Downed Town New Town

By D.K. Ryan

It started long before the modern world began, when the plains were vast and empty. Before urban noise filled the quiet wilderness. But to some, they could have been mistaken in thinking that Greg Jennings was the first to change the way things were, just before sunrise on Sunday June six.

Ghostly Indians were sighted ravaging towns and cities, the death toll rose to gigantic proportions sending America into a state of emergency.

I didn't pick up my first book until I was nineteen years old, and having now reached the ripe old age of thirty eight, I think that I've made up for all those lost years by reading every single horror novel I could get my hands on. From Stephen King's IT to The Doll Who Ate His Mother, by Ramsey Campbell. I've devoured them all. I can't get enough. Names of those authors became part of my everyday conversation, Edward Lee, Jack Ketchum, Graham Masterton, Richard Laymon, Robert McCammon, Bentley Little and Lisa Tuttle. It got to a point where I thought that I knew these people personally, and they all left a horrific taste in my mouth. So a year ago I decided to try my hand at writing. What happened was that now I have a number of self published short stories and an 85,000 word manuscript which I'm currently editing along with a head full of many more stories screaming to get out. I've never been one to take things too seriously but I will defend horror to my dying breath. I love reading horror almost as much as writing and hope through constant learning and feedback I can make the genre proud. D.K. Ryan.
