Cybernetic Demonology

March 24, 2013 4:09 pm / Leave a Comment /

This was my first foray into Science Fiction – it had been an idea that I had played with for a while and was looking to expand it into a full length novel but stuck with the short story concept as I had never ventured into the Sci-Fi genre before.

CyberneticdemonologyDescription:

A Short Sci-Fi Horror Story.

The idea was simple enough…

Create a bio-mechanical cybernetic humanoid and then test out a world’s worth of incantations and invocations to prove once and for all that ‘raising the devil’ was a load of nonsense.

The idea – if it happened to work – was to trap a demon or even the devil himself within the cybernetic creation and then control the entity from the outside.

They saw it as possession of an automated robotic humanoid, not a real human, and so the idea was passed through to the experimentation stage… Ideas rarely proceed how you want them to.

A short horror story with elements of a short science fiction story – 5000 words long – perfect for a quick read on the way to work or just as you turn in for the night!  If you would like a review copy as always then please contact me here.

Invoking the Demon

February 20, 2013 9:49 pm / 1 Comment /

invokingthedemoncover3

After suffering years of abuse at the hands of her husband, Isabella makes contact with an occultist named Nielsen, who she finds at an online forum for lost souls. He agrees to help her by invoking a demon to remove her husband from the world of the living. But when her life takes a sickening turn for the worse, Isabella is shocked to discover that it is not only the demon she should fear…

She will come to realize that there is no difference between the evil of a man and the evil of a dark one. As events unfold, Isabella will need to make a choice that will seal her own fate, for the whole of eternity.

“Invoking the Demon: An Occult Horror Story” is a 14,000 word novelette from the dark mind of Kinga Paine, it contains moments of gruesome horror, occult happenings and scenes of domestic abuse that may not be beneficial to a vulnerable mindset – you have been warned!

——————–
EXCERPT:

Human flesh and cold steel were a match made in the cauldrons of hell, nothing could have felt worse at that moment.

But it was the agonizing screaming that was keeping her awake, stopping her from slipping back into the darkness. She took the knife and held it between her feet, then leaned forward to start slicing through the rope.

Every move she took, every twitch of her flesh made her feel worse than before, but she had to move, she had to. The tensing of her muscles as she moved, squeezed more blood from her cuts and small wounds onto the bright white floor.

Suddenly her hands were free. She sighed and took a deep breath, as a feeling of nausea swept over her. The pain and the fear, were taking their toll.

Rampage

February 6, 2013 6:49 pm / 1 Comment /

I had to write this, I believe that this was a story that had to be told…

rampagecover4Synopsis:

This is Melissa’s confession - ‘Rampage: Schizophrenic Mass Murder’, is a shocking written confession and partial transcript copy from the case involving Melissa Roberts and the killing of 42 innocents.

It is about how far a young girl will go after a lifetime of abuse. After her mind splits in two, she decides to take her own life but her ‘other self’ refuses to let go easily and twists her into taking as many people with her as possible.

This includes part of the initial transcripts of the first interview with Melissa Roberts, mass murderer… and her other self.

BE WARNED: Contains scenes of mass murder and schizophrenic mayhem including elements of a school shooting. Not for the weak of heart or the easily shocked.

[quote]This 6000 word short story may offend people but note that this is fiction and Kinga Paine is 100% against actual violence against real people.[/quote]

Controversial? Maybe, but the idea here was to actually get inside the mind of a mass murderer and work her out from the moments before the killings.  Mixing murder with schizophrenia can sometime be hard to read so I laid it out in the form of a confession and transcripts to tease you into her world and then sucker-punch you when she releases her violence, pent up from years of abuse and a broken mind…

Apocalypse Bitch

February 5, 2013 6:42 pm / Leave a Comment /

The idea for Apocalypse Bitch had been in head for a while.  I guess I was frustrated with all those films and books where it was the men who were fighting over a new world – what about the women eh? eh? :)

apocalypsebitchfinalSynopsis:

When society collapsed, it wasn’t men who inherited the earth…

Jacobs is on a mission, his plan is to gain access to the one they call the apocalypse bitch, but he has to survive the city and the horrors that await him inside. Jacobs has a plan and a proposition, one that will decide her fate once and for all, but will anything pull her away from the terrible desire to inflict suffering upon others?

