Imagine taking the bus home at the end of a cold winter day. The bus is full of all kinds of people with all kinds of problems. And as one slowly descends into madness he notices you. Would you notice before it is too late?

HIM is a short psychosexual horror story about madness, delusion and murder. Intended for mature readers only.


 

Review on Amazon:

***** “OK, I’ll admit it. I read a short story that wasn’t a part of an Anthology, and I liked it so much I felt I needed to do a review on it! I was actually researching the author’s two new books coming out in June and stumbled on this story. I’m glad I did.

Simon is a psychologist, and works for the Minneapolis Police Department in forensics. Something really terrible happened to Simon and his lover James at Gay Pride the previous June, and the story opens with Simon sitting on a snowy park bench, lost in his own thoughts.

Thus begins a really dark, twisted tale into one man’s rapid descent into madness. I’m not giving any other spoilers. It is only 99 cents on Amazon and free with Kindle Unlimited, so give it a read. I highly recommend it. It was one of those things I finished reading and just went, “wow, that was twisted.” Great job Mr. del Mar!”

Gators, ghosts, a haunted house, love, loss and college boys playing “hide the dragon” are all found in this collection of short fiction by Stephen del Mar, and features the shared setting of Bennett Bay and Big Cypress County.

In “The Three of Us“, Sammy, Reed and Jeff have a very intense first week of college. They deal with teen angst, falling in love, and discovering that when it comes to family, there are no boundaries.

In “The Broken Heart“, Zach retires to Florida to restore an old boat and get over his dead lover. He is done with love. Or so he thought. With the help of a ghost and a touch of vodou, will he be open to new possibilities?

If you rob a bank, it’s probably best if you don’t do it in the middle of a hurricane. And on the run after robbing said bank, you might want to reconsider hiding out in the most haunted house in the county. “The Demise of Bobby and Clyde” doesn’t have a happy ending, but there is a lot of ever after.

Grieving takes time, yet there is that moment when we turn the corner toward “moving on.” “The Envelope” is a short and intense story about the moment Tony realizes how much his partner, Lance, loved him. And what he needs to do to say goodbye.
