“Where does your rage come from?”
One of the nice things about reading horror is that many of the authors are willing to experiment and take risks both in their fiction and in the real world.
One such horror writer, Brian Knight, is making his out-of-print novella called Heart of the Monster available for free from his website Brian-Knight.com.
This story was published as a chapbook in 2004 with a limited run. It’s out of print and not easily found — until now.
I read it and was blown away by the power of the story, the use of metaphor and by the really cool monster waiting within the pages.
Click on this link to go to the page where you can download Heart of the Monster. You can read it right there or save it to your hard drive. The novella is in a PDF format so you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it — if you don’t have Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, you can get it for free here.
While you’re there, check out Brian’s website and see what else he’s written.
Where does your rage come from?
Karl knows; he stares at it every night from his back patio.
The Heart Of The Monster.
It calls to him, and for fifteen years Karl has resisted it’s pull. But to confront the monster he is becoming he must go back and confront the ghosts of his past, and those who he left behind.
Since I published this post, Brian Knight has added a short story called “Toys in the Attic” and a comic version of his story “Don’t Toy With Me” to his Free Fiction page. Don’t miss out on this opportunity: Go. Download the stories. Read. Enjoy.
