SOMETIMES "BETTER LATE THAN NEVER" IS OK, SOMETIMES







SOMETIMES "BETTER LATE THAN NEVER" IS OK, SOMETIMES



The end is here, dear readers... of my Countdown anthology experiment!

I am admittedly late with my final Countdown To Horror Zero Tale.
The final tale has taken a life of its own and I have had to catch up with it.
The original tale has morphed from one horror tale,
Title to remain unknown,
Into the different horror tale I have almost finished for you, as of today.
I will present this tale to you by next Monday, September 13th, 2015.

I may publish it this week,
I'll see.

So, it is nearly done.
The title is... The Siren In The Shed Behind The House!

I believe you will like this tale of a man who inherits a big house on lots of land from his dead uncle.
And on that property,
In the large shed in the back of the house,
Is something alive that will blow this man's mind, and soul, away from reality...
Into his new reality paradigm.

OK, see you soon with this final tale in tow.
And, as usual, check out my daily horror postings that appear all over the place.
You know the horror when you see the horror!

DEATH CLAIMS ANOTHER HORROR VICTORY -- WES CRAVEN







DEATH CLAIMS ANOTHER HORROR VICTORY


All horror centers around this central component -- Death!
For humans, what is more horrible that the thought of meeting death?
And, in what way will you meet death?
By a snake bite?
By a car crash?
Eaten by an animal predator?
Killed by another human being?

Or, will you meet death vicariously by way of the imagination of another human --
Be he, or she, a writer or a film maker.

I've always preferred to meet death and horror through the imagination,
And through the lens,
Of a horror master like... Wes Craven!

And, son-of-a-bitch,
How ironic is it that death itself...
The ultimate horror trope...
Silences the masters of horror.

Goodbye, Wes Craven.
I have known your work for all of my life.
I will miss you and your powers... until death claims me, too.

THE END IS NEAR, DEAR READERS








The end is near, dear readers... of my Countdown anthology experiment!
After today,
I have one more horror tale to present to you in this particular Horrorwalker world!
The Countdown To Horror Zero finishes in two weeks from today,
And the sadness felt by this writer is palpable and profound.
So, in two weeks, the final story for this horror show will be released.
That tale is: HORROR ZERO.
That horror will be in your life very soon.
And so, for right now, just concentrate on this next to last horror tale titled...
Where Is God In All This Mess?

Look for it in a couple of hours from now.
Oh my, one more tale to go!

THE THREE YEAR COUNTDOWN TO HORROR ZERO JOURNEY SOON CONCLUDES


Hello fellow fans of horror literature in general... mine specifically.
I have something to tell you about me, and my writing.
If I can have a few more minutes of your limited time,
I will tell you how much I appreciate your horror patronage.
Thanks.

RLJ






(TO THE LAST QUARTER TABLESPOON)




The final three tales in this horror anthology are soon to be presented to the world at large over the upcoming few weeks of the Summer of 2015. This horror story project has been a blast to my brain... my creative thought processes... and I am so honored to have actual real life humans take a few moments of their precious time, from week to week, to actually stop what they are doing for a short time and read the horror stories that I write.

Thank you very much, all. This project, like all of the dozens of stories I invent every week, is essentially non-paid catharsis to keep this always on mind sane. I am in the poorhouse because of all this free content, but that does not prevent me from the obsessive need to write for you! 

I self-edit my own work. And so, a real life horror caveat that I have dealt with for over fifty decades might have reared its ugly horror head, absolutely invisible to me, in the form of my "self-diagnosed" dyslexic flaws in my transference of my words from brain to page. So, if you have seen a weird bit of grammar in my writing... well, always keep in mind that at least I write well enough to allow you at know what I mean, I hope.

This horror journey has been an exercise in remembering the difference between the word exorcise and exercise, for an example of the simple things that can trip-up a writer if he, or she, has an issue in the brain. But, I hope that in revealing this personal information about myself, I will give at least one reader of what I write the hope that he, or she, can write down the thoughts inside their brains and share those thought, if they would like to do so.

