In a delicious horror novella hearkening back to Edgar Allan Poe’s The Pit And The Pendulum, Avery Moore, a good-hearted man working as an attorney, wakes up to find himself in a stark white room, naked, bound to a table, and his lips sewn shut. The nightmare becomes a terrifying reality as he realizes that he’s being used as an unwilling blood donor to keep a sociopathic physician alive, while the man’s psychotic and sexually deranged sister delivers unspeakable cruelty with each of her torturous visits. As Avery endures the endless torment, only one thing keeps his sanity from slipping away entirely: the hope, vain that it might be, that he can somehow escape before the life has literally been drained from his body…

Born in 1963, Michael Hicks grew up in the age of the Apollo program and spent his youth glued to the television watching the original Star Trek series and other science fiction movies, which continues to be a source of entertainment and inspiration. Having spent the majority of his life as a voracious reader, he has been heavily influenced by writers ranging from Robert Heinlein to David Weber, and many in between. Living in Maryland with his beautiful wife, two wonderful stepsons and two mischievous Siberian cats, he left his government career job and now writes full-time.
