Ashley Butler, a prize winning journalist at the San Diego Times receives an email from a man who claims to have discovered immortality by turning off the aging gene in a 15 year old boy with an aging disorder. The email has pictures showing a reversal of the aging process and the names of a scientist and a company to investigate. Thinking it a hoax, she forwards the email to friends. Though skeptical, she calls to investigate and gets a no longer in service message. When she leaves her office she overhears a news story about the death of the scientist mentioned in the email. Ashley checks out the company mentioned in the email and discovers a gutted building. At the deceased scientist’s address she has a confrontation with an unfriendly federal investigator. Returning to her office she finds him, subpoena in hand, confiscating her computer. He tells her that the scientist who sent the email is a killer that they need help catching. When her own investigators do more checking, none of them return. The forwarded email becomes the basis for an online church built around the boy, calling him the CyberChrist. The church claims that the Internet is the physical manifestation of the group mind of humanity and the boy is the second coming of Christ online. The federal government tries to shut down the church, but its website replicates faster than they can stop it. While church and state battle over religious freedom online, the media and the state battle over freedom of speech. Ashley battles to stay alive. Show less

"Bravo! More!" from Ray Bradbury for Matthew J. Pallamary's short stories. A Short Walk to the Other Side is a second short story collection of supernatural, metaphysical, science fiction, and horror stories following "The Small Dark Room of the Soul" by multiple award winning author Matthew J. Pallamary, which examines the shadow side of human nature. Who are we really? What or where are the boundaries between what we believe to be real and what we imagine? Ancient tribal cultures gave equal credence to dreams, visions, and their waking worlds, treating them all as different degrees of one and the same all-encompassing reality. Do we in fact know ourselves or our true nature? Where do we really live? How well do we know our shadows as individuals and collectively? Better still, how well do our shadows know us? One moment of careless passion can leave you responsible for another life or bring the imminent end of your own from any number of ghastly diseases. A brief moment of passionate anger can land you in prison for the rest of your time on this earthly plane. What doors do we pass through when we choose and what are the consequences of our actions? Better still, where do they leave us? Coincidences, synergistic moments, timing, attitude, emotion, and attention can all change in the span of a single breath.

How much does it take to send us over the edge?

The truth is that it is a lot shorter walk to the other side than we like to think. Show less

The life-transforming revelations of The Infinity Zone have been discovered in nature, animals, birds, insects, music, physics, martial arts, astronomy, dance, fitness, physical therapy, sports, throughout history and in ancient cultures. Recently found to improve mental abilities, including autism and depression, The Infinity Zone principles are all around us and hidden within us, because they are the secret architecture for all life – the DNA molecule.

Once you read this book, you may never look at the world the same again.

Based on the proven philosophical studies of Einstein, Steiner and other brilliant minds, and packed with photos, illustrations, diagrams, formulas and e-book active links, The Infinity Zone is an easy, fun, contemporary approach to mastering your mental and physical abilities on all levels.

In this book, you'll learn how to use The Infinity Zone to achieve peak performance with your body, mind and spirit. Be calmer, focused, physically more powerful, fit, balanced, confident, happier, increase your awareness and mental abilities – learn to master your life.

Mayberry says, “You’ll learn how to tap into your hidden energy and power through easy tools and movements that align a grounded center point, create balance, focus, mental clarity, coordination, as they pull energy from the legs, through the core out to the arms, delivering maximum power efficiently.”

Pallamary concludes, “The Infinity Zone supports Einstein’s observation that we are all connected through this architecture of a grand physical and energetic design. If you master your energy, you master your life. The Infinity Zone proves that.” Show less

There can be no light without darkness.
The sun cannot rise without night preceding it, and the setting sun of the day must inevitably fade to black. If life were all sunshine and roses, there would be no contrast. Perpetual sunshine would be both blinding and devastating. We need the darkness. It is an integral part of the whole.

There can be no light without darkness.
The sun cannot rise without night preceding it, and the setting sun of the day must inevitably fade to black. If life were all sunshine and roses, there would be no contrast. Perpetual sunshine would be both blinding and devastating. We need the darkness. It is an integral part of the whole.
Part of us.
Horror stories are a reflection of our darker side. In an age of very real terrors like A.I.D.S., cancer, and terrorism, stories that frighten us can perform a useful function by allowing readers to live out and experience fear in a controlled fashion and deal with horror on their own terms. If it gets to be too much, they can always close the book and put it away. Experiencing horror in this way works as an anxiety release because it is a tangible way to deal with and escape the terrors of modern living...
Through the ages, countless spiritual disciplines have urged us to look within ourselves and seek the truth. Part of that truth resides in a small, dark room -- one we are afraid to enter.
If we can only push aside the dark door of fear that holds us at bay and rescue the part of our souls that cringes in the dark, we might come to a better understanding of what makes us tick.
The Small Dark Room of the Soul and Other Stories is a collection of fourteen short horror stories -- and all the monsters are human...
Do you dare peer into the dark mirror of our collective soul?
