Death Awaits. A fitting title, for that is what awaits you within its pages. Like a blanket sewn from severed flesh, it embraces you with the comfort of congealed blood. Exactly what you would expect from a volume bound in human skin. I remember the symphony of screams as I flayed my victims. My blades are still covered with their gore, but don't worry, I promise they will be clean enough for you to see your own blood decorating them. In the meantime, why don’t you begin reading? I promise that death will be waiting for you when the last page is turned… -Mr Empty

My name is Jesse Duckworth and I primarily write fantasy. A friend and I co-created a world in 2007 and after just over 5 years of creating and writing, I am trying to get some of our works out there for people to read. My debut novella, A Song of Betrayal, was released on Amazon on September 1st, 2013. In addition, I have many short stories that will either end up on here or will be published on other venues. During this time, we created a small publishing company called Harren Press that will market our works. If you want to keep track of what Harren Press is doing, we are on facebook or you can go to our site www.harrenpress.com. If you have a moment, check out the excerpt from A Song of Betrayal and tell me what you think. Every bit of your time is appreciated. Thanks and hope you enjoy.
