Synopsis
In 1936, in Pleasure View Kentucky, a team of construction workers showed up to begin ground work for a small and dismal building known as 'The Lakeside Testing Lab.' The location was an area of forest that festered a family of 'Hillbillies,' that would be 'The Hagger's.' On that momentous day, when the Lab folks met The Hagger's, a feud began that would go on...even in death. By 1980, The Lab had grown to become the monster known as 'XANORSE CHEMICALS INC. In the summer of that year, six teenagers, in an attempt to bury a particularly grisly mishap they'd had, found themselves knee deep in an underground toxic waste pool. Sixteen-year-old Jimmy Hagger discovered the pool too. Ten years later, six young adults and one hillbilly started to...change. And the town of Pleasure View would be brutalized by the attacks of something hideously unnatural.
About the Author
Brad's first Novel, 'THE MELTING' is a Horror story stemming from Vengeance of the Dead. This is a truly original first novel and has been endorsed by Horror veteran ANNE RICE in her statement:
"Brad, Congratulations and all blessings on The Melting. You know the secret; it's courage. We need you and your work."
His second Novel, The Fictional Biography of a Warlock called, 'TROPAES' is the story of a man born in 1822 with certain metaphysical powers that develop with each year of his life. By his 28th birthday, he has acquired full power and ceases to age from that moment on. This story spans his lifetime up to the year 2005.
His third Novel is a non-supernatural murder mystery, called 'DAMEN BRIAR' It is the exposure of the dark and secret life of a man who, with no love loss between him and his estranged mother - were destined to bear responsibility for each other.
In his youth, an attempt to save the life of a classmate, left him brutally beaten and hospitalized. It was there he met his life-long confidant, Mandi Arbor. And when he died, a secret life of torment, revenge, and murder, would unfold.
Brad's fourth book is the compilation of twenty-one of his short stories, the title 'TENDRILS - Creepy & Crawly' pretty well sums up the experience of those stories.
His most recent work is a novel entitled, 'THE DEAD MC' It is the epic story, beginning in 1934, of an Undead Motorcycle Club. This is the first book in a series of three; each book crosses three decades in the un-life and existence of the club - all the love, death, excitement, and horror they carry and leave trails of in the wake of their path.
Brad has also put together an elaborate oversize book of his Poetry and Art, called, 'MOMENTS & CLARITY - Poems, Prose, and Pictures by Brad Rieman', suitable for coffee table display. A stunningly beautiful book with nearly two hundred works of writing, and nearly another fifty in paintings, sketches and art.
