SHADOW KILLER: A Silo Story Oct 7, 2018

by David R. Larson

( 2 )

$2.99

The silo is full of secrets. Deadly secrets.

Growing up in this world is hard enough for a regular kid, but so much more so when you're an orphan with no friends.

This is Bryson's reality before he is chosen by the head of IT to receive a rare opportunity to Shadow for the mysterious position of "IT courier." Wary of what may be expected of him but facing an uncertain future, he accepts the job for a chance to change his situation for the better.

As he grows into a young man, Bryson discovers dark truths about the origin and maintenance of the silo. Blasphemous things that no one knows, suspects, or would dare say out loud for fear of being sent out to clean. Or worse.

This knowledge comes at a price. When the time comes, will Bryson be willing to pay?

This 23k word Silo Saga novella is set in the world of Hugh Howey's WOOL and has been published with his permission. While it is not absolutely necessary to have read his Silo trilogy first, it is recommended.

LACED UP: A Skinhead Horror Screenplay Oct 8, 2017

by David R. Larson

( 2 )

$2.99

Skinheads scare people.

They are perceived as dangerous, unpredictable, and unapproachable.

The perfect cover for something inhuman that wants to walk among us.

*****

Paul and Danny think their friend Matt the music promoter is overreacting when he suspects foul play at one of his concerts. A kid has gone missing and Matt suspects a gang of skinheads are to blame. Paul and Danny believe that the best way to avoid trouble is to let it be, but Matt will not be deterred.

He goes missing next.

Paul and Danny think it's a prank, a well-planned revenge for their constant shenanigans. They follow clues like a path of bread crumbs, expecting a surprise, but wholly unprepared for the harsh reality that awaits them at the end. On a mysterious county farm they witness Matt being subjected to a bloody transformation ritual by the skinheads.

Paul and Danny are stuck with a choice: Go to the cops with this unbelievable story and face the real possibility of losing Matt altogether, or return to the scene armed and try to get him back themselves.

They are young and dumb, and their friend Tim has an arsenal of inherited firearms. They choose to go back.

Rescuing Matt without suffering his fate proves to be a nightmare. With time and ammunition dwindling, the trio fights a pitched battle against a relentless enemy. As all avenues of escape are cut off, they retreat deeper into enemy territory and discover horrifying clues about the true nature of the skinheads.

SNAKEFIGHTER: The Legend of Saint Patrick: (A Screenplay) Sep 25, 2017

by David R. Larson

$0.99

Wear green or get pinched!

Saint Patrick is said to have driven the snakes from Ireland.

Many believe that is simply a metaphor for the decline of paganism after he brought Christianity to the region.

Others think he led the fight against a brutal serpent cult and their living god: a giant snake.

This story assumes that second option.

It delivers a historical fantasy that blends the elements of Patrick's life and legend into an action-packed tale of love, loss, and revenge, and of snakes that are more than a metaphor. It presents a vision of an ancient Ireland suffering under the control of a violent, demonic cult, and of the heroes who rally behind a reluctant ex-slave to free their land and people from the grip of evil. It provides realistic alternatives to the miracles that are attributed to Saint Patrick's life and replaces that missing magic with new angles on various Irish myths.

It explains why we still wear green on Saint Patrick's Day, and why we risk a pinch if we don't.

Z-REX: A Screenplay Sep 16, 2017

by David R. Larson

( 1 )

$2.99

Zombie Dinosaur.

Those two words should have been enough to interest Brock Darrington, the world’s most famous big game hunter, but he’d experienced a change of heart and would no longer take the life of any animal.

His brother Dirk, leader of an infamous black-ops mercenary team, has no such qualms.

When word comes back that Dirk’s team is missing inside a sprawling, top secret research laboratory filled with violent, infected lab technicians and one cloned Tyrannosaurus rex, Brock is faced with a choice. Will he employ his legendary skills one final time to rescue his brother, or will he do nothing and let Dirk die for certain when the facility is destroyed for containment purposes in 24 hours?

WARNING: This story involves a number of animals, including dogs, that come to untimely ends. This is not done for gratuitous reasons and does serve the overall story, including the point and payoff of the ending. I feel it is only fair to mention this before a reader decides to engage with this story. I understand very well that this issue can be a deal breaker for some readers. Proceed with caution.
