October 31st, 1981. The morning was quiet; it seemed no different from any other morning. A Grey Ford shipping truck rumbled through the suburbs of Portland Oregon—with its single delivery. The vehicle seemed no different from any of the other trucks on the road; its cargo would have passed any inspection as ordinary. Looks could be deceiving. Everyone is getting ready for the Halloween party at Jerry's Arcade. It's been the night the neighborhood kids have been waiting for. It's been the night the college kids have been waiting for. It's been the night they have been waiting for. There's a new machine being delivered to the arcade: it's ready, it's waiting, it's killer. Polybius. It's going to be game over... for everyone.

David Irons was the kid who went to his room to watch and read horror when his relatives came round. It paid off. When he left his room, he became an award-winning filmmaker and writer living on the south coast of England. His films, colourful and stylish in design, have won awards at the Cambridge Film festival, Las Vegas VIFF festival, and LA Independent Festival for cinematography, editing, writing, and directing. '7 Winters Alone' - a sci-fi, horror short - was a winner in David Lynch's 2014 Short Film Competition. In 2019 David had his first novel, Night Waves, published, followed by Night Creepers, Polybius, and The Bloody Tracks of Bigfoot in 2020 - 2021 from Severed Press. Since then, David has become a Splatterpunk award-nominated writer for his '80s summer camp slasher, 'Don't Go To Wheelchair Camp.' The moral of this story is to be weird and stay in your room. It pays off in the end.
