    15 Tales of Darkness Lie Within this Thrilling Collection of Horrific Adventure

    The Magic Man comes when you least expect him. Give him what he wants and he’ll grant you your heart’s desire, but are you prepared to pay the price?

    A mother of two is en route to take her kids to the babysitter’s when darkness envelops her car and covers the world in blacks and grays.

    No matter how many times Sharon tries to beat the Spinning Room, someone always dies, unless she can find a way to conquer this tower of terror once and for all.

    Jimmy learns plenty about his life when he encounters an evil version of himself in his car’s rearview mirror.

    A trip out to the family cabin is not what it seems and cigarette-loving Robert is granted the chill of his life.

    It’s dinner at the Michaels’ Estate and Terrance Michaels must face the truth of what goes on beneath his house’s roof.

    Father Haldo has heard every sin imaginable. He just wasn’t prepared to enter Booth 2 for this particular round of confessions.

    Imagine waking up surrounded by damp soil only to find yourself in a room with half-buried bodies, faces sticking out from the dirt, and mysterious creatures called Benders. That’s exactly what happens to Gary Smith when he finds himself in a place under the earth.

    Bernie Calhoun knows nightmares, and the one he had about the Man in the Woods when he was a boy still haunts him to this day. To make matters worse, he realizes he might have brought something back with him into the real world long ago.

    These tales and more await you within.

    Gathering material spanning a decade, A.P. Fuchs shares his nightmares.

  • Why I Post What I Do – Author Blogs

    Author Blogs

    Many author blogs or websites are just about that: writing and books.

    Which is 100% fine. I used to do it. Many others I know still do it. But do you see that site banner up there? It says three things: Writer, Artist, Creator. And it’s the latter part that explains why I don’t just post about books and comics (as awesome as those are).

    I’ve talked about it before and I’ll mention it again, this site is about the long game in my creator/creative journey. It’s a showcase of the various crafts I practice. It’s also an information and entertainment source for you.

    Why the hotwheels? Why the Funko Pops!? Why the action figures and playing cards? Because the film medium is something I also enjoy. My skillset might not be top-notch (most of what I do behind the scenes is based off what I learned in high school multimedia class 25 years ago . . . and it still works).

    These creations and showcases are meant to compliment the books and comics and show that those things are made by a fan for the fans.

    Some stumbles across one of my posts via a search engine and soon they are whisked into a realm of heroes and monsters and fandom entertainment. Author blogs can be more than just books and writing, if you want.

    It’s that simple.

    Like I always say, there’s a method to the madness.

    So on Friday night, I decided to experiment with YouTube’s live stream feature. I’ve never used it before so hopped on the app and poked at some of the buttons to see what did what and what the interface looks like. Things seemed simple enough and we were able to get things going. To make the video interesting outside of me yapping at the camera and pushing buttons, I gave a brief tour of my home library along with some of the collectibles cluttering the shelf.

    The plan is to revamp the studio for 2024 and all those collectibles like Funko Pops! etc. that require a shelf for display will be moved into the studio and current swathe of action figures covering the studio walls will be replaced with some new ones along with the shelving.

    I also plan to do some other cool things with the studio when redecorating and I’ll share them with you when I do a 2024 Studio Tour video. Here’s the 2023 Studio Tour.

    Anyway, this was the live stream and bookshelf tour. I plan to do more but one thing at a time.

    Be sure to subscribe for pop culture and book and comic goodness!

    And there’s no escape. Not from under this big top.

  • A Red Dark Night: A Novel of Blood, Gore and Terror Book Spotlight

    A Red Dark Night: A Novel of Blood, Gore and Terror Book Spotlight

    A Red Dark Night title card thumbnail

    “Fuchs is an exceptionally fluid writer with a keen inventiveness and proficiency sadly lacking in the works of many writers of today.” – Nicholas Grabowsky, author of Halloween IV and The Everborn

    Many summers ago, an evil presence known as a Bloodan visited Camp Silverway, a peaceful summer camp for teenage girls, and nearly killed a young girl named Shelly. Mary Thompson, a girl on a bunk bed near Shelly, watched as the creature made from blood and darkness, began to sink into Shelly and begin to feed.

    Through tears and cloudy vision, she also saw her friend rescued by a stranger in a black cape, with blue fire blasting from his hand.

    Never forgetting that night, Mary was tormented for years by the memory of what she saw, and now, twenty-two years later, she has returned to Camp Silverway as a camp counselor, trying to face her fear.

    However, what starts out as a fun summer soon comes to an end when not one, but several Bloodans return to the camp and begin killing again. As before, the man in the black cape, Tarek, reappears, yet he hasn’t aged a day since he rescued Shelly long ago.

    Shock upon shock ensues as Mary learns not only where the creatures and her hero come from, but also when. The Bloodans enclose the camp in a liquid red dome made of blood, and as everyone around her gets killed and the monsters multiply, Mary, her friend Sarah, and Tarek are left with no place to go.

    Except for maybe one.

  • April: A Love Story Book Spotlight

    April: A Love Story Book Spotlight

    April A Love Story title card thumbnail

    Some moments come along and your world—your life—changes. Something shifts inside and everything’s the same yet somehow different. Sometimes someone comes into your life and helps you to breathe for the first time, to think with clarity and to give you truth and joy.

    Often, we never see it coming. But it also happens when we need it the most and, usually, when we don’t realize we need it.

    For Joseph Bailey, life has come to a standstill; existence, living, call it what you will, have stopped moving, stopped flowing, stopped growing. Those he knew while growing up seemed to have gone down the right path, creating a so-called normal life. He’s not sure if he followed.

    Spending lonely nights writing comic book scripts and hazy afternoons watching cartoons brings him to his knees, and he needs something—maybe even someone—more. One Friday, while at a coffee shop working on a new comic script, Joseph is interrupted when a quirky girl with long black hair and smooth-as-marble gray eyes sits down across from him, seeking sanctuary from her controlling boyfriend, Dan.

    Her name is April.

    All seems under control even when Dan follows her in to the coffee shop, looking to patch things up. At least, that’s what was supposed to have happened. Once Dan leaves, Joseph figures his work is done and April will be on her way, never to be seen again. Instead, she stays, removes her sweater and orders an apple cider. Just then something slips inside Joseph, something good, right and pure.

    Their weekend begins.

    From a quiet night in an old railway car to seeking the undertones of humanity at the art gallery, to bringing to light the tender commonalities that we as humans share, April is a story of how a simple chance meeting can hold you and protect you, and give you what the human heart is continuously after—

    Hope.

  • Blast from the Past: Axiom-man/Auroraman Frozen Storm Lettered Edition Unboxing

    Axiom-man/Auroraman Frozen Storm Lettered Edition Unboxing

    Frozen Storm title card thumbnail

    Let’s travel back in time to my first YouTube video when I relaunched the channel in September of 2019. I had a channel prior to that but had minimal content. Nothing as vast as it is now.

    But hey, we grow and things take time. This unboxing video is special because the box contains the first arrival of the Special Limited Hardcover Edition of AXIOM-MAN/AURORAMAN: FROZEN STORM straight from the printer.

    This book is almost sold out and is the ONLY limited edition (especially lettered) superhero novel on the market.

    Be a part of history. Check out the video then check out the book. Yes, a little pricey, but only 26 copies of these guys exist on Planet Earth. That’s it. Signed by both authors.
