Pandora's Children
Just another WordPress weblog

Welcome to the Shadows

     Posted on Sun ,19/07/2009 by admin

I would like to thank you for stumbling into my short story web.  Within these pages, you will get to enjoy some of the best horror short fiction never published.  The shorter stories will be published in a single page, the longer stories will be broken up, but published at the same time.  I will continue to submit stories every 3-4 weeks until the end of the year as long as readers continue to show interest.  So please, tell your friends to visit.  And please, leave comments, criticisms and critiques.  I appreciate the input.

Enjoy.  It won’t cost you a dime, and these days, free entertainment is the best entertainment.

A Little Snack

     Posted on Sat ,22/08/2009 by admin

“A Little Snack” is up and running!

If any of you out there took the time to read “The Devil’s Toothache”, I hope you enjoyed it.

Unlike “Toothache”, “A Little Snack” will not be available on this page; you will have to visit Pandora’s Children through the nifty link below. Stop by, its another shorter short stoy and won’t take up too much of your time.

Look forward to hearing from you. Leave a comment if you please.

As yes, my grammar and spelling are much better in my stories than my posts, which i tend to rush through a bit at work

The Devil’s Toothache

     Posted on Sun ,19/07/2009 by admin

Here it is, boys and girls, a little later than promised… but later is better than never, from what I understand. 

If you are looking for that teenage gothic angst crap, you won’t find it here.  I’m in my 30′s with a 2 year old son and a newborn.  But if you are a fan of Stephen King or Dean Koontz or Clive Barker or Neil Gaiman, if you are a fan of fiction that tweaks the mind and asks you to think, then you will enjoy what lurks within this website.

This is the first short piece of fiction I wrote for this website, though it is not the title piece.  I intended to start this site with “Pandora’s Children” as the initial story, but as it is so often with fiction, the story took on a life of its own as soon as the first word was typed.  And the result was a story about 7,000 words longer than I planned.  But what are you going to, right?  Fiction is a living, breathing creature, and once life is breathed into it, like a wild horse, it gallops where it wants. 

Instead I give you “The Devil’s Toothache”, a more managable tale of about 6,000 words which can be enjoyed  in ten minutes, though I feel that it has vast re-reading potential.

I welcome any and all comments and critiques, so don’t be shy.

So click here, or click the link to the right, and enjoy!

Come in and meet the first of Pandora’s Children
