Dead Ends is an eclectic potpourri of nine horrific tales, including two tales to be adapted for full-length upcoming novels, Drive and Fireman

Dead-end Tale 1: Drive
A battered black Audi Quattro in Old Castle's scrapyard has become a morbid attraction for the town's youth since 17-year-old Kelly Monroe's life was taken in that tomb-on-wheels. Kelly's three best friends make the mistake of paying the scrapyard a nocturnal visit to say a final goodbye.
This short story is going to be developed as a full-length novel with the same title slated for late 2024

Widow Slater is a haunted woman who cannot escape her past. Thinking she is losing her mind, she makes a strange confession.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Admittedly, Jonathan has done things arseways most of his life, from completing a BA in Literature in his thirties to fitting teeth brackets (30's, porcelain). During this general confusion, Jonathan has had various short stories published. Jonathan suffers from photophobia though has a tendency towards fireworks. Originally from Limerick, Ireland, he now lives the reclusive life in Toledo, Spain, as a bearded hermit, with his wife and three daughters. He is known to be found in the local cemetery at the weekend during daylight hours, though for goodness sake, don't sneak up on him.
