About Billy Wells
I have written 238 short stories so far in my quest to exceed Ray Bradbury's 400 short stories. It goes without saying it will be an uphill climb.
Since reviews are the life's blood of every author, I would greatly appreciate a review of any of my books on Amazon.com and hold anyone who does in high esteem for all eternity.
Stephen King is my favorite horror writer, and I admire what King has accomplished in the horror genre in terms of movies made from his considerable volume of work.
My channels on YouTube have amassed 20,000 subscribers and over 10,400,000 views, mostly from my "Dead Celebrities" videos.
I love movies and had seen over 1,500 by the age of 13 when there was snow on 13 channels after midnight.
My favorite horror movies are Halloween, Night of the Living Dead, and The Evil Dead. My favorite movie is Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life with James Stewart. My favorite authors are Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Lawrence Block, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, John Sandford, Michael Connelly, Robert B. Parker, Clive Cussler, James Patterson, Jeffery Deaver, Dean Koontz, Edgar Allen Poe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, James Lee Burke, Lee Child, & Jack Kilborn/Konrath.

The editorial letter from CreateSpace, Amazon’s professional editing and publishing company, says “the overall theme of monsters and fright is extremely relevant in the wake of recent successes in this niche such as Harry Potter and Twilight.” Their copy editor wrote “I truly enjoyed the unique and twisted qualities of these short, yet intricately crafted, stories. Your stories almost seem to have an Edgar Allen Poe quality to them. Clearly you have a great skill for short story writing, and I will definitely be acquiring this book to add to my collection once it is complete.”
CreateSpace’s comments on tone and style: “Your writing style was perfect for these short stories. There was just enough detail and intrigue to get an overall sense of the time and place in each one before the strong, abrupt, and often sinister, ending.”
CreateSpace comments on Plot Flow/Characterization: “The sardonic scenarios combined with the ironic situations that all the main characters experience produces an over arching moral within each story. Although supernatural at times, the characters’ grievances are still relatable to the reader, especially as the scope of personalities and characteristics, both physical and mental, is so broad throughout the book. Identifying with the plight of each character allows the reader to sympathize with the protagonist, even when his or her actions are inherently flawed or misguided. ”
To secure the sanity of the reader, I suggest these nightmares be read in broad daylight with loved ones in close proximity that can be summoned in an instant by a sudden cry. I take no responsibility for the circumstances that may befall those who dare to visit these foreboding scarescapes alone at night. Abandon all hope for these pitiable souls if the lights go out.
