PATRICK DOUGLAS -- Right now, my new novella, THE DARK MAN,
just came out! But before we get into that, I want to thank Iain Rob Wright for
being so awesome as to let me commandeer his blog for a day. Thanks dude, you
are freaking awesome.
In case you haven’t actually heard of
the book, the following is the books short synopsis:
The human mind holds within its infinite
reaches many of the greatest mysteries in the universe. Some are vast and
wondrous, while others are chilling and nightmarish. Some mysteries are better
left hidden in the dark corners of our minds, never breaking free of our
subconscious.
Six high school students set out to explore these depths
by sharing a mind altering substance on a night meant to be filled with both
wild hallucinations and crazy antics. But the fun and games come to a
shuddering halt when a strange man appears. This isn’t just any stranger. He is
the Dark Man. Haunter of dreams and purveyor of nightmares. Dressed in a black
suit and top hat, his pale skin and twisted grin promise a very deranged night
of entertainment.

I originally
came up with the Dark Man when I was a stupid little teenager. Bet you couldn’t
ever guys how. Either way, I know of a lot of people who have actually come
into contact with this person while on such substances. Needless to say it had
to be written about. The fact that more than a handful of people have seen the
Dark Man in real life is creepy enough for me. Whether or not the content of
the Dark Man stands true in this book is another thing entirely. So, to answer
that age old question: what inspired the book; well there it is. I’ve been
there and done that and don’t recommend ever going back.
If splatterpunk,
grindhouse action is what you crave in a good horror read, then I would
definitely recommend picking this one up. It’s a fast paced death to the
finish. And with that, I think that covers it for me.
Thanks again to Iain
for letting me hop in and say hello.
