5 more days. Locate the exits. Not that it will help.

To the priest, hiding in his dark cubicle, it sounds as if the devil himself has entered his church. He looks to Jesus, nailed to his wee cross and gazing pensively down from the wall. Jesus averts his gaze.

The countdown has hit day 6 for the story of a man who can't be fixed.

The last thing Jack hears is DeRon's voice, still kind, still gentle. 'You killed my dog. His name was Babyface. I just think you should know.' Then, it's lights out.

Finally going to try to organize all the old storage files from my filmmaking days. Just realized there’s more in the basement.

7 more days until the official release.

The old woman has her hand inside the purse clutched to her chest. She swivels her head back and forth in an attempt to keep tabs on both of them. '.45 Magnum. Put a hole in you big as a damn pie plate.'

Victor realizes it's the sound of a drill. His mind reels in horror as the helix-shaped cutting edge of titanium and tungsten carbide bites into his flesh. He can feel each individual twist and channel in the rotating bit as it is driven into his skull.

“I heard there was a 21 gun salute when they planted your old man, him being a Vietnam vet and all.” The detective delivers the punch line with a grin. “Only, way I heard it, they were all pointing their guns at the casket. Just to make sure.”

Celso Hurtado, author of Ghost Tracks.

O'Keefe expertly weaves a suspenseful, propulsive tale set in the haunted streets of late 90s Detroit. Violent criminals, a demented surgeon, and a love-sick monster collide in this absorbing, thoughtful reimagining of Frankenstein.

The 10 day countdown starts today.

Counted With the Dead is not for the faint of heart. The story is dark, violent, offensive and funny. In the words of Dasa Drndic, “Art should shock, hurt, offend, intrigue, be a merciless critic…” Mission accomplished.

I’ve always said it’s a bonus if a story can make me laugh. In Peter O'Keefe’s story, one that is more than it appears, he does it more than twice. Great stuff.
