"Patient 444 and Other Short Stories"

In "Patient 444" the anger that drove Gerald Dury to blow up the Methodist Church in Bradley Kansas, stays resilient and still powerful within the concrete and rebar of Grey Creek Sanitarium, to be woken once again by "bum sacrifices" (the wanton killing of homeless people) deep inside the walls of the abandoned facility.

In the end, the lasting presence of rage that drove Gerald Dury into the pit of hell and madness, rises from the dusty floors and peeling walls of Grey Creek Sanitarium to meet the flashlight beams of three "Urban Explorers" attempting to document the decay of Grey Creek Sanitarium, but discovering more there than dust and graffiti.

"Patient 444" is a collection of stories by J.M.Lamoreux written in a powerfully mystical way lifting his work out of the mainstream and placing in in a category of "magic reality" unique in the Horror genre. "Patient 444" includes stories about an unseen "pet" that guards a shed and finds its life in the twisted heart of an old man, a haunted gym that is guarded by a lonesome ghost that embodies a world of sadness and when provoked, animal rage, a ghostly encounter in Donner Memorial Park by a drug dealer attacked by an invisible pack of wild animals, the revenge of a woman murdered in a mall bathroom, the resurrection of a murdered wife in a "Water Master's House" in the Sierras, and more...much more.

Mr. Lamoreux lives in Reno Nevada, is retired, and is interested in hearing from people reading his work or simply wanting to "talk shop" about writing.
