Horror
Chapter One
The Red Tide The earthquake lasted seven heartbeats. That was all. Seven slow pulses beneath the bones of the world, each one a shudder of something ancient stirring in its sleep. In the fishing village of Dread's Hollow, cups rattled from shelves and crashed to splinter on stone floors. Church bells swayed without wind, their clappers striking out a frantic rhythm that spoke of things unseen. Dogs began baying all at once and would not stop, their voices weaving together into a chorus of dread that rose above the rooftops like smoke.

Abaddon Chapter 1
Abaddon, known as the great prince of the bottomless pit, was the demon of pure destruction. He had a large army that had the appearance of locusts that would torment human souls that were thrown into hell. His throne was seated at the gateway to hell, and he made sure no one left after they came in. His wife, or consort, was Lilith and they had many children. Lilith was Adam's first wife before she became Abaddon's wife, or consort. They were very much in love and their relationship resulted in large demonic lineage. Their children were Asmodeous, Verrine, Amdecious, Beliel, Baal, Belphegore, and many others. They ruled the earth and hell as prince and princess of darkness, which means death and destruction. Death was the destruction of life.

Then came a quilt stitched from faded feed sacks, a cracked blue Mason jar rescued from a smokehouse that was about to be torn down, and enough family photographs of complete strangers to fill three albums in my spare bedroom. My friends always teased me that one day I was going to end up on one of those hoarding television shows, but I never saw those things as junk. Every one of them had belonged to somebody. They had been held, loved, repaired, packed away, and eventually forgotten. Somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn't collecting antiques at all. I was collecting pieces of people's lives.
