Pitch Black

By Steven J. Conifer

In the award-winning* tale "Process of Elimination," an eccentric writer takes drastic measures to cure a bad case of writer's block.In "The Lift," Anthony Sykes faces a choice between loyalty to the Mob and personal freedom. In "Levinson Road," Hugh Cummings finds himself trapped in a time-loop, marooned on a country road in the dead of night. A small, frightened boy on the side of the road may be his only source of clues, and his only way off the never-ending road. In "On a Covered Bridge," a young boy learns an ugly truth about a stranger he encounters while fishing - and worries he may become the stranger's next victim.

Firmly rooted in the tradition of psychological suspense, most of the stories gathered in this ample collection focus on a lone protagonist at war with his own mind. PITCH BLACK is Hitchcock meets THE TWILIGHT ZONE meets Stephen King, all with its own unique blend of terror. * 1st Honorable Mention, Sci-Fi/Horror Category, 2012 WV Writers Competition
