    About this ebook

    David Burfict has always been haunted by nightmares - violent ones, with unspeakable horrors, and terrifying whisperers, whose every word has always proven to be prophetic. Now, he dreams of Eschaton - the end of times. Can he avert the prophecy, or are we doomed to destruction by an entity beyond our understanding?

    Josh Shiben

    Josh Shiben lives in the swamps of Fredericksburg, Virginia with his wife and two mongrels. An aerospace engineer by day and couch potato by night, Josh has from a young age been in love with storytelling. Whether they be told through published works, e-books, or simply around a burning campfire, he's always particularly loved the captivating, yet intimate power of a scary story. Born in the late eighties, Josh spent his formative years reading Goosebumps, watching Are You Afraid of the Dark, and hiding under the blankets reading the esteemed Alan Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Today, his favorite authors include Dan Simmons, Stephen King, Richard Matheson and H.P. Lovecraft. His first novella, Dreams of Eschaton, is available now. He also blogs (ir)regularly at PoetMoreate.blogspot.com.
