When my children were little I told them bedtime stories most every night. One evening I created the characters Hatty and Barty and told them a story about these new fictional characters. Both of my children loved this story so much that from that night forward they would only let me tell them stories about Hatty and Barty. I told these Hatty and Barty stories for several years. It was quite a stretch to my creativity after a while to keep coming up with new ideas and story subject matter but somehow I always managed to do so and I always enjoyed telling them.Sometimes when I was tired, I would get to the crucial point in the story and then tell my children "to be continued". Their response would be "No Dad! Finish the story!" Usually I wouldn't relent and then the next night sometimes I would forget the story I had started the night before and this would create greater consternation.

Critical Praise "...a graphic, detailed, haunting and complex story of artificial intelligence, alien invasion, human nature in opposition to everything around us, and the obliviousness of mankind..." - 4.5 Stars / Reading Cafe "Tension building was wonderfully done and was very 'edge of your seat'. The author has a good sense of humour, which can also be quite dark at times, helping to lighten otherwise tense moments throughout the story. An intriguing and well executed supernatural thriller." - Five Stars / Bookish Beyond InspirationI write science fiction and Arachniss is absolutely science fiction, but like Alien there's also a good deal of horror and a lot about human--and inhuman--dysfunction. Is there deeper meaning to it? Probably. I mean, I hope so. In Babadook, the monster is depression. In Jacob's Ladder, it's PTSD and addiction. The Ring, I assume if there is a metaphor, it's about the destructive power of television. Night of the Living Dead is immigration and change. Zombie's generally represent the dangers of group think and the numbing sameness of modern life, never more so than in Shaun of the Dead. In King Kong, it's the modern world vs. nature and of course racism. In Get Out, it's white supremacy. Godzilla: nuclear war. Vampires: sex and sexuality. Frankenstein's monster: modern science. Werewolves: puberty and sexual awakening. Grendel: pride. Perhaps in Arachniss, it's our willingness to accept horror for others to protect ourselves, and our ability to ignore it if it comes on slowly. We are all the frog in the initially comfortable pot of heating water, and we are all oblivious to what's coming...
