Little did he know his lovely misty city Saturday morning, was about to become a nightmare.... The young man dashed to the hall leading out to 42nd street, then cut a sharp right and jogged down and up the ramp past the Oyster Bar...the mist swirled after him, going over the bridge overpass, misting walkers in its path, those who had umbrellas opened them...it followed him as he pushed through the heaver doors to gain access to the marble stairs up to the offices on floors above. The thing swirled up the stairs after him like an amorphous polar bear...On the fourth floor he pushed through another door, accessing the great glass window hallway on the west side. The mist swiftly followed filling the hallway corridor, whiting it out...It even managed to seep through so all the levels misted opaque white...like a snow globe gone crazy.

Down in the main station it grew dim as the light was blocked, and people stared up baffled and frightened....

While high above the running man asked himself, "What does it want of me? Why me?" Running and wracking his brain for answers.

He had seen movies like this...One man running for his life against a mysterious threat...What would the star of such a movie do?

Stop and confront it?

Smokin'

Although this story has been done before and in a much better manner, I still couldn't help but enjoy this short. Jubilee has some talent and if this story had gone on just a wee bit longer with a bit more resolution, then I probably would have given it 4 stars. Keep writing! Yep, I'd recommend this story and author.

Title: I Am the Night

Subtitle: The Alpha Wolf, Book 2

Author: Slade Grayson

Narrator: K Orion Fray

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-04-17

Publisher: Vintage City Publishing

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Don't call it a sequel. It's a continuation. A new season. It's the next chapter in the story that began in Autumn Moon. The events in Autumn Moon left Rev. Drake Burroughs a changed man. He's a shapeshifter now - a werewolf - and he's hell-bent on tracking down the remainder of the shapeshifter pack that killed his congregation. Salacia, the former mate of an Alpha Wolf, has been running from Drake for a year. Now she's taken the fight back to Drake's hometown. Salacia thinks it will give her an advantage. But there's something Salacia, and Drake, didn't count on: A clan of vampires have made Drake's hometown their hunting ground. Drake thought shapeshifters were monsters. He's about to find out there are much worse things in the world than he ever imagined. I Am the Night isn't a horror novel, and it's not a suspense novel. It's a horror/action movie with werewolves, vampires, fangs, claws, and lots and lots of blood. I Am the Night is the unauthorized sequel to Autumn Moon.

Same Intriguing World, Shift In Perspective

I loved Autumn Moon. In a genre where there just arenât that many good stories, it shines as an example of the werewolf taleâs potential. Autumn Moon demonstrates how to tell a deeply human werewolf story in a fascinating, alluring world rich with mythos and intrigue.

I Am The Night does something else entirely.

Rooted in the Autumn Moon framework, I Am The Night continues the narrative of Drake Burroughs, but like Drake, the novelâs nature has evolved. This one puts Drake in the spotlight and focuses on his struggles in the aftermath of the first book.

Drake has changed, and the core of Slade Graysonâs storytelling has changed, too.

I think thatâs what strikes me the most here: the theme of change. In most werewolf stories, the idea of shapeshifting into the wolf is the central conflict. When the full moon rises and the werewolf loses control, what if he hurts someone? Wouldnât it be tragic, especially, if itâs someone he loves?

For Drake, though, the wolf is more a manifestation of his true self, skin heâs more comfortable in. I feel like part of Autumn Moonâs point is this man of God has always been a wolf, and now when he changes, thereâs the idea that, even when he was human, that wolf was there inside him all along.

That theme comes full circle in I Am The Night.

As much as anything, then, I Am The Night is about the struggle to be human when the truth is itâs in your nature not to be. Itâs about Drake struggling not to hurt someone as he moves among people and attempts to blend in.

As a foil to that idea, Slade introduces vampires to his universe, and before you groan because you immediately associate vampires with sparkling skin and teenage love, these vampires are amazingly original and terrifying. Whereas thereâs something regal and beautiful about the shapeshifters in this world, the vampires are twisted, horrid, and repulsive monstrosities. They are absolutely vile creatures, and if Drakeâs struggle is in living among humans, theyâve let it all go and enjoy living on the fringes while preying on the meek. In some ways, the vampires are like insects, living within the walls of society, in the dark places, and feeding on whatever they can get.

Even as I Am The Night simplifies, it ups the ante.

Harry's mermaid.