OK, that was a little insight into me and a part of my motivations for writing.

In conclusion, again, this is a thank you love letter to horror fans... and to those of you who have taken the time to, by proxy, show me something back in reading what I write. And I hope these final three Countdown To Horror Zero tales of Horrorwalker horror bring you horror enjoyment as you, again, tune in to me and this horror world I invented for you... and for me, too.

Thanks... and look for my next tale to arrive tomorrow, or perhaps, in a few days. I really am saddened that the end of this project is near completing. I might string this on for a few extra weeks, so please don't hate me if I do.

Finally, I plan to take these sixty plus tales and bind them into a physical tome soon after I am concluded with my final Countdown To Horror Zero Tale. This unique horror exercise is made for that format. My plan is to publish this work and travel across the country to sign the books and meet all of the good fans of horror... and science fiction and fantasy and humor and all the rest... and let you see who I am.

If you are interested in my projected plans, please send an e-mail to your favorite publisher and let them know about my plan, and me, and you... and The Countdown To Horror Zero. As a way of paying you back for taking your time to help me, I promise to continue writing all kinds of tales like the ones you have taken the time to read from me. And, again, I hope to meet you all one day out there in... The Horrorwalker World.

RLJ



Oh, 
Least I forget,
The title of the next Countdown To Horror Zero horror tale is...

TO THE LAST QUARTER TABLESPOON!

I am sure you know what is in that tablespoon!

See you in that tale, very soon!

THE ORDER OF HORROR


(AN INTRODUCTION)



HORRORWALKER WORLD PUBLISHING




Order, 
In a frightful world of horror, 
Floats down on ebon wings that catch the air for a silent soft landing.
It cleans up the messes made by man and monster alike...
By balancing what should be and what should not be.

Is Order death... or is Order life?
Is order that which takes away life... or removes death?
When the wings that serve carry away the bodies of the dead,
And the living,
Is Order is what is left behind.

Can a story restore balance and Order?
Can a tale of what has been restore Order?
Can a narration of what will be restore Order?
Can a missive of what is restore Order to a horror world of chaos?
You are now home... in the Horrorwalker World... the place to find Order!

Here are the tales of horror that bring balance.
Here are the tales of horror that bring Order.
Here are the tales of horror that will either drag you to hell...
Or, drag you to what you might believe is heaven.
What are you waiting for to find your order... read, read, read!

PROLOGUES TO: LOG ENTRY 1002


LOG ENTRY 1002

Now finished and awaiting publication.
Coming soon...
For a small remittance.

RLJ


*******************************************************


PROLOGUE ONE: LOG ENTRY 1002

(Holden Beach, N.C.)



The bizarre alien probe,
In the form of a 12 foot wide orb with its 360 degree television-like surface,
Hovered five feet off the ground mere yards from our huddled group.
The warn out humans in my camp,
Battered by our soul killing circumstance,
Sat mesmerized as the alien on the screen scolded us until it reached...
 Log Entry 1002!

Afterward,
The probe flew off into the sunny sky,
Leaving all 23 of my people limp because their reality was now... a moot point!

We all now have the story of Log Entry 1002 etched into our minds.
The probe imprinted all we saw and heard directly into our memories.
And now we all look at each other and ask ourselves...
Where is our meaning now?

RMM









PROLOGUE TWO: LOG ENTRY 1002

(Holden Beach, N.C.)



The alien observer returned to a tainted earth after hundreds of years away exploring other planets in the galaxy. 
What it found when it returned appalled it to the point that it decided to intervene in human progress.
It took extreme action against “the human pestilence” by laying waste to most of the earth’s population within weeks.
And now I, and a handful of survivors, are left gobsmacked by the words if left with us as it left earth... “There Is No God!”

