Bir zamanlar bir kitap yazmıştım. Lisedeki beynimden doğmuş, yalnızlık ve fazla hormonlarla yönlendirilen çılgın bir fanteziydi. Canavar insanların, vahşi özgürlüğün ve gerçek hayatta asla elde edemediğim türden romantik ilginin olduğu bir dünyaydı. Her imkansız arzumu içine döktüm: macera, tehlike ve evet... 'çok sayıda' yakışıklı partner. Farkına bile varmadan, saf kaçışçılık ve saf heyecan dolu bin bölüm yazmıştım. Sonra bir üniversite kamp gezisinde bir uçurumdan düştüm. Bir hastane odasında uyanmayı bekliyordum ama hayır. Yeryüzü'nün herhangi bir yerine ait olamayacak kadar temiz havalı, yumuşak bir çim alanında uyandım. Ve sonra arkamda bir şey hareket etti. Kuyruk sokumumdan çıkan... Bir kuyruktu. Benim kuyruğum mu? Sarı ve siyah çizgili ve çok, çok gerçekti. Ona dokundum. Tamamen gerçekti. Kulaklarım? Onlar da gitmiş—yani, yer değiştirmiş. Şimdi kafamın üstünde, kafası karışmış bir orman kedisi gibi duruyorlardı. Ya kıyafet? Oldukça açık, kuyruğumla uyumlu hayvan derisinden yapılmış. Neler oluyordu? Başta bunun bir şaka olduğunu düşündüm. Ya da bir rüya. Ya da belki de karma sonunda bedelini ödüyordu. Ama zihnime daha fazla yabancı anı sızdıkça, durumum daha net hale geldi. Bu bir kostüm değildi ve burası Dünya da değildi. Ve—sürpriz—kendi kitabımdan bir dünya da değildi. Eyvah. Tamamen farklı bir Hayvan Adam dünyasına, Arinya adlı bir canavar kız olarak taşınmıştım. Kulağa eğlenceli geliyor, değil mi? Eee... eğer görünüşe göre tüm savanın en çirkin ördeği olmasaydım eğlenceli olabilirdi! Karşılaştığım her potansiyel eş adayı tarafından reddediliyordum ve sanki lanet bir göz ağrısıymışım gibi bakılıyordum. Fantezimin gerçeğe dönüşmesini böyle planlamamıştım. İnan bana—eğer bu benim gerçeğe dönüşen fantezimse, o zaman birinin yazarı kovması gerekiyor. Ama bu dünyaya girdikten sonra, aniden... Çekici oldum. Yani, yüzümde bir değişiklik yok ve çiller hala orada, ama nedense yakışıklı canavar insanlar etrafımda toplanmaya başladı, çünkü kokum... Hoş. Bunun anlamı ne?

Captain Edmund Hopkins thought he had scrubbed his city clean of its monsters. He’s the local hero. But when a teenage girl is found mutilated under a flickering warehouse light with the words GO TO SLEEP smeared in her blood, Edmund realizes the nightmare isn't over. Six stories above the rotting streets, sixteen-year-old Josh and his older neighbor Daniel stare down at the asphalt, desperate to feel something. Starved for meaning in a monochrome, apathetic world, their search for salvation drags them through underground psychedelic trips, the sordid depths of the city's underbelly, and ultimately, into the ultimate high: taking a human life. As the body count rises and the boundary between reality and hallucination frays, the paths of the weary detective and the nihilistic youths hurtle toward a bloody collision. Because the legend of Jeff the Killer isn’t just an internet ghost story to scare kids. It’s a philosophy. It’s a calling. And it's demanding new disciples. Warning: This story delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche. It contains graphic violence, drug use, heavy nihilism, and mature themes. Read at your own risk.

When the universe was created, nothing significant happened. When the universe was destroyed, nothing significant happened. When the universe was created again, nothing significant happened. When the universe was destroyed again, nothing significant happened. But while the second universe was still around, everything significant that could possibly happen, happened. This is that story. Or is it? Maybe. Probably not. You'll have to read it to find out. I think.

Follow Asher on his adventures, as he goes from the Fallen King, to the bane of all in high positions, and the end of those who cross him.

In the early 21st century, a mysterious pathogen, later named the Blacklight Virus, is unleashed into the heart of a modern city. Within minutes Zombies become reality, society begins to collapse. Families turn on each other. Streets fill with blood. Civilization fractures under the weight of something it cannot understand. Governments scramble. Militaries mobilize. Entire cities are sealed behind walls of steel and fire as the world races to contain what may already be unstoppable. All evidence points to a terrorist attack. A foreign agent. A biological weapon. A deliberate act of war. But the truth is far worse. There was no grand conspiracy. No master plan. No shadow organization pulling the strings. There was only one man. A shut-in. A failure. A nobody. Jeff Dracula Given power he does not understand, Jeff accidentally triggers the beginning of an zombie apocalypse, partially by accident. Now, as cities burn and humanity desperately fights the spreading infection, Jeff fearing being blamed for it all faces a choice: Turn himself in… and face the law. Or go into hiding amongst the chaos he started. He chooses neither, because Jeff Dracula isn’t trying to save the world. He’s just trying not to go to jail. And if that means creating more chaos and losing his humanity, then so be it.

One day, a strange hand suddenly appeared inside Chi Wan’s interdimensional space. Its owner claimed to be living in the apocalypse—starving, desperate—and begged to trade anything he had for food. Chi Wan stared at the pile of Imperial Green jade, oversized diamonds, and dozens of kilograms of gold bars he offered… and fell into deep thought. …Wasn’t this a little too profitable? From then on, her connection to the apocalypse only grew stronger. The mysterious man—who turned out to be a powerful figure—used his Wood Ability to help her revive rare orchids, cultivate endangered plants, and even harvest zombie crystal cores for the country. As for Chi Wan? She only had three responsibilities: feed him, feed him, and keep feeding him. Somehow, without realizing it, a group of extraordinary men began to gather around her: A genius research scientist. An aloof, abstinent CEO. A cold and ruthless Soldier King… In front of Chi Wan, they were gentle, attentive, and impeccably polite—each trying to outshine the others. Behind her back? They were one step away from tearing each other apart. Meanwhile, on the other side of the spatial link… The so-called King of the Apocalypse clenched his teeth in silence as he listened to these men compete for her attention. As for Chi Wan? “I’m busy getting rich and supporting my family,” she said calmly. “A battle royale of suitors? I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Until one day— An absurdly handsome man appeared at the gates of her villa… carrying a sack filled with gold and jewels. “I’m here to marry into your family,” he declared. Chi Wan glanced at him, then at the newly connected wasteland world inside her space… …and once again fell into deep thought.
