What is The Bleed Country? The space between words in a prayer and the last number in Pi. It is where faith & dreams are held safe, where unborn terrors lurk and all the answers are painted in colors that don't exist. There have always been Agents who protect Bleed Country, individuals granted powers who walk the under-roads known as The Scar and seek to keep the balance. But now cards have been thrown, and while the only true constant in this reality is change, it is coming faster and more surely than anyone could have predicted. Sides will be drawn for the battle of Bleed Country, and not everyone will survive. . .

John Aurelius is the planet’s latest Chaos Emissary, the first ever to join The Department of Diversified Securities run by the mysterious Quantum Courts. However, there were many events that occurred before he joined Earth’s secret metaphysical police and some demand repeated whispers. More than just the haunted memories from associates and adversaries, these are the rumored incidents that led Aurelius to today. These are the stories of trickster gods and murderous ghosts, of Dimensionauts and S’allow Men. Stories of a mental asylum come alive, an occult shop best avoided, and a blacker house never seen. These are the Prologues to The Chaos Narratives. (an e-novella of 12 tales)
EDITOR
Halloween – a holiday that evokes so much. Some say it’s a time when the space between worlds is too thin to bear the weight, and outer things spill over for a bit of Trick Or Treating. The stories found inside this e-anthology echo that idea, reporting back from a corner where the mirror has reflected a distorted image of this season.
Inside we’ll find a young man’s madness has driven him down a bloody path and the brutal folklore of the early 19th century clawed to life. We’ll see domestic bliss marred only by suburban lycanthropy and retail employees devoured by cosmic malevolence. Witches, monsters, and maniacs as written by authors of fantasy, adventure, mystery, poetry, romance and horror. We’ll dig deeper into a celebration now known for masks, candy and pumpkins while immersing ourselves in this anthology. Here, we’ll go past the patch and discover what tales lurk on the other side.
