Dreadland Chronicles

A post apocalyptic dark fantasy inspired by Stephen King's Dark Tower series.


Roland Deschain was the last gunslinger, one of these boys will become the first?

Fourteen years ago the dead walked and society crumbled.

Technology stopped working as a new dark age filtered across the land. An age of unrestrained brutality where the only law was the firepower one carried, and the only hope was for a quick death, followed by a dreamless sleep. 

It is into this world they have been born. Four boys who will be drawn together by forces beyond their understanding, to confront a growing evil that threatens to end mankind once and for all.

If you enjoy post-apocalyptic urban fantasy, this series is for you.

"Brutal with a purpose!"Jeanette Andromeda

"All Roads is frankly Stephen King's Stand By Me, with zombies. But not too many. To call this a zombie novel would be a misnomer.First and foremost this is a coming-of-age drama, written by a man with a deft hand for characterization, set within a dystopian backdrop."  Mark Taylor

"No where's safe, no where's secure, except for where these four boys dwell together, intent on their mission, relying on the family ties that they've formed in growing up in the midst of horror." Fairness In Everything

 Shadows of the Past

They have watched from the shadows since the dawn of time.
Jealous gods who once ruled a young planet.
Seeking a return to their former glory.
Only one man stands in their way
.

The alien invasion of the earth has begun, it comes not from the stars, but the shadows of the past. When an ancient alien artifact is stolen to repay a gambling debt, it falls into the wrong hands, and the power it contains is unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. Infected by an alien parasite Jack Griffith who was slowly dying of cancer is given a second chance at life. But will the cost be too high when all that is he, is brushed aside by a presence that views mankind as an infection on the world.

The only thing that can stop him is a brain damaged four year old boy who has the uncanny ability to not only sense his presence, but can disrupt his thoughts with a swirling confusion that throws him back to his most basic instincts.

That child is Detective Sam Hardin's son, the last thing his wife gave him before death claimed her, after they interrupted a robbery in progress. Can he claw his way out of the bottle in time to save his son, and the world? More importantly, can he forgive his son, and himself, for the loss of his wife?

"...a horror-filled ride that left me white-knuckling all the way to the end!"
Charlene Gamble: Literary R&R 
    
"This book will have you sleeping with a nightlight, afraid of the shadows in your closet and under your bed."
Colleen Wanglund:  Horror Fiction Reviews

"A nail-biting, spine-chilling read that will take readers to the edge of their seats! Richard  knows how to crank up the tension and bring out the scary monsters."
