Psy Touch
After the Psy Storm, the world changed. Humans gained the ability to physically influence other people with thought. When the psy-sex industry exploded, society began to break apart into a debauchery-filled experience of exploration and no rules.
Lexy avoids the psy dens and band free zones. She's much happier wearing her inhibitor headband, which blocks all psy ability.
Jared is the opposite; he believes in a life free of the bands, and exploring their natural gifts to their fullest.
When the two cross paths, they have to rethink their way of life. But in a world where thinking is a crime, will their love become just a distant memory?
Seven for the Slab
It's nearly midnight when a curious snoop finds his neighbors dead.
He gathers his wits and calls emergency services. Despite a thunderstorm, Sheriff's deputies, the Fire Department and an ambulance all respond quickly.
But there's little they can do; the victims are long dead. The snoop invites the emergency workers inside, out of the rain, to await the arrival of the coroner and the funeral home staff.
The lightning flashes... The thunder rolls... And the setting inspires the police, firefighters, and paramedics to pass the time by telling stories, both thrilling and chilling. And you are invited to join them.
In Seven For The Slab, Rondo award nominee Doug Lamoreux spins seven eerie tales of terror and mystery into one bewitching brew.
