autumn breeze whipped through the old man s thinning hair as a middle aged mom and her brood breached the quiet of the otherwise empty laundromat on the corner of a sleepy forgotten town he eyed the woman and her daughters with disfavor as though they were harbingers of some malady the older of the two a package the old man found delightfully trampish wore ripped jeans and black lipstick but he jumped involuntarily when she slammed a basket of clothes on the dirty tile floor the girl crossed her arms and bit her lip as if to keep from trembling with anger the old man grumbled something to himself crossing his own arms in the folds of a ragged long coat and turned away as a daughter mother battle ensued oh fine the obviously frazzled mother almost shouted go ahead fine just be a little bitch in front of god and everybody we ll just see about you going with your friends to the lake this weekend the raven haired girl rolled her eyes and exhaled angrily all i did was blow them a kiss mother i would hardly call what you did in front of those punks blowing a kiss you better get your mind off boys and take a good long look at yourself or you re gonna wind up in the gutter somewhere oh jezuscrist don t just stand there blubbering go find out where the hell your sister s run off too for all i know you re letting her play in the traffic jezus get out of my sight you re embarrassing me the girl mumbled who do you think you are her mother snatched her up by her hair listen missy i am your mother and if you don t shut your snotty little mouth i m gonna shut it for you now go find your sister she gave the teen a shove then spun on her heel looking for the other child a large woman who had slipped in unnoticed stared blatantly while she loaded towels and tent sized underwear into a washer a dirty look from the exasperated teenager made her blush and avert her eyes she crossed herself and mumbled something in spanish as the girl brushed between her and the folding table to slip outside meanwhile the distraught mother located her younger daughter who was begging change off the old man his position had softened somewhat in the child s ambient innocence unmoved was the mother she grabbed the angel by her goldy locks with one hand while snatching the nickel away with the other the five year old began to cry academy award style as she watched her mother give the coin back to the old man who accepted it grudgingly how many times have i told you not to talk to strangers the flabbergasted mother demanded an answer hmm and i already told you you re not getting any candy with a jerk she spun her child around and began to drag her away when she suddenly stopped whipping back around to face the old man and inadvertently yanked out a handful of her child s blonde hair distressed by the whelp s painful whining the old man felt rather than heard the vile woman s words he met her icy glare without flinching and was about to unleash his own words welling up inside him when the woman reached out and slapped him over the head flinging up his arms defensively the old man hurried out the door as he ran away a tattered leather bound book fell off his lap the little girl grabbed the book then stole away while her mother was not looking old pervert her angry mother hissed watching through the large plate glass window as the raggedy bum made his escape she could see him whisking by her daughter when he slowed turned and placed a dirty gnarled hand on the girl s slight shoulder the mother could not hear what the creep said to her daughter but she didn t like it whatever it was she threw open the heavy glass door and ordered her daughter back inside the girl didn t seem to hear her she just stared down the road where the old man had vanished a strange expression too mature for her years pulled at her face as the wind pulled at her long black hair lashing it about her eyes what are you doing out there what did that freak say to you get your ass in here the young girl s response was quick and high pitched keeping tempo with her mother s verbose inquisition nothing nothing he just said he was sorry i m coming shoulders square against the door jamb she crept past her mother instinctively flinching once out of her mother s reach she admitted he called me lass she shrugged what go sit down with your sister shaking her head the mother busied herself with her laundry and for a time forgot about her thankless children hey runt offered the teenager sitting down beside the sprite in one of the seats in front of the big window mom pull your hair out again yes drawled the child absently she was preoccupied with the book hey what s that i don t know let me see it she flipped through the worn stained and battered pages curiously drawn to the enigma of scrawled faded ink looks like some kind of diary she said half to herself boys have diaries the sibling wanted to know you re right it s a journal of some kind it says me and tom hmm let s read it okay scanning the yellowed pages she came to the beginning of an entry then checking to see if her mother the old bitch was spying she began reading in a half whispered voice the gold bomb would barely run coughing and sputtering while we waited for the light to change tom was sulking he was mad because we d commandeered his mom s his cruel evil impostor mom s 70 plymouth war wagon and i wouldn t let him drive neither of us had a driver s license anyways we were only fifteen well i was sixteen tom started drooling foaming at the mouth i could see why two foxy hos in a corvette had pulled up alongside us the chick driving was a hot looking redhead i love redheads the narrator s proud preference for redheads drew an unconscious scowl from the teenager but despite its plain language and rough descriptions the story was intriguing she read on i called out a greeting in my best mexican hey pretty mamma tijuana i could tell by her sneer of repulsion that i was really turning her on chicks dig me her friend giggled then whispered something in her ear
