    About this ebook

    DRAWN into the haunted home of the mad Dr. Wells, outcast teens Ricky and Paul find themselves on the brink of madness!

     

    A week ago, Celine, their best friend, vanished within these sinister walls. Now, they must face the horrors of the blighted Wells house - To save her or be crushed by terror and degradation.

     

    Ricky, shy and lovestruck, secretly pines for Celine, but trepidation entombs his heart. As he and Paul venture into the mouth of Hell, his past and present weave between their lunatic rescue attempt and Ricky's struggle to profess his love.

     

    Can Ricky, Paul and Celine overcome this nightmarish cycle of love, fear and insanity?

     

    Find out in 'GROWTH,' a bone-chilling short tale of the supernatural, body horror and teenage love.

    Holter Boyd

    HOLTER BOYD was born in Brooklyn, NY. He’s lived his whole damn life on the same block except for a hazily recollected decade exploring his roots in the Deep South. He earns his living as a carpenter and house painter. Since he barely sleeps, the night often finds him writing sci-fi, fantasy and horror in his workshop. He owns a cat but doesn’t know its name because he respects its privacy.

      The Money Box

      This is not a morality tale. It’s simply a story. It began innocently enough, over a lunch of beef pho in the Financial District, when my friend Paolo first mentioned the Money Box. Paolo was a pupa of industry then, waiting to emerge as a titan. He
