In a chilling Halloween tale, Devon Hand finds himself imprisoned and hanging from a gibbet, branded as a witch, and left to die under the watchful gaze of an impatient raven. As he battles thirst, pain, and the weight of a grim destiny, a twist of fate gives him a new perspective—one that takes him on a spectral journey. Bound by love, and a promise to protect, Devon embarks on a mission beyond the grave.

I’ve been an author of Speculative Fiction since June of 2008 (I start the clock then because that was when I completed my first story.) Since then I have written and indie-published a novel (“Swordsmaster”), nineteen collections, and over ninety short speculative fictions – four of which (“Purr Mission”, “Breathing Is Overrated”, “Date Night”, and "Two Buttons to Eternity") received Honorable Mentions and one ("The View From My Cage is Breathtaking") a Silver Honorable Mention in the Writers of the Future contest. I’ve been published on Daily Science Fiction, and my stories are available through Amazon Kindle Direct (http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B008O8CBDY), Smashwords (https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/NoTimeToThink), and Smashwords’ affiliates. I have maintained a WordPress blog (https://williammangieri.wordpress.com/) for several years, and operate on a current posting schedule of three days per week (Meandering Monday, Writing Wednesday, and Fractured Fragment Friday.)
