Den of Dark Angels
Demons roar from the mouths of lions and the devil lives on an alien planet in this collection of three adult fantasy/paranormal novellas set on Earth, Hell, and Heaven, and in the nether somewhere in between.
Passion for Poe spins from Calgary to Denmark in a crescendo of dysfunction. Demons slop from the trunk of a car bought by Astria Brin, and lions gaze from a bridge in the center of Calgary and follow them home, as mysterious dreams, murder and horror intertwine.
Dark Angel introduces Drake Bent, a half-demon man who roars about the universe on a chromed Harley-Davidson motorcycle with his terrier dog Killer in the sidecar. Drake's girlfriend connects to him in life and death, with the Devil's curse on them both.
Doughboy
What really lurks under your bed?
Would you like to know about the madness of clowns - or the helpless cries of the Doughboy as he’s stuffed into the oven?
Perhaps you fear being trapped in an elevator…for a rather long period of time. Or going on vacation... to a land where screams are eternal, and the tears are rivers of red.
But be careful when crossing the Cith Bridge, for the creatures there feast on things that are not quite… wholesome.
If this sounds like your kind of journey, let Don Broyles be your guide in Doughboy And Other Strange Tales.
