Marked

by Stuart Park

Overview

Venus and her sister planet concludes their 3,000 year cycle. Stargazers amass to witness this once-in-a-lifetime event, but not Mark, his life is about to change.

Mark's chance encounter with the cold but intangibly-carnal Kiko sets him plummeting into free-fall. Kim, his emphatic but emotionally-charged wife moonlights with a shadowy organisation whose intentions are far from transparent. She needs to blame someone for the disappearance of their daughter twenty years ago. No solace is offered by her egocentric therapist who's engrossed in his own agenda.

Plagued by visions, Mark struggles to maintain his grip on reality and descends into a vividly-violent web of darkness. As Mark's world spirals beyond his control, it's quite possible this cycle will not end smoothly.

About the Author

One thing Stuart really wants to know is, when you eat a banana, when does that stop being fruit and start being you?

When Stuart stops questioning the demise of fruit he can be found indulging in other activities such as, music production, photography, gardening, running and weird-ass arthouse cinema. The results from some of his projects can be found on his site, http://likebreathing.com/.

He has been in the background of the Sinister Horror Company and helped out by proofreading titles, including: Terror Byte, Punch, Class Three, Upon Waking, Class Four, The Exchange, Clandestine Delights, Screams In The Night and Hexagram for J.R. Park and Duncan P. Bradshaw. Plus a number of other short stories: Easter Hunt, Mandrill, Incident and Soft Centred.

Since a knee operation gave him time and inspiration, he's decided to try some writing. Since then he has written a novella called 'Marked' and a short story called 'Orange Are Orange' featured in 'Black Room Manuscripts volume 2'.
