The Tastiest Transgender Fish in the Sea
In each hand, she held a fish by the gills. One was a small shark, the other some sort of fish with a white chin and fangs. I swallowed a couple of times before I could speak. “Been fishing?” “My…

Dean Koontz, Demelza Carlton and Stephen King
It’s not a likely listing – especially with me in the middle of those two highly successful horror suspense authors, but it happened. On Amazon’s Top 100 Bestseller List. In real life. I could be cryptic and incoherent (admittedly, I…
