Note: These stories contain adult language, adult situations and violence that may not be suitable for all ages. You have been warned...

For the first time, the twenty-two stories found in Pandora's Children books 1-5 and Dark Interludes have been combined into two easy-to-navigate volumes.

This collection contains almost two dozen dark stories, tales where men become monsters, monsters become men, and no one is ever truly safe. You will find ghosts, demons and monsters; evil men, madmen and broken men; a wood-chipper, Santa Claus and yes, a handful of dentists. Each book contains eleven stories, over 90,000 words (almost 300 pages) of disturbing, provocative tales which will keep you thinking long after you're done reading.

In Volume 1, you will find these eleven stories:

The Devil's Toothache- A late night emergency visit changes the course of a young dentist's life. (6,800 words)

For Don- Four Vietnam veterans meet up at a restaurant in Chicago, as they do every year, to commemorate their fallen comrade, Don. (2,500)

The Madame Penitent- A teenager dying of cancer ventures out for one last thrill and finds something waiting for him in the Nevada desert. (10,600)

By the Skin of His Teeth- A young teacher tries get on with his life while dealing with the psychological trauma of having been trapped under a building after an earthquake. (2,900)

Just Meat- A first year medical student learns the consequences of defiling her cadaver late at night in her gross anatomy lab. (3,300)

The Transfer- A transfer student at a New Orleans university tries to unravel the mystery of the strange noises he hears next door. (19,500)

On the Curb- A horrific traffic accident that is not at all what it seems (6,700)

Swim- A mother faces the consequences after her three children die in a late night car accident on an icy road (6,000)

Wood Chipper Blues- A dentist is forced to consider whether or not one of his patients is a murderer after the police come to his door one night. (4,800)

Pandora's Children- A rapist and murderer is given a second chance at life by a mysterious stranger; all he has to do is control the monster within. (17,600)

Higher- A father and parole officer makes the ultimate decision when his son comes to his house with a gun looking for drug money. (7,900)

Bonus excerpt- The first half of my 25,000 word novella, Dogs of War.

About the Author

Brad spent four years earning his degree in evolutionary biology at Tulane University in New Orleans and should be, according to many of his professors, wandering the globe and searching for new animal species. Instead, he lives in New Jersey where he practices dentistry during the day and writes at night. He is married with two children and a diabetic, half-blind wiener dog named Friday.
His interests include, in no particular order: the Philadelphia Phillies, the Philadelphia Eagles, reading comic books, reading non-illustrated books (King, Koontz, Straub, Barker, Deaver, Butcher are among his favorite authors), listening to music (Tool, Disturbed, Godsmack, Chevelle, Three Days Grace and Nirvana are among his favorite bands) and playing video games. Sleeping is considered optional.Brad can be found at Facebook at Bradley Convissar author and Twitter at @bconvisdmd

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Brad Convissar was born in Georgia but grew up in New Jersey. He is a dentist by day, author by night, and husband, father and TV watcher when time permits.

He earned his BS in evolutionary biology from Tulane University in the New Orleans and his DMD from UMDNJ in New Jersey. When not filling cavities or performing root canals or extracting teeth, he's writing horror, thrillers and dark fiction. His inspiration comes from a lifetime of reading Stephen King and Dean Koontz, Clive Barker and Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub and Richard Matheson.

He currently lives in in New Jersey with his wife, two children and the spirit of his dearly departed diabetic dachshund Friday. He is a rabid Phillies and Eagles fan, except when they are not playing well, which unfortunately is most of the time these days.

He still wonders where his beloved Lost went off the tracks. The wasted potential of the series still haunts him six years after it went off the air. Thankfully, he has The Walking Dead, Flash, Gotham and the Netflix Marvel shows to keep him distracted. Oh, and also You're the Worst on FXX, the best comedy on TV you're not watching.

I read mostly Stephen King. I read a little Dean Koontz, Michael Chrichton and Patricia Cornwell. I love horror stories and pretty much like mysteries. I keep coming back to Stephen King because - well, let's face it, he is the master.

I now must apologize to Mr. King because I've found another Author that keeps me awake at night not being able to put his book down. I just finished Pandora 's Children: The Complete Nightmares Book 1 by Bradley Convissar. By the end of the third story, I found myself purchasing Book 2 and several other books of his. Every story in this book was very good and kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to get to the end, then being disappointed that it did end. I was sure I knew just what was coming in each story and how it would end. I was wrong... very wrong!

I'm definitely not a literary critic, but I know what I like and I like Bradley Convissar. I'm not giving up on Stephen King but between his books I've got Bradley and between Bradley's books, I've got Stephen King.

Life is good, and horrifying! By the way, if he's as good a Dentist as he is a writer, I'm still staying with Dr. Van Pelt!

Great Stories

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2012

I read the author's free short story 'Blink' and liked it well enough to take a chance buying his book. It's an excellent, well-written book without any of the grammar and spelling errors that dominate so many other books. His stories were very interesting (my favorites being 'To Don', 'The Madam Penitent', and 'Just Meat'. I really liked the author's writing style and fully agree with what he has to say in his introduction. That the current trend in horror stories is to have violence just for the sake of violence and sex just for the sake of sex. There is violence and sex in these stories but they are woven into the plot and do not seem out of place. It's a great delight to me to read an author who can balance these things so well. I also bought his book 'Dogs of War' and can't wait to read it. Just to clarify also, I am a real reader and not some review-bot doing this review just to oomph up the book's rating. I recommend this book heartily and intend to buy his other Pandora books.

I was intrigued by the introduction to 'Pandora's Children ' and after reading the short stories I agree completely with it.I have found a new author to get excited about! I found these stories easy to read- like listening to ghost stories around the campfire.Will definitely be buying more from him. If you were a fan of the 'I Shiver at Your Touch' collections of short horror stories you will like this book. If you are a fan of old school horror or if your old and like horror you will like this book. I will be sharing him with all my friends!

Stories were good, but...

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2013

I loved all the stories, but the misspelled and missing words drove me crazy. There were so many they distracted me from the stories. This book needs a proofreader really bad! I would still recommend this book, and hopefully when I read Pandora`s Children volume 2 the spelling and missing words won't be as bad. After thinking about this book for a few days, I decided to change my rating from 3 to 4 stars the stories were great, even with all the misspelled and missing words.

Interesting collection

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

I purchased this book to get my horror fix and I was not disappointed. There are several stories, all very enjoyable. What was great was I thought I figured out many of the endings only to be surprised in all cases. This is a great book if you only have a short time to read and don't want to stop in the middle of the story as they take at most 20 minutes to read each.

Hooked

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2012

Verified Purchase

Bradley Convissar is one of the best horror genre authors I have read in quite some time. This first book of short stories is filled with creepy characters, excellelent plot lines and moral dilemmas which hardly ever end as I would have imagined or hoped for. This is one author who has me hooked. If you like this, you'll like his second collection of short stories and his novellas. Bradley Convissar's first novel will be published early 2013 and I am definitely looking forward to it!!
