    Author

    Chris Mentillo

    Award-winning, and best-selling horror author, Chris Mentillo recounts bone-chilling horror tales of, first-hand weird and bizarre encounters. Confronted repeatedly by ghastly, disturbing dreams, monstrous shadows of things to become, and many more frightening events, Chris Mentillo is changed forever when brought back into real-life events, only to find himself experiencing the horrors of what came to pass of people’s deaths.  Sometimes driven there to stop a horrific event from taking place, or there for other unknown reasons. Nevertheless, the horrors never seize to end from deep inside these pictures of real nightmares.   Now for the very first time ever, never published: Nightmares of A Horror Author – Beyond Dreams; chronicles the true stories of a horror author’s terrifying encounters with the dark side. Obliterated, "Everything is About to Change" is part of these thrilling events.

      This is a work of fiction. It stems strictly from the mind of the author, so any resemblance to any real person is strictly coincidental. Writers draw from their memories, so characters are usually either composites of people the author has known or based upon specific people; however, the characters, despite the life they can and often do achieve within the story, are just figments of the author’s imagination and nothing more.

      I was only around sixteen years old when the incident occurred which

      has thrown a dark shadow over my unfortunate life; and, ah ... how fast

      the weary year’s have dragged by since! Young, happy, and beloved I

      was in those long-departed days, and many boasted of how beautiful I was.

      Now at this very moment, my mirror now reflects a haggard old woman,

      with ashen lips and face of deadly pallor. But do not fancy that you are listening to

      a mere pulling lament. It is not the flight of years that has

      brought me to be this wreck of my former self: had it been so I

      could have borne the loss cheerfully, patiently, as the common lot

      of all; but it was no natural progress of decay which has robbed me

      of bloom, of youth, of the hopes and joys that belong to youth,

      snapped the link that bound my heart to another's, and doomed me to

      a lone old age. I try to be patient, but my cross has been heavy,

      and my heart is empty and weary, and I long for the death that

      comes so slowly to those who pray to die.

      I will try and relate, exactly as it happened, the event which

      blighted my