A SHORT REALITY COMMENTARY AND A THANKS TO MY READERS







Hello Friends,

I thank every person who continues to come back, from day to day and from week to week, to read my horror prose and horror poetry... in addition to the social non-fiction I post every day. This is all a self-imposed labor of love for me. I write because of a cathartic need to express the continually building pressure of thoughts and story plots that race through my brain cells every second of my day... and night. I have reams and reams of paper stacked here and there, and notebooks filled with scribbles and notes of the ideas that scream at me to write them down on paper.

And... I want to give a little explanation about one aspect of my brain that I ALWAYS fret about with myself. You know, some of us talk to ourselves... especially when we are doing something intense -- like writing! The one thing I complain to myself about is my Dyslectic mind.

I self-edit everything I write. And it can be a battle sometimes when I read over a story five times and I still miss a mistake like making the word "it" into the mistake "ot." The frustration is... I read over my work multiple times, but I still see "it" when I look at the mistake "ot."

So, if you see little mistakes like that in my writing, there is a reason.

This is a battle MANY people have! Young people with this issue can be EXTREMELY DISTRAUGHT if the adults around them refuse to to be humans and realize that when they are attacking their children by accusing them of not trying to learn, that in fact the child might not be properly processing the words he is reading. A simple test by a parent can tell the tale.

Have your child write you a paragraph about his, or her, day. If your reading skills are not up to par with dissecting grammar and syntax and all that advanced English stuff... find a friend, or a teacher, to examine the child's writing. The answers to what is going on inside your child's mind WILL be right there on paper.

You never know... you might have the next great writer, or the next great journalist, right there inside your house.

Oh, and NEVER forget to hug your child and gently let her know that you LOVE her and will always be there for her!

Oh my, what a right angle turn I just made. Hoo boy... I guess I needed to get a personal demon off my shoulder.

OK, in closing... this missive was suppose to be a thank you for reading my writing. And, I wanted to tell you that I try my best to be mistake free, but I hope you will understand that all I want to to is write my horror tales to entertain YOU.

Thanks for coming back... and I hope I can, one day, write something that really knocks your socks off.

Have a good rest of 2014. And I'll see you later today when I post the next FOURTH LINE OF HORROR tale!

EXCERPT FROM THE NEW HORRORWALKER WORLD NOVEL -- OFF THE OCEAN



(EXCERPT FROM THE NEW HORRORWALKER WORLD NOVEL -- OFF THE OCEAN)





         -- The moss and lichen covered entrance of the ancient cave looked like the maw of a monstrous toothless deep sea fish. Will-o-the-Wisp fairy-like mist, borne upon the constantly direction changing air flow inside the cave continually pushed its way from the inner bowels of the unexplored darkest depths of the cave. Sometimes the air flow was very stiff and cold, sometimes it was very gentle and cool, as it spilled out into the cool open air breeze blowing off the Atlantic Ocean.

That ocean mist, mixing with the cave air, always made the opening appear to be likened to a living breathing entity blowing scentless smoke out of its mouth… or at certain times, drawing outside mist inside -- thus the name, The Smoking Cave!

Primordial is the feeling one gets when standing before the opening to untold thousands of years of internal earth erosion by rain water, the occasional flooding with ocean water and the internal sculpting of the cave walls by unknown forces that inhabit the deep and the dark in the absence of light far down inside a damp, ancient cave.

And many curious wayward children, and many more defiant adults, have explored the first few hundred yards into this cave… ignoring the signs posted around the entrance by the state declaring The Smoking Cave to be a dangerous place to play in and explore. Braver, or the more stupid, tempters of fate, push deeper into the cave. Twenty people have died inside this nature created tunnel into the unknown over the course of a long period of time… all from drowning accidents, over the time period of six decades.

Many more people fear the reputation of the dark dangers existing inside of The Smoking Cave‘s twisty interior. It is well known, even to those people who would never dream of entering the cave, that if you dare to explore this complex cave… before long, there is that discernible, extremely sharp downward slope of around 100 yards called Forges Drop-off, that leads down into the watery bowels of the cave. It is that dropping point that actually loses so many people. It takes a special type of Caver to make that plunge. And twenty explorers have died at that point in the cave by surprisingly fast moving sea water rushing into the cave during unpredictable high tide-like events. It is said that the water level can rise from three inches to six feet within the time space of one hour.

