Black Friday is aptly named. The day after Thanksgiving when shoppers are enticed to rise at unholy hours by stores whose merchandise is available at sale prices. This puts the merchants' ledgers sturdily in the black. Humanity ceases to be the dominant species on the planet and becomes a herd animal, trampling hapless salespeople in their efforts to get a good deal. Let me pull back a curtain and present you with a glimpse of a few other reasons this particular Friday might be called "Black".

Spend Halloween night with Steve and his new friend Billy as they go Trick or Treating together for the very first time. It's a perfect Halloween night, the full moon is peeking through the bare branches, crackling leaves lie on the sidewalk and the smell of candles flickering in carved pumpkins fills the air. Oh, and lots of candy.

Rain fell in sheets and lightning flickered through the sky as two boys snuck into the abandoned theatre. What they find will change their lives forever. If they live.

There are moments in life when we are transported into another world. As the sun sets and darkness creeps from under hedges and parked cars our world changes from one of rational logic to heart pounding emotion.

Religion is big on faith. Many religions say that there are "mysteries man is not meant to know". We are expected to believe in an all-powerful God because other people tell us to. That’s not good enough. If there is a God we need to know it for ourselves. Religion and Science butt heads. Science says: "If a thing exists, there must be tangible evidence and proof." Religion says: "God demands our unquestioning faith and devotion. Just accept it and don’t be blasphemous."

In an age of adventure, the Scottish Mexican pirate Captain Duncan MacSanchez and his brave but quirky crew embark on a quest for the Blaze of Glory.

In our modern world of social media and texting, what kind of powers would superheroes need to preserve civilization? This is a collection of humorous short stories that takes a lighter look at mighty heroes and their adventures.

A collection of short horror stories straight from the imagination of Darren Griffin. Each story gives you a glimpse into a different realm of fear. Some will haunt you and some may even make you laugh.

In 1983, I first came across self-hypnosis. This was my first glimpse into the vast power of the mind and one of the many tools to unlock its potential. Soon, I began searching for more information about self-hypnosis, the mind, and ways of accessing the amazing resources within us. What I have found is nothing short of awesome and inspiring, it has created an overwhelming sense of reverence inside of me.
