Beyond the Obscure

This book was creepy and spooky and the visuals are amazing. It has the feel of psychological thriller mixed with a ghost story and then jammed into a cult story with demons. You never know what’s around the corner and if you’re like me you won’t be able to put the book down. I read it all in one sitting. So if you want a good quick horror read this as it will give you chills and thrills.-Amazon Review

Beyond the Obscure

Beyond the Obscure is a novella about the Foresters, a broken family in a fictional setting that is loosely inspired by the 1940’s-1950s’. In those tough times, almost everyone is reeling from a collapsed economy and the ensuing recession.

After being abandoned and partially robbed by his wife Sarah, Alex becomes a single parent of his daughter Amy. He is joined by his lover and celebrity Karen Hirst and the detective Rick Savaglio on his quest to recover a stolen heirloom. Together, they pursue Sarah to Wither Falls, a supposedly abandoned, shady and mysterious city that holds the answers to their questions.

However, they soon encounter multiple obstacles far greater and more complex than they bargained for.

?I have a substantial amount of international culture experience, moving often from country to country to either study there and/or work. Knowledge gained on those travels has allowed me to analyze and study people in great detail and construct psychological profiles. These details, in addition to real life experiences, add new nuances to the works.

?Music and gaming have always played a huge role in my creative work and influences include Depeche Mode, Before the Dawn, ???? (Kino), ????????? ???????????? (Smisloviye Galusinatsii), Rammstein, Kamelot etc… Video games with a strong emphasis on storytelling such as Mass Effect, Final Fantasy IV, VI and IX as well as Chrono Trigger are some of my favorites.

?I consider myself an idealist, realist and a secular humanist philosopher. When I’m not too busy writing, making or editing videos, I am most likely busy studying online courses mostly but not exclusively related to science, i.e. Climate Change, Evolutionary Biology, Astrophysics etc…
