The Bad End of the Trader, Delphine
A Tale from Eddard’s Grove: Episode Two
The carnival arrives early to Eddard’s Grove, and as the wagons draw nigh, Yahea reminisces on the ugly events that caused the menfolk to pick up arms, a thing he had never seen before. Fanny was only six, and what Delphine had done to her on the outside was a cruel reminder of the internal damage that she would have to live with for the rest of her life.
Warning: This story reeks of splatter. Content may offend and/or send you crying to your mommy.

About the author
Gerhard Jason Geick
13 books15 followersGerhard is the author of NOSOPHOBIA, The Childhood Apocalypse of Saint Yahea, I Eat Babies, and The Geriatric Juice Box (with Todd Love). Gerhard lives in Canada, The Great White North, with his wife, two daughters, and grand baby. You can find his works at Godless.com.
Gerhard has been writing and self-publishing for 25 years, and over the past fifteen years he has published thirteen short stories, five collections of short fiction and drabbles, and two collections of essays.
Gerhard has been a fan of horror for over thirty years. His journey began in grade seven, when he picked Pet Semetary off the shelf in his school’s library. From King, he transitioned to authors like Richard Laymon, Bentley Little, and Edward Lee. Recently, he discovered Independent Horror, Splatterpunk, Bizzarro, and Godless.com. NOSOPHOBIA was his first attempt at Splatterpunk, and it wasn’t his last. NOSOPHOBIA became a number one Godless bestseller within twelve hours of its release and has remained a Top Ten Bestseller for over three years.
Gerhard’s other influences include John Steinbeck, Ray Bradbury, Ayn Rand, John Wyndham, Michael Crichton, Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, William Golding, J.D. Salinger, Philip K. Dick, Jim Thompson, Matt Shaw, Kevin Sweeny, Rayne Havok, Simon McHardy, Carlton Mellick the 3rd, and Daniel Volpe, to name a few.
Gerhard’s writing is dark, satirical, and full of twists, and even if what you are reading is only 100 words long (a Drabble), you won't see the wall until you hit it.
When Gerhard is not writing or reading, he can often be found editing. Gerhard has been an editor for over ten years. He has edited and co-written/ghost written over sixty novels. He has also edited and developed educational scripts, pamphlets, manuals, Interactive Stories, and designed educational web sites. Gerhard is currently accepting solicitations from independent authors. For more information: BookPredator.com

A darker tale from Eddard's Grove, this is a tale of revenge told from the point of view of a child. Even peaceful people can be moved to violence if you betray them.

Even though I didn’t cry to my mommy, I thought this was a great follow up. GJG is definitely carving out his path!
