About John T. M. Herres
I am a fiction writer;
A creator of larger-than-life heroes of ages gone by;
Great wizards tainted, and those who resist them;
War between interstellar travelers, both on this planet and far away;
Alien races intent on the annihilation of any being not their own,
and weaker ones in need of a savior- as well as the One who becomes their savior.
Clashes with bad people and dangerous places, where only one can survive.
When you get to my writing, sit back, hold on, and enjoy the ride!

Something is hiding in the shadows...
Everywhere you go, it follows...there is no escape... A soft hiss floats up from the darkness, and you know it draws nearer. Terror grips your heart, and your mouth goes dry.
Your first instinct is to run, but at the same time you can't deny your own curiosity. What is it? What is this unknown thing that is hunting you? No longer able to stand it another second, you turn around to face it... and well... you know what curiousity did for the cat...
In this book, you will find 13 stories on new, mysterious monsters. No vampires, no werewolves and no serial killers. Perhaps if you're lucky, you will learn their identity before they rip out your throat.

When Monsters Rule the Earth...
Herein you’ll find a series of sojourns to places where humans are often quite literally overshadowed by the action at hand. This collection of exciting tales from writers who love the giant monster genre runs the gamut from mutation to invasion—from insurrection to vengeance—from the distant past to a far-off future, all with a single common factor: great big game-changing things. Featuring stories by Essel Pratt, Roma Gray, John T.M. Herres, Raymond Johnson, Mark Henson and Kevin Candela, a poem by Kent Hill and graced with a fascinating and insightful commentary by none other than TJ Storm, the man inside Legendary Studios’ Godzilla suit, this anthology is, in daikaiju terms, “a major stomp.”

Full Moon Slaughter 2
Oct 13, 2017
$3.99
The classic stories like little red riding hood, beauty and the beast, and the wolf men who joined in the first Olympic games, all show the different takes on therianthropy through the centuries. It’s intriguing to think of so many cultures focusing on the idea of a man becoming something else or vice versa, an animal changing into a human to enact some feat of bravery or malice. The differences of them all could keep you reading for days, and now in this collection, we have writers creating their own myths and using these same principles to entertain or shock the audience into imagining the multitude of strange creatures lurking in their imaginations just beneath the flesh and bone, all dancing and shifting within their grey matter.
