‘The White Lily Escapees’ by Horror Author J.A. Steckling

Writing

The White Lily Institute for Psychological Research wanted to know if you could create monsters using people with a genetic predisposition to violence but that had never shown violent tendencies. They believed that if you could make monsters out of ordinary people, you could just as easily un-make them, undoing …

J.A. Steckling: Exciting Writing Projects in the Works

Writing
  1. Themed Collections (October = Halloween; November = Harvest; December = Giving)
    • Themed collections include ~25 themed poems and at least 2 short stories
    • The Terror Season started it all on 10/1/21 and is complete. It will be self-published by September, 2022. It includes a number of spooky poems and tales that relate to murder, monsters, ghosts, and mayhem.
    • The Harvest Season began 11/1/21 and is nearly complete. It will be self-published in October, 2022, in preparation for our own harvest feasts. It will include two tales of the harvest season.
    • The Giving Season began 12/1/21 and will be self-published by November, 2022. It includes two tales of holiday terror and themed poetry.
    • The Transformation Season begins 1/1/22 and the themes include rebirth, reincarnation, transformation, self-improvement, lifestyle changes, and more (in the scariest way you didn’t know you needed).
  2. The Legend of Samhain
    • Samhain, or Sam Hain, is the lord of the spirit world. He helps spirits decide if they want to go into the light or resolve unfinished business. As punishment for some transgressions, a piece of his soul is placed in the mortal world, which he only has access to one night a year – Halloween. When Sam finds his missing piece, he must make his soul whole again before using his full strength to force the world to remember the true meaning behind our modern Halloween traditions. This story is in-progress and publication date is still a mystery. I will be providing regular updates as it draws nearer to completion. It may be submitted for publication or self-published.
  3. Heartbroken & Homicidal
    • A short story collection that explores the relationship between love and horror. Broken hearts will bleed all over the ones who broke them. It includes five short stories and some poetry. It is still in-progress. Publication date is to be determined, it may be submitted for publication or self-published once it is complete.

NOTE:


These writings are all designed to be dark and disturbing. The collections are designed to give my morbid readers small, bite-sized horror experiences. My longer works are meant to take them on an action-packed journey full of violence and danger.


If abduction, torture, murder, psychopaths, evil creatures, evil spirits, or senseless acts of violence bother you, then you will likely do better to avoid my horror projects. All published works will contain content warnings, but proceed with caution if you are sensitive.
