About this ebook

The Missed Creations is a collection of horror stories by John Beach. Primarily conceived in the early 1980s, these tales lived fragmented, uncompleted lives only in the mind of the author, a mind too busy with other aspects of its own life to give them the attentive care they deserved. The author has, however, finally given them a semblance of life and released them here.

This collection contains two novellas and five short stories, each of which includes a Classic Monster type: mummies, Frankenstein-like monsters, werewolves, vampires, invisible men, ghosts, or zombies. Although horror stories, none of these tales are particularly horrific, gory, or even frightening. They are instead human stories, sometimes sad, heroic, mean, defiant, crazy, even laughable. These stories wanted to be written but they would prefer to be read.

John Beach

John describes himself now as “the evolutionary result of Paperboy to Grocery Store Worker to Professional College Student to Magazine Editor to Computer Night Operator to Jr. Database Programmer to System Administrator to Computer Consultant to College Professor to Dean of Information Technology to Retired Old Guy Who's Really Not Old Enough To Be Retired.” He’s always been around writing and has used it daily in his professional life. He's used it in his leisure time, too, often when he plotted out D&D adventures that he and his players communally craft together around the dining room table and on Zoom. John’s always loved stories, always had them forming, churning, and reshaping in his brain. It wasn’t until he began closing in on an early retirement (for health reasons) that he began to get those stories out of his head and into text documents and then released into the world through ePublishing.You can visit with John on Facebook. He’d love to hear from you regarding his written work (and your hobbies), and he would greatly appreciate it if you could write reviews for his books. Ask him for free coupons if you need them. He only puts prices on his most recent books so that people will take them more seriously. The money’s not important: his stories and poems just want to be read.