This is not just a simple story about the end of the world. Zombies didn’t rise up and attack, a virus did not wipe out mankind, nuclear weapons did not scorch the planet. There was not even the promise of an alien attack or reversal of the magnetic poles, no world war, no decay, no nuclear winter.

No, the end came when humans gave up on the world and the universe around them and decided to fight amongst themselves, causing a breakdown of society.

Imagine a world where you could do anything you want, enact all your sick desires and no one would be able to stop you.
That’s what this story is about, but I strayed from going into the detail of her actions and focused on the real story at hand… the plan to bring her down. Logically and realistically for something like this to happen, an apocalypse this way must come. So, this was my first end of the world story…

CELL 2 CELL: A Horror Thriller

February 3, 2013 6:35 pm / 1 Comment /

I enjoyed writing Cell 2 Cell immensely and it was one of those stories that kept on evolving as the ending became perfectly clear!

cell2cell2

Synopsis:

Jack answers a call from a blocked number, a girl is crying for help on the other end, she has been kidnapped and tortured…

…At first he thinks it’s a prank but as the call continues he realizes he has just been caught up in something that is going to change his life forever…

With enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat, ‘Cell 2 Cell’ is my latest venture into the darkest parts of your mind.

WARNING: This 7500 word horror thriller tale is NOT for the weak of heart!!

This was one of those ‘what if?’ moments. But the ‘what if’s?’ just kept on coming. The original ending changed five times before I knew the path it was to take. If you haven’t read it yet, then the final twist is going to take you by the throat and slam you into the ground, such is the evil in the world today…

This digital version is completely Free, find it here or anywhere that sells eBooks online :)

Sunburn – Roasted Alive

February 1, 2013 6:26 pm / 1 Comment /

I enjoyed creating this story, it’s the shortest I’ve written so far but it by no means hold back on the telling of a single tale.  The set-up is great and the execution is quite, quite sick – just what we all like!!

sunburn2Synopsis

In 2012, 67 people in the USA died from extreme exposure to the Sun.
40 died from Sun-poisoning; causing the shutdown of vital organs resulting in heart failure.
22 died from extreme dehydration.
4 died from all-day exposure to a hot sun resulting in sickening third degree burns to the whole of their body…

HOLLY died when she was rendered paralyzed by a crazed killer, doused in cooking oil and left to roast on a quiet beach on the hottest day of the century…

This is Holly’s last moments…

WARNING: This 4500 word Extreme Horror Tale is NOT for the fainthearted!!

This was inspired by the true story of a young girl who fell asleep on a beach but didn’t wake up. I researched this to see if it was possible to actually burn alive under a hot sun and although there is only one in a million chance of dying straight away… it had happened before!

Add a little oil, a little paralysis, the hottest day of the century and a psycho killer – it was always going to be possible…

Cemetery Dance

January 27, 2013 5:31 pm / Leave a Comment /

Cemetery Dance was my first Kindle released tale involving occult invocations and a story of the attempt to enter the underworld by raising a long-dead lap dancer.  You can’t better than that ;)

cemeterydancecoverSynopsis:

Samuel wants to escape the world of the living and he discovers a grimoire that holds the secrets of awakening the dead souls of his local cemetery.

He falls in love with a dead lap dancer whose skeleton he uses as part of the ritual. When the flesh returns to her bones, she leads him into the decaying underworld of the cemetery… but at a deadly cost!

CEMETERY DANCE is a 5500 word story that is perfect for a quick and horrific read. Would you dare to read this story before you turn in for the night?

I had the idea for Cemetery Dance for many years, just bouncing around in my head amongst other delights.  I was drawn to the title I had thought up and knew that from the title alone, I could create a story from all those ideas and Cemetery Dance was the response.

I found a perfect image for the eBook cover, although maybe as she was a lap-dancer, she should be showing more flesh :)   What do you think?
