Rage Against the Dying

By Anthony J Fuchs

When Gabriel Hensley learns the horrible truth about his wife's traumatic past, he hurls himself into a deadly mission to find the man responsible and exact his own terrible revenge. But when he finds much more than that, he'll have to face a much deeper darkness in order to save not only his own life, but the life of a complete stranger.

Also includes the prize-winning short-story "Rhymes With Tape," which served as the inspiration for the novelette. The author describes the publication concept "as a sort of literary 'before-and-after.'"

I am a Philadelphian by birth, a North Carolinian by choice, and a writer by nature. And I have baseball in my blood, having come into this world right around the time that Manny Trillo hit that famous single to drive in Del Unser and give the Phillies a 4-3 lead in Game 5 of the World Series. I have been a teller of stories for as long as I have been able to brandish the force of language. One of my clearest, earliest memories is of watching Michael J. Fox on a 40-foot movie screen as he pushed that Delorean up to 88 miles-and-hour and barreled into the past on a pair of flaming tiretracks. A few years later, I went to a sleepover birthday party at a classmate's apartment, and as midnight gave way to the next day, those of us who dared to brave the darkness began telling horror stories, each determined to terrify everyone else. The next afternoon, my mother received a phone call from my friend's mother: whatever tale I had spun had given him nightmares. Since that day, I have never stopped chasing the intoxicating thrill that comes from the power of fiction. He is the author of "The Danger of Being Me," as well as a growing body of short fiction and poetry. You can contact me at [e-mail], or follow me at www.facebook.com/anthonyjfuchs