Deadly dangerous indeed!

Where that water enters the cave is still, to this day, a vexing mystery to everyone. The Caving expedition crew has yet to be formed that has committed to mapping, finding and possibly corking that point of flooding. If so many explorers did not risk their lives in The Smoking Cave, no one would really care. But, the fate of this cave will probably be sealed if another death occurs inside its mysterious depths.

Actually, Brunswick County has been trying to force the state to plug the entrance with cement for decades, but the local Native American councils consider The Smoking Cave to be a historical sacred burial site… backed by the university archaeologists in Wilmington, Raleigh and Chapel Hill.

The ancient Choctaw charcoal cave drawings of men, dogs, the undecipherable map of a land area and the odd shaped fish like creatures discovered by Robert K. Hawksclaw in 1974, 1298 yards deep into the cave, proved the Native American point... and so, the cave remains open to members of the general public who ignore the warnings, the few researchers who brave the cave and daredevil Cavers from around the world who sneak into The Smoking Cave to test their Caving abilities, and their luck.

And right now… these two young men, weighted down by pounds of gear and heavy boots, are slogging out from the darkness and the dankness of a corner of the deeper depth of The Smoking Cave… up from the furthest they have ever descended into this, their sixth time exploring the cave… making their way to the awaiting exit… out from the claustrophobic depths of this cave to reenter the open world.

And they have witnessed the unknown in the deep darkness of The Smoking Cave. These two men had just touched a piece of the awesomeness that makes nature grand and often unexplainable… that which was about to rock the very foundation of the personal world they stand on. --

INTRODUCING HORRORWALKER WORLD HORROR NOVEL #5! -- OFF THE OCEAN!


horrorwalkertravelguide.blogspot.com presents:


OFF THE OCEAN





Ronald Lee Jones




A Horrorwalker World Production
Horror For Adults... And Teens, Too!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OFF THE OCEAN is Horrorwalker Travel Guide: Tome One of the moments-in-time story of the many dangerous adventures of two North Carolina brothers as they explore the vast area of the North Carolina shoreline, and more, of the place of their births and the place where they live... just OFF THE OCEAN.

What they have discovered, and stumbled upon, as they push farther and farther into the depths of the unknown is this... sometimes horror is the discovery you will make.

Their names are in the novel. Their occupations are in the novel. What they discover, in this life altering first big discovery inside a notoriously dangerous coastal cave... OFF THE OCEAN... changes the paradigm of how they view the world around them... from their relationship with each other to the way they view the danger of the caving that drives them forward toward extreme exploration.

Coastal North Carolina, below Wilmington and above the South Carolina state line is made up of rivers, channels, the Intracoastal Waterway, streams, lakes and ponds... a few large cities and many very old small towns... forest land and swamp land... plants and animals only found in coastal North Carolina... and Sonny Point, the massive secretive military base sequestered just... OFF THE OCEAN... a few miles south of Wilmington.

Other than the general knowledge that Sonny Point is an open secret largest military terminal in the world... a massive ammunition point for the American military... since it was built in 1951, the millions of area residents know as little about the military installation today as they knew in the '50's when the rumors about Sonny Point began to leak into the public. Few civilians have seen the entrance, let alone anything else about Sonny Point.

Are there ancient creatures and plants that have survived over the centuries in the North Carolina coastal area... OFF THE OCEAN. Or, what secrets is the military holding on this massive installation? And what secrets from that massive installation may have either escaped, or accidentally, found their, or its, way... OFF THE OCEAN... over the course of 60 years plus?

Perhaps the protagonists of this story might have stumbled one such mystery in that cave, on that day, in the darkness... OFF THE OCEAN!



Look for OFF THE OCEAN this winter!
I am seeking a publisher right now.
If you are intrigued by what you have read...
Send some vibes to your favorite publishing house.

You have read my horror short story writing.
Now I want to show you horror in the long form.
You will see it soon,
In one way or the other.
