A MACABRE THRILLER For Those Who Love POE, Clive BARKER, and The TWILIGHT ZONE. Purisima Concepción Mission Tejás 1716 “Despelleja los diablos rojos vivos!” cried Guarco. More soldiers ran past the Spanish jailer as he cheered them on. “Skin the red devils alive, I say! And may God damn them to hell!” Roaring with laughter, Guarco forced the jail door shut against the whiplash wind and secured it. With the intense heat of the day colliding with the cold of this evening tempest, hail and worse would soon follow. Pulling a torch from its hammered sconce, he made his way from the jail’s anteroom and down its unlit corridor to look in on his newest prisoner, Brezo. She did not lift her chin from her chest. “Witch!” he growled. “You hurt my friend. You let him kiss and kiss and kiss, and you ate his tongue. You chewed out his eyes while he choked on his own blood. Y-you, you-ou––” Brezo moved so quickly Guarco did not even see her head jerk or shudder, let alone rise, her upturned eyes so intense, the whites so bared, it looked as if two hard-boiled eggs had been set into her sockets. And, for the first time in his life, Guarco the jailer felt he had become the prisoner. So begins Heather’s Treehouse, a tale sprigging from the brutal black magic of Native American witchcraft, vengeance, and the savage, merciless end of things in the Old World, gone to seed in 1716 and burgeoning 272 years later in the far more modern world of 1988, Edgewood, Texas. On the outskirts of this sleepy little town, the purest form of evil has been nurtured by the blood and somatic fluids of centuries of slaughter and simmering hatred, gestating within a morbidly gnarled black oak named Heather’s Treehouse by fifteen-year-old, aspiring author Matley Joe Roberts. For Matley, Sheriff R. J. Whittaker, and the elderly Tawakoni Indian, Pappy Sobs, the horrific and grisly fight to save Edgewood is a fight not only to save their home and its unsuspecting populace, but also their own souls and the higher ideals of humanity. It is a reckoning that quickly escalates into the first battle in a timeless war of tribalism versus individualism, ensconced identity-fueled vengeance versus commonsense and reason, the inevitable result an epic total-war ruin that could threaten all of mankind if allowed to flourish and spread beyond the borders of Edgewood. “And that,” says the ever-wise Pappy Sobs to young Matley, “is why we fight. ‘Cause the very Devil himself might run this world, but he still doesn’t own it. Not as long as we never, ever, ever lie down.” “Broadstone creates three-dimensional mythologies for his fictional worlds, and with Heather's Treehouse, suggests that if the bad histories man keeps buried underground aren't exhumed, they will find a way to burst forth and reclaim an unassuming civilization with a bloody vengeance. With sharply-defined characters inhabiting a small-town familiarity, the reader becomes invested in the misfits, the bullies, and the civil servants, to the point where their commingling with supernatural forces results in genuine, mind-altering shock. Written with page-turning urgency, Heather's Treehouse is yet another gem from an innovative literary mind.” –– Jonny Numb “Heather's Treehouse is full of unexpected twists and action. It's epic, it's blood-curdling, and its raw human drama left me astounded. A tale masterfully crafted and brilliantly told! The story of Bloodmoon will haunt you for nights to come.” –– L.R.Liverpool, Author of The Man In Black

If you love POE, BARKER and THE TWILIGHT ZONE, you'll love “A CATCH IN TIME“! "A CATCH IN TIME grew so vividly and beautifully absurd…I could not take my eyes off the book for long…C. A. Broadstone has easily convinced me that his writing style is indeed brilliant." –– Oliver Lippert, The Huffington Post San Antonio Del Tequendama Cundinamarca, Colombia November 1938 ‘My front door is broken, bleeding guts of shadows...’ ‘...how do I find new skin...’ ‘...among my desolate bones...’ “But this is nothing, right?” whispered Tatiana. “I’m still alive.” These were her abstract thoughts as she stared like a saucer-eyed cat confronting a deluge––stared into her emerald green eyes in the large, heart-shaped crest-mirror hanging above the vanity table in her bedroom suite at Hotel “Bochica”, Salto del Tequendama. Tatiana Marita Ospina has run away from her forced marriage to an aristocratic philanderer, and sought sanctuary at “Bochica”, a retreat for the rich and famous. The last thing she expected, however, was to discover a convoy of Nazi SS soldiers arriving at the hotel under cover of night, led by Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess. In the darkest hours of the morning, Tatiana’s sleep is disrupted by strange, ghostly music and voices, which grip her imagination and compel her to explore the lower levels of “Bochica”, where she stumbles onto the true secret the hotel has been hiding: the occult mystery behind the rising Axis powers. Openly confronted by this insurmountable horror, she must decide if she can make the sacrifice necessary to accept her role in the secret history of World War II. But will it be destiny or damnation for Tatiana Marita Ospina, as well as for the rest of the world? Weaving together psychological horror and alternative history with theater of the absurd, A CATCH IN TIME marks the triumphant and genre-defying return of dark fantasist Christopher Alan Broadstone following last year’s SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: AND OTHER TALES OF THE INNERZONE. A CATCH IN TIME also includes two short stories from SUICIDE THE HARD WAY––SMILEYS' GRAVE and ROSEBLOOD––and also "CHAPTER 19" from the novel PUZZLEMAN. SMILEYS' GRAVE Poet Aaron Shelley Wanton has become a lost soul among artists. He's alone, miserable, broke and––worst of all––he's no longer writing. His inability to string together any words-of-worth is driving him closer and closer toward a cliff-edge of madness. Somehow he must reconnect with his muse, the Moon, who has abandoned him. Heartbroken, he once again finds himself lying among the grim stones of Mulls Cemetery, staring up at the lunar orb through the tangle of trees. On this night, however, his burning desire for the Moon's inspiration will invoke far more than he ever bargained for. ROSEBLOOD "It's every place I look." The voices agreed. The voices also intoned that today would bring something special. With a dozen roses in hand, Andre––a filthy, bearded flower-seller wearing a prairie coat and ragged cowboy hat––stepped up to the curb before him. There was a mess of merging cars inching down the frontage road, exiting from Interstate 30 into Garland, Texas. Once again the voices spoke to Andre, insisting that somewhere in this herd of vehicles there would be a sacred man. One who would nod his head yes, roll down his window, and ask how much for a rose––a blossom of God! “A great man,” muttered Andre, studying the traffic. "A saint." Evening was approaching, and Andre knew it was going to spiral into a very glorious night. PUZZLEMAN: A Macabre Thriller Fall into a world of Grumemonsters, where no one is sane down a drain, and down a drain no one is sane. Follow Amanda Zimmerman, Professor John Rainbow, Jeannette Orfèvre, Ben Henfy, and The Legless Man, all seeking retribution and escape from a horror worse than death. They are five disparate lives meticulously woven together over time to play a special part in the Puzzleman’s twisted vision of eternal life. Welcome to truth and eternity. Welcome to the Pipeworld.
