Five Stories

The stories contained within will not end well.
There are no happy endings or hero vindications. No characters will save the day or make you feel good about anything. In fact, there’s a good chance you will dislike what you read, knowing that the path one takes leads them to certain doom, and yet there is nothing you can do about it. But you’ll read on, about a Mother’s demented idea of an apology or what a morsel of ancient flesh can do to one’s complexion. Yes, you’ll read on and on, about a twisted dystopian prison where you dream so others can live or why you shouldn’t stare into a stranger’s eyes. But the real reason you’ll continue to read on, is to guess which one of these stories is really your story.
THE MICTLAN MURDERS

When a journalist investigating ritualistic murders along the Mexican border uncovers an ancient Aztec mind control technique involving human sacrifice, they become entangled in a supernatural web of disappearances, possessions, and a mysterious death cult known as “La Mano de La Muerte,” forcing them to confront dark forces that blur the line between reality and ancient evil.
Presented as a collection of research and found documents intertwined within a first-person narrative, The Mictlan Murders explores a tale of supernatural possession through human sacrifice. The investigation into a series of ritualistic murders unfolds through witness interviews, police affidavits, journal entries, and email transcripts. Readers can attempt to piece together the evidence in this unique mystery that will leave them guessing until the end.Published by Bards and Sages Publishing.
