ALL BETS ARE OFFRed has tried to keep his nose clean but the sins of his past still haunt him. They’ve forced him back into the darkness—toward a life he’d hoped to leave behind. Now he has just four days to make things right. The scam seemed safe enough at first, but now Red is six figures in debt, and there's more than just money at stake. There's making things right with the daughter he turned his back on. There's greasing the palms of the disturbed criminals holding his geriatric mother as collateral. There's being able to face himself in the mirror. Everyone in the city's underbelly knows there’s only one way to obtain such a large sum on short notice... Shadows is an underground casino where nightmares are born and dreams go to die. Where humiliation, drugs, and violence are as much a part of the games as cards and dice. When Red enters a world where money isn’t the most coveted prize, will he earn enough to solve his problems, or suffer the ultimate loss? This volume contains 17 interior illustrations. This book contains graphic content. Reader discretion is advised.
Author
Aron was born in Central Falls, Rhode Island. He's been writing horror since the 6th grade when his parents discovered a short story titled "Zombie Child" wedged in the back pocket of his dirty acid-washed jeans. It was about a teenager who couldn't score the girl of his dreams in life so he decided to kill her and impregnate her corpse... You can imagine where it goes from there. Needless to say, his parents were not thrilled by this tale and rather than acknowledging his creative genius suspected he might be a budding serial killer. Regardless of what he did in his life, horror always followed him. After pursuing careers (which ultimately failed) in music, filmmaking, and full-time drug use, he eventually circled back to his bloody bread and butter: writing highly disturbing and bizarre material that tends to explore the human potential for evil. After tooling around for decades, he's finally started publishing his work (to the applause of a handful of deranged perverts). He also contributes to the Evil Examined Podcast where he explores the most strange and horrifying events in the history of humanity with his lady and friends. He emits a Manson-esque charm through the pathetic platform, peddling his works of smut and violence to any goon willing to listen. When you enter his realm, be prepared to embrace the ugly and FEEL THE SPLATTER!
