"Bedridden" - February 27, 2025
Carl has woken up from a stroke to find himself in a facility meant to take care of him. However, there is something sinister behind the otherwise helpful façade
Every Thursday, Silver Gecko Publishing highlights one of my stories, either a work of short fiction, a novel, or an audiobook.
This week’s presentation is the audiobook for “Bedridden,” which has just gone live on Audible, also available on Amazon. You can also find the stand-alone novelette on Kindle.
This is a rather personal story, which I wrote after my father suffered a stroke in 2017. On one hand, it offers the potential for many horror tropes of institutionalized care (which we’ve seen in many movies and books over the years). But it also reflects the real-world horrors that come with a debilitating event and what people face every day as they - and their families - recover.
If you enjoy what you’re hearing, please check out the full audiobook or the Kindle novelette.
Enjoy your weekend!
