Captured Souls from Samhain Horror is Now Ready to Pre-Order

Can science create the perfect lover? Or only a living hell? 

Dr. Miriam Frederick is a brilliant professor at a large university. But her latest experiments are decidedly unsanctioned and far more chilling than anyone could imagine. She is determined to answer questions that have plagued mankind for millennia.

What is love? What is lust?

Her first specimen is an author with a gift for language. Specimen Two is an athlete with amazing endurance. Specimen Three provides physical beauty. But once she has trapped her subjects, her twisted attempt to create the perfect lover will have unexpected—and nightmarish—results, not just for her captives, but for her as well.

 "In Captured Souls--her latest erotic thrill ride, Sephera Giron has created a terrifying new character: a female rendition of Dr. Frankenstein given to detailed scientific human experimentation combined with the sexually predatory and obsessive nature of Nabokov's Humbert Humbert. Horrific and unforgettable." --Lisa Mannetti, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Gentling Box and Deathwatch

Captured Souls Coming in February 2014 from Samhain Horror

In February 2014, Captured Souls will be published by Samhain Publishing.

This book marks my official return to the horror genre and to writing in general.

The past few years have been a whirlwind, an emotional time that led me little brain space for original thought. I wrote a few stories and played with ebooks.

I wrote Captured Souls.

This is a story about a mad scientist at a university who uses grant money for nefarious experiments.

Our mad scientist, Dr. Miriam Frederick, keeps a diary about her diabolical deeds. She captures people who strike her fancy and attempts to program them to love and lust after only her.

A writer.
An athlete.
A beauty.

However, as it tends to happen, things don't go as our control freak scientist desires.

For a taste of what you might expect from Captured Souls, you can see me reading a passage at one of the Chizinepub Series.

Mimico Celebrates Samhain with a Pumpkin Parade

 

 

 

On November 1, 2013, the residents of Etobicoke brought their pumpkins to Mimico Park for a pumpkin parade.

 

The event had been advertised for weeks and hundreds of people arrived with pumpkins in wagons, strollers, and in their arms.

 

The pumpkins were assembled in lines along the band shell and in front of it. There were so many pumpkins that they surrounded the playground and paraded alongside The Birds and the Bees Coffee Shop.

 

Many people and animals wore costumes, the excitement of Halloween echoing through the park for another night.

 

Mimico park is a beautiful area, right on the lake, and as the sun set, and the jack-o-lanterns flickered, it was a magnificent Halloween sight to behold.

 

The pumpkin parade is a clever way to collect all the pumpkins in the neighbourhood for compost. Instead of pumpkins rotting on the porch for weeks, they are brought to the parade for one last party and then sent to the mulch pile.

 

Some children didn't want to sacrifice their pumpkins even though the truck was nowhere in sight. There were many parents carrying pumpkins back home again with a crying child trailing behind.

 

The Mimico Pumpkin Parade is a great idea on so many levels. It was wonderful to see all the different carvings and imaginations at play. It likely saves a lot of money to pick up hundreds of pumpkins in one spot and keeps the neighborhood free of pumpkin smashing vandals and rot.
