About this ebook

I'm an Englishman abroad in New Zealand, having moved here from the UK about four years ago. Writing for me has evolved from a means of escapism into something of an obsession. A subject that plays a major part in the content of many of my stories. Yes I'm pretty much infatuated with lunacy. It scares the hell out of me. It's all the unpredictability I think. My writing style is unorthodox and rarely sticks firmly to the genre for which it is presented, which is good because formulaic horror is like an 80's pop single. Same old, same old. I like to flip rapidly between gory horror and farcical comedy. I think that this kind of contrast amplifies the effects of both. It certainly affects me that way. I saw a film once, a long time ago, called 'The old dark house'. It was basically horror comedy but it was done so well that it just creeped me out for months! Another of my favourites (for all the wrong reasons) is 'Eraser head'. The atmosphere in this movie just blew me away. I've been criticised in the past for rampant use of expletives in character dialogue but I don't care. The characters that I write about actually live for me. I get to know them like friends and all my friends swear like troopers!I consider myself a normal man, having a wife, children and several household pets, but I have a real dark side and the best way to appease it is to write horror stories. I don't like stuff where the hero always wins out because justice has no place in horror either. Sometimes the hero and the villain are the same character. Sometimes the villains win and the heroes meet with ghastly deaths. When you see the villain/monster die in flames at the end of a movie, it's over. Why not let it live and enjoy the possibility that it just may turn up at your bedroom window in the middle of the night? Isn't that sooo much sexier?If you want to get in touch please feel free to do so. But no stalkers please. I'm fully booked in that department until somewhere around January 2025! I can be reached via my e-publisher at:HiRiscPublications@gmail.com - please put 'FAO John Vault' in the subject header and I'll get it.

This story is dedicated to those wonderful skeptics, scientists and stalwart attackers of creationism. May they observe themselves a few decades from now and realize that however ludicrous the notion of creationism seems to them, its absurdity pales into insignificance when compared with anything that they have so far produced to replace it.

Introduction.
The notion of Destiny usually invokes dreamy visions of star crossed love, world domination or super stardom. But like most silver linings it inevitably has a dark cloud hidden all around it. What if, for example, having accidentally discovered your own destiny you found that it was so dark and horrifying that you didn't want it? Or worse, that you still did? Would you follow it blindly or attempt to break with it?
Doing it for Isaac is the seventh of Uncle John's Bedtime Tales by John Vault.
Enjoy.
