Introduction by Nicholas Grabowsky

Author of Halloween IV and Everborn.

What you hold in your hands is a collection of works spawned by a particularly talented group of horror writers. Some of them you might've heard of, some you haven't. Eventually, in time, as a reader of this sort of genre, you'll notice each of their names resurface here and there, in very grand ways I might add, over a short season after you've read this book thoroughly and set it down before bedtime and after the nightmares inspired by the visions herein have left a reasonably sizeable scar on your psyche, and the names of those responsible for those nightmares that this book has left with you will haunt you forever. I'm talking talent here. Talent enough to scar that psyche, talent enough to make you remember these writers' names and the stories they have to tell.

Embark to Madness was started as an online web group by Lee Pletzers, an accomplished horror novelist in his own right, and the group has attracted an assortment of ambitious personalities that can be heard as a combined voice only here, amongst these pages. As the genre of horror ebbs and flows throughout the years on bookstore shelves, this anthology is proof that there exists among us a culture of serious writers that have within them the power to bring the entire ravenous beast that is horror literature back in full swing, for all to read and all to read in awe.

I dare you to take a look, take a visit to George Raymond's house or the Whisper Tide Inn or a haunted hotel. Beware of the Dust Creatures, demons disguised as priests, or an eerie soul selling special watches. Feel the need for human hearts besides your own? Cheating on your wife, perhaps? Find a dead baby in the trash? A serial killer who thinks he's Dracula? Imagine a girl who doesn't exist, and you have to look for her. Can't get over the death of your dog? Too bad. Have to get a hold of someone who has the answer to all your problems but just can't reach him? Terribly twisted tales, and these are just a taste of what's in store.

Now, the thing is, I know you'll enjoy these tidbits of the darkly fantastic. But after the enjoyment wears off, the black dreams will begin to truly attack, and for that these writers offer no life insurance, no back door, no way to erase what you've already read. You're stuck with the visions, may find yourself reciting them to your grandchildren in years to come, once they've come of age and can take it.

That all said, I bid you welcome, and hope you don't lose your footing as you Embark to Madness.
