    About this ebook

    Peripheral Vision - have you ever noticed a movement, just there, from the corner of your eye; but, when you turned to see it more clearly, it was gone? Most people have, and everyone shrugs it off as their mind playing tricks on them. There's nothing to worry about, nothing at all; or is there?

    Doctor Gavin's Patient - among horror story characters and villains there are creatures that excite the sensual senses. These evil beings are sexier than vampires, cleaner and smarter than zombies and more human than werewolves, for one thing. Aside from that, I don't think horror writers have given them the respect they deserve.

    Reapers - one of my favorite, best remembered axioms states, "I don't know what I don't know." It kind of sums up the inexplicable; things that go bump in the night without apparent cause. People die and the examining doctors don't always know why; they won't admit it, but they really don't know. What happens to a dead person's soul? Is there really such a thing as a soul? Can it be bartered for, sold or stolen? Well, I don't know what I don't know, which makes this a possibility.

    Black Converse - won inclusion into a horror anthology that was never published a couple years ago, so I could hardly exclude the story here. I can't recall the name of the story that triggered me to write this one, but it was long ago and far away; and, really, only one similar detail of that story comes through in this one. If you are a long time reader of horror stories, you might notice that one instance of similarity (at the very end).

    The Solution - I know exactly where the idea for this story came from...Stephen King's, "The Long Walk"; 'nough said.

    Lovably Dead - a writer friend made mention, a few months ago, of a publisher that was looking for unique zombie stories. She never got around to mentioning the publisher's name and address, though. No harm done - I didn't ask. I think you'll find this one to be refreshingly unique. It's a bit long in comparison to the others in this collection, but - it's the title story!

    Lex Allen

    Lex was born in San Marcos, Texas and raised in the cities of Corpus Christi and Austin. At 17, he began an extensive military career with the U.S. Army that took him to Germany. There, he met his wife, raised a family, and remained after redirecting his career into a civil service position with the U.S Department of Defense.During these same years, he performed as a semi-professional musician across much of Europe. In 1996, he wrote and recorded fourteen songs with MCP Records in Austria that led to accolades from the European Country Music Association as "Best Band and Best Album.". He still performs classic rock, oldies, country and pop cover tunes with an acoustic trio in small clubs and at private parties.In 2012, Lex took an early retirement from his civil service career to pursue his life-long passion for writing fiction. He writes novels and short stories that are pseudo-metaphysical, science fiction, and fantasy, horror and/or paranormal (non-romance) thrillers. Publication of the three books that comprise the Eloah Trilogy culminated a five-year long labor of love, frustration, and success that are really only the beginning of what he hopes will be a long writing career. In days gone by, when Dan Brown was king, these types of novels were labeled "religious conspiracy." The term is 'out' as they say, but the books are still 'in' and as popular as ever.Lex's life motto is Carpe Diem (Seize the Day), as well as Carpe Somnium (Catch Your Dream).

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
