    About this ebook

    An exciting drama behind the dementia of Harold, a boy excluded from society but included in another world created to appease his anxiety and his distorted love for Ellen. She is the one good thing in his life. And life is good, until he meets a madman in a graveyard.

     

    Review: Ellen, Lee Pletzers. Hand it to author Lee Pletzers: he's not afraid to examine the outermost regions of human depravity and still make the story literate and involving enough not to be exploitive. Recommended – but again, with caution: This is horror cooked rare with the blood dripping from the plate. If you're a drinker, you may want to pour yourself a stiff one before plunging in. --  C. M. Briggs (Amazon Reviewer)

      Beer tasted like wet money—or maybe just bad beer did. Viola had never tried any other kind. She preferred white wine, but there was no white wine at this party. “Drink it like medicine,” the guy manning the keg said. “It’ll loosen you up.” He wore a

      Holden Caulfield And The Culture Of Sexual Assault

      Feb 12, 2018

      Since it came out in 1951, The Catcher in the Rye has meant different things to different readers. For some, Holden Caulfield was the rebellious voice of a generation; for many today, he’s a whiny rich kid; for a pair of recent biographers, he’s the

      First published in the anthology: The Horror Society 2013. They published the story and I never got my payment of a free copy. I hate it when publishers and editors don’t follow through with contract promises.

      Then published in Japan in September 2015 by Triskaideka Books under the pen name, Richard Lee, via Direct publishing.
