Flesh Trap: Coming soon to a computer screen near you
At Jay's Diner Casey drank coffee and wrote in his journal. Harold sat in the booth across from him, long and skinny with his mess of greased hair and lip-ring. His skin stuck to the leather seat where his colorful t-shirt and cargo shorts showed, making a squeaking sound whenever he covered his mouth to a cough. Up close he had a white stud in his nose and gold irises, details Casey had taken for granted under the dingy light of the Grab-N-Go. There was a neat square carved into his chest, heart thumping wildly between his splintered ribs, peeled open like knotted fingers. The blood trickling from the corner of Harold's eyes made Casey lean away as it began to pool on the scratched tabletop. Harold licked his dry lips.
"Hey," Harold said wetly, mouth beginning to fill with blood. It oozed down his chin to collect with all the rest, running off the table and onto the floor. "I think you left something at the store, man."
Flesh Trap is almost here. After nearly two years of work, thirty-seven draft revisions, editing, reviewing, staying up late, getting up early, doodling, scribbling, several pots of coffee and generally a lot of banging my head on the desk, we're less than a month out from the release of the first chapter. Trailers are being fine-tuned. Illustrations are being inked. Soundtracks are being scored.Chairmen (and women!) are being selected for key positions in the Casey Way Fan Club.
Check out the art. Look into the characters. Read the prologue chapter, The Girl on Mooreland Street, first published in M is for Monster last Halloween. The site is a little naked at the moment, but there's much more to come as the release date approaches on October 1st. Flesh Trap is on its way, coming soon to a computer screen near you.
