Wee, Wicked Whispers Stephen Donald Huff

Calamity often follows a violent shout, but we have more to fear from the occasional wee, wicked whisper. This is the medium of humanity's most despicable tongue, for a quick whisper is the requisite mode of lies, the self-serving gloat of torment, the insidious confidence of slander, and the preferred protocol of psychosis. Lovers reveal their most intimate and personal secrets on a breathless hiss, while murderous psychopaths use the same hushed voice to lure intended victims. Listen to the wicked whispers of vain success in "Ravenous Is the Void" and "She Comes, the Devil". Voyage into the surreal with "Eidetic", "The Machine's Manifesto", "Ed? Is That You?", "The Wrong Side of Backwards", "Paw Paw Conjures", and "We are for Texas". Satisfy your science fiction 'sweet tooth' with "The Violent Kind", "Emerald Planet", "The Hole", "Long Is the Journey, Short Is the Sojourn" and "Zu-Zu's Petals", before you travel into the past through "Toltaca" and "Forever Comes the Storm". When you catch your breath, try to shake off the chills emanating from "The House Next Door", "Scraps", "Mortimer's Last Race", "Shit", "The Disturbing Case of: Rain", "A Working Man", "Through the Meadows Go", "Jo-Jo's Big Day", "Vengeance Is Mine", and "Black River".
