Till we all join together, and I am one." ---Omen Poem "There is a light at the end of this twisted dark maze, but once you reach that light, you just might want to turn around and run back into the maze.

About the Book
Lock Crick has returned home to his friends, after serving thirteen months of punishment and pain, for the accidental killing of a hitchhiker, on a dark country road, in the pouring rain. Now, games and masks and nightmares of six friends' shared past, conspire and collide, as childhood demons taunt and hide, on this Halloween night and the eve of winter's bane. A welcome home celebration and a trick or treat incantation, turns rotten and rank, during a party prank, when an uninvited guest ends up slain. Another accident? Murder maybe? Is it Owen Poe's blood or a fake blood stain? Because now his body is missing, and good friends are acting strange. Raven Cathmore and her grown-up orphan friends must learn the rules of insanity and the reality of someone's twisted game. As the snowfall grows steeper and the body-part pile gets deeper, someone is playing for keeps, and one of them is to blame.
About the Author
Spider Hacksaw is a reclusive writer living in various areas at different times of the year. All of spider's contact with the outside world is handled through his assistants. Spider Hacksaw's stories pertain to the struggle between the darkness and the light. With the underlying theme that regardless of how great the darkness seems, there still exists the light, even when it appears that all is lost, the light is still there, and it can never be fully extinguished. When all is bleak and the Ubiquitous Umbra appears to have won the eternal battle with Dr. Radiant, the light still throbs, even in the deepest realm of the Wild Black Yonder. Dystopia is spider hacksaw's 2nd book. It was originally written as a screenplay in 1992. Spider's first book, A Midsummer's Nightmare was originally written as a screenplay in 1993. Both scripts were sent out but neither were made into films. Spider is currently writing a 3rd book. He will soon be making his books into films.
