by Gary Fry
“They’re out there, Daddy,” she says, her voice little more than an exhalation of awe and fear. “I know they are. But I can’t speak too loudly. They might hear and come visiting again.”
I look at the stars, and think about my daughter’s role as the true siren of depravity. Then, holding back tears, I move reluctantly away to where my wife lies waiting in our bedroom, her back turned to me.
I cry almost every night, and often dream about terrible creatures, still scattered across this vulnerable planet, waiting to rise and make monsters of us all.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Gary Fry lives in Dracula’s Whitby, literally around the corner from where Bram Stoker was staying when he was thinking about that character. Gary has a PhD in psychology, but his first love is literature. He is the author of many short story collections, novellas and novels. He was the first author in PS Publishing’s Showcase series, and none other than Ramsey Campbell has described him as “a master.” Gary warmly welcomes all to his web presence: www.gary-fry.com.
