    About this ebook

    A collection of short stories for the ghost crowd. It doesn't matter how old you are, who you are, whether you're ready or not. Life, death, regret, love - they all hurt and they just come as fast and terrifying as a spider. These youngsters are finding ways to deal with their lots. Because there's no other option.

    Wendy Maddocks

    I'm Wenz - Wendy when I'm in trouble - and I've been writing since I could hold a pen. I like horror and fantasy and some sci fi. I try to write the stuff I like to read but if it feels right to write something a bit off-target then I do that. People seem to enjoy reading it and if you're one of them, please leave comments.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      When do you feel most powerful? I would say I feel most powerful when I’m running. I run most days. I did a half-marathon two days ago in an hour and 53 minutes. Eight minutes 58 seconds per mile, which is not my fastest. It’s OK, it was very hot in