I've read this story 2 times now. I also have it in Steve Vernons, Sea Tales collection. I saw this one on amazon just sitting there with no reviews and thought, that's not right. It's such a great story that everyone should read. There's something about Steve's Sea Tales that jut strike a chord within me. Homespun goodness is what they are! I would recommend this story and author to anyone who loves good storytelling.

Too short

Harry is an old man, whose suffered tragedy throughout his life with the loss of his job and family. He's still haunted by the torment of his past. One day, he's on the dock, fishing with his friends when one of them hooks a mermaid. Harry's mesmerized by the creature and it may be just the thing to give him the peace he deserves.

The setting of the story was great, the way the author described the seaside town and the characters, made me feel like I was in the book. My main problem with the story is it was too short. I liked how the author went into detail about Harry's past, that made me sympathize with him. The ending was okay, yet I felt like something was missing and answers were needed.

Beautiful prose from a talented writer!

Steve Vernon is the king of the Simile! I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this short story and devoured it in one sitting. The story and the characters grabbed my attention and held on like a mountain climber clings to a rock ledge...yes...I did that simile on purpose. The way Mr. Vernon phrases his prose is like nothing I've ever read before. At times I had to stop and re-read lines to admire how beautiful they were. Extremely descriptive and creative. My only complaint is that I wasn't done with the story even though it was over. I wanted more! Great read, highly recommended.

The descriptions were well done enough to make me feel like I was there fishing with them

The story works at the length it is. Any shorter and something important would have to be cut. Any longer and it would be a different story. The descriptions were well done enough to make me feel like I was there fishing with them.

Five Stars

as always a fun read love your books

Title: A Hat Full of Stories

Subtitle: Three Weird West Tales

Author: Steve Vernon

Narrator: Richard Peterson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-17

Publisher: Stark Raven Press

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

This isn't John Wayne. Lone Star is just a beer. Forget about the Alamo. Here are a trio of Texas tales of terror spun from the fevered brain of a nightmare-riding cowboy.

Let me tell you about the three tales.

Have you wondered what sort of a cargo is in those big 18-wheeler rigs that prowl the midnight highways? In "North of Bigfoot, Bound for Memphis" I answer that wonder with a what-if that will leave you wishing you hadn't asked.

Have you ever stepped in bubblegum? Ever stuck your fingers together with Krazy Glue? Ever stepped in sheep dip and tried to shake the stink off? Stick your nose in the pages of "Jumping Chollo Will Not Die" and find out what funk really is.

If you have any brain cells left after subjecting yourself to those first two yarns then wrap your brain around the Frankenstein-influenced tale "Two Good Hands and a Hold-Out".

The eyes of Texas have never looked so bloodshot.

Crazy-Good Stories

A Hat Full of Stories by Steve Vernon is an absolute blast. It contains three short stories that are each Weird Westerns in their own right. What takes these stories and transforms them from ordinary is the singular voice that Vernon used to tell them in. These are tall tales told in bars and around campfires, growing each and every time they are told.

There are lines that you are going to want to highlight and come back to on every page. It's a form of backwoods storytelling where the metaphors are bolder and bigger than you could imagine. When the trailer doors swing open its like the crack of judgment day and then there was the kind of frog drowning rain that made a man think of building arks and gathering animals. And then there's the girl with a face that'd make a freight train think about taking a long walk down a dirt road.

These stories are irreverent. They are boldly told and take you on a journey hitch hiking on lonely roads where things seem to happen. The stories have bewitching ladies and no-good grifting losers. There are angels and devils and sins and sinners and bus rides with monsters and cold-hearted bastards. There are Main Street gunfights and brain-stealing thugs. Just chock full of good stuff.

A hat full.

These were 3 great stories. The first was sad and kind of wistful. Mostly because I've always felt sorry for Judas, because he only did what he'd been born to do. His whole life was leading up to that one point. The second story was hilarious. Jumping chollos will not die left me sputtering and giggling. My first thought was, does Steve know what a Chollo really is? Yep, he does! And he uses the comparisons to a weed in a very witty way. The third story was good, but nothing to write home about. I would highly recommend this collection of stories and most certainly this author.

3 great stories

3 great stories I enjoyed them very much Thanks Steve.

Spooky,Weird.Brainless and Awesome all at the Same Time

I really enjoyed all 3 Short stories. They were very different then anything I have ever read. Each story was exceptionally written Book #1 was kind of spooky and makes you think about how you lived your life and how a Black Truck and Driver could change your life. Book#2 was totally weird but a good weird I will never ride a bus again and if you are greedy Look out!!!! Book # 3 Had me thinking no brain but yet he was able to talk walk and spook me out.
