Stinky Little Demons



     I was finally able to upload an eBook on Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) of Amazon last month. The book, entitled Stinky Little Demons: A Collection of Short Horror Stories, is a compilation of (unpublished) short horror stories I’ve written all over the years that have been gathering digital dusts inside my computer. I thought KDP would be a better place for them. I’ve added some of the stories I’ve written from this blog. I revised all the stories, updated them, refurbished them, rewrote them, edited them, beta read them and proofread them. I was a one-man band, yes. That happens when you’ve got no friends. 

     The book contains twenty English short horror stories and has 212 pages. Last time I checked, it has sold a miniscule number of copies and has garnered some KENP pages read (Kindle Unlimited allows members to borrow and read, not buy, books they fancy). KENP stands for Kindle Edition Normalized Pages. Pages read have royalties; you only need to have tons of it to earn a decent amount of money. This week, I put my book in promo and slashed the price for several days, so it would probably sell a few copies more. I also have plans of giving it away for free for a number of days. It has no reviews yet and it would definitely be nice to have some. I read a naughty article advising writers to hire people to write awesome reviews on your book, but I think it will be dishonest and might backfire. I want honest reviews; I don’t care if it would shred my book to pieces. Maybe, in the future, when I already have some money to pay for pseudo-reviewers. Lol.

     Anyway, I’m compiling my second book of horror stories (my computer’s hard drive has enough stories for another compilation) and after that, I’d possibly compile the non-horror stories I’ve written for this blog, or translate, rewrite, revise, expand and refurbish some Tagalog books I’ve written into English.

     If you're a Kindle Unlimited member and you miraculously found this blog entry, and you've got a thing for horror stories, you may want to check out, no, I'm begging you, check my book out.

Things You Are Not Allowed To Do During Holy Week (Or So They Say)

Image
       Today is Holy Tuesday, three days away from Good Friday. For many, this is the week to be holy (pun intended). The week for an individual to repent or show how good a christian he is. Ask a priest or any religious person  and they will most likely tell you that the following things are not allowed this week(especially on Good Friday and Black Saturday):        Gorging        Meat        Sex        Porn        Cursing        Vices        Loud music        R-Rated films        Dirty thoughts        Singing (loud music)        Dancing (to loud music)        Bathing (just kidding, it is allowed, of course)        Some acquiesce to this and act all haloed the whole week—then break it when the week’s over. But many will ignore it and go to Boracay and dance naked at the beach while the dolphins watch.   (Okay, there are no dolphins in Boracay and people watch dolphins, not the other way around.)        Our family stays quiet   and shuns meat and

Wait For Her (The Song And The Poem)

Image
       “Wait For Her,” a ballad from Roger Waters’ new album, Is This The Life We Really Want, was inspired from the following poem by Palestinian poet and writer Mahmoud Darwish.  Mr. Waters set melody to it, tweaked some words and the result, a hauntingly smart love song. Lesson From The Kama Sutra (Wait For Her) By Mahmoud Darwish (Translation by Dr. Fayeq Oweis) With a glass inlaid with gemstones, wait for her   on a pool around the evening and among the perfumed roses, wait for her… with the patience of a horse destined for the slopes of the mountains, wait for her… with a distinctive aesthetic taste of a prince, wait for her… with seven pillows stuffed with light clouds, wait for her… with the fire of women incense filling the place, wait for her… with the scent of a male sandals on horseback, wait for her… and do not rush it, if she arrives late then wait for her… and if she arrives early, wait for her… do

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f
