Ten Pieces: a collection of short stories
By Ross Allaire
Ebook (PDF):
$5.00
Download immediately
Ten stories for under twelve dollars? [OR DOWNLOAD IT FOR FIVE IF YOU CLICK ON MY NAME AND THEN SCROLL DOWN A BIT, BECAUSE... More > FOR SOME SILLY, ASSUMABLY BUDGET-RELATED REASON IT DOESN'T SHOW UP HERE ON THIS PAGE.] Wtf? Here we have an anthology collection of ten, that's right... 10 select short stories by author/poet/musician blah blah blah Ross W. Allaire, including the semi/neo-epic poem "The Busride To Oblivion" and one that's only a few paragraphs. There is one where harm comes to an innocent, and you might be horrified. Does that make it horror? I don't know. I don't think so... I mean, at the end of the day, there's not much that's truly SUPERnatural, is there? Even a ghost has an electromagnetic resonance frequency or something... anyway, these stories are nuts. And this is like a rock bottom price for this book. It's out here. It's all out here. For all of you. < Less

The Autobiography of Jesus X: Volume 2

Ebook (PDF):
$5.55
Download immediately
Hey, it's me... Jesus, now in hardcover! I don't want to just repeat the warning. It's on the back of the book, and the 2nd... More > or 3rd page in so it's in the preview, too. Read the warning, take heed. Imagine, and suspend disbelief: Jesus was God, then died, and now finally finally writing his memoirs, like a new bible, but more like a standup comedy routine at times. I know you already know some stories. But there are strange twists that history has seemed intent on ironing out... for better or worse. All is told here, my last real message to humanity before the world ends. Self publishing through Ross is the only way I could get The Real Word out. F-d up, ain't it? This book, and its companion, are the good and bad, awful truths of the longview, itself: sarcastic and cynical, daring and impassioned and apathetic. This tome is not wicked, but frankly delicious.

On Tuesday, June 18, 1996 at St. Antony’s High School, 59 students and 12 teachers were killed in a riot during 6th Period... More > Lunch. Identification of the dead lasted 19 days, and notification of family members took the rest of that third week. Students’ parents were camped out on school property, and some members of the parish took rooms in the convent next door. Authorities heading the investigation - alumni of the school - later stated that it had been decided from the start that news of the incident should not be made public – for fear of creating a panic. The parents of the victims complied. 4 teenagers just got away with the crime of the century, and no one seems to care. So what? Now what? These four are "godlings" out to conquer the world and then some. They take no great care and no prisoners… at least not yet. Find out what makes these kids tick, or if they even tick at all.
