Not sure your stomach is strong enough to handle deep horror and gore? Then Welcome Despair is just up your alley. A collection of short stories that lets you dip one foot into the cold shallow end and make you shiver.
Children on a ravaged planet are abducted by the enemy and learn just how strong they can be.

One soul is chased into a dark plane of existence with no signs of escape.
And, a jaded reporter interviews the leader of a prominent new neighborhood.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Maquel A. Jacob (MAJ), is a writer of Gender Shifter Social Sci-Fi with a bit of romance, a touch of gore and much more. Growing up on B rated horror flicks, Star Wars and Harlequin books gave her the idea to blend genres; keeping things more interesting. At the tender age of twelve, she encountered her first Stephen King novel, then moved on to the darker stuff: Clive Barker.

Originally from the Windy City of Chicago, MAJ has been to half the United States, mostly by bus and train. She looks forward to seeing the rest before delving into foreign countries. Writing was always an escape from the harsh streets of the inner city and served her well.

There was a two year stint at The Art Institute studying digital film and video and cosmetology school where she became a certified nail technician. Her passion stems from always wanting to learn new things, because knowledge is power. Words can hold so much meaning and convey the wide spectrum of humanity.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fans of Tales of the Crypt will love this!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2016
    The blurb says, "this collection of shorts that lets you dip one foot into the shallow end of horror."

    I would agree with that assessment. These stories are suspenseful, but only a few delve deeply into horror. Think Tales of the Crypt or Creepshow on the level of horror. However, in one topic, I would say Jacob definitely is fully into horror side of things. She pulls no punches is she explores sexual horror in 4 out of the 5 stories. There are no happy endings.

    FYI: This is not a spoiler, it literally says this on the back of the book.

    Her use of language is quite straightforward. There was a few minor typos, but nothing that pulled me out of the story.

    I would recommend this book for fans of Tales of the Crypt or Creepshow who aren't upset by reading sexual horror.
