Writer's Retreat
Tales of Writing and Madness

No one said being a writer was easy. In fact, there's so much more to fear than simply writer's block or misspelled words. Tales of impostor syndrome, misplaced manuscripts, false hopes, thievery and much more...

​

An amateur writer visited by the deceased spirits of his idols. A fanatic stalking his favorite author to dangerous heights. A comic enthusiast trapped in hell who must follow an unforgiving deadline schedule. A woman grappling with the dangerous specters of rejection. A scholar tracking down the secrets of a mystical poet. A lyricist making a deal with the devil to write new songs.

​

Malevolent typewriters, method writing, shadow spirits, half-dead darlings, envious fans, sinister reviewers, getaway writing competitions, and many other tales within this collection will teach readers all about the dark, twisted nature behind the creative process.
