Book Description
"In Mister Alexander's neighborhood, it gets very dark very early." - Steve DuBois www.stevedubois.net "The nine stories in Michael Alexander's creepy collection, Boarded Windows, Dead Leaves, explore the creepier side of humanity. The tone is set by 'A Profound Impact' and doesn't let up. He takes on some of the standard horror tropes but also explores new grounds, all the while staying faithful to the theme that there are some very scary things out there, and you'd better be afraid." - Vincent Moore Professor of English & Humanities, Tiffin University Author of Emily Dickinson, Ninja Assassin "In Boarded Windows, Dead Leaves, Michael Jess Alexander takes the reader on a thrill-ride through his haunted imagination. Be sure to hold on tight! There are plenty of twists and turns you won't see coming until it is too late. By the time you manage to avert your gaze, the seeds of nightmare will have already been planted." - Lamont A. Turner "It depends on what you fear more, visiting the dead or being visited by the dead, which of these "nine macabre tales" you will find the most macabre. Will you be haunted more by living (and dying) the last moment of a laser-sliced brain, or by the returning soul able to possess many bodies at once, or by the experience of being eaten alive? Regardless of which one digs deepest into your anxieties, you won't soon forget any of the stories in Michael Jess Alexander's Boarded Windows, Dead Leaves." - H. L. Hix Author of Demonstrategy --- From cultish rituals to cosmic horror, Michael Jess Alexander's collection of horror fiction will leave you disquieted and unsettled. In "Chatterbox," a college professor is haunted by the spirit of a former student. "A Profound Impact" tells the story of a lost group of people who finally find a place they belong. In "Space For Amateurs," a science experiment goes horribly awry. These tales and six others await you in this haunting volume of horror fiction.

Book Description
Neela Keetham and her brother Navi yearn to escape their hometown of Marasaw. Living with their grandmother after their mother had left years before to find work abroad, they struggle against the poverty and limited opportunities available in Marasaw. Navi hopes to prosper from his talent as a math prodigy, while Neela constantly battles to find some talent to rival her brother’s. Despite the support of their grandmother and friends, both Navi and Neela find that escaping their circumstances, much less their past, is no easy task. The siblings make their separate ways out of Marasaw, but each must make sacrifices and damaging compromises along the way. They also learn dark and dangerous truths about each other, driving them apart in fear and anger. As Navi and Neela work tirelessly to create new lives for themselves, the outside world, far from being a paradise, is revealed as more punishing and unfair than the world they left behind. Navi wins a prestigious government internship, but his success ironically snuffs out the opportunity for a lasting, loving relationship with a fellow intern. On the strength of rumours and the word of her boyfriend Jaroon, Neela daringly makes her way to a resort town hidden in the rainforest to work as a teacher, only to find that this “Eden,” and Jaroon, are not what they seem. Chastened and wiser for their experiences, Neela and then Navi are both forced by circumstances to return home. The disappearance of Neela’s daughter, Seetha, leads them back to each other and into the complex and mysterious bonds of family. To save Seetha, Neela and Navi must attempt to heal their damaged relationship and along the way they discover that in the cruel and imperfect world in which they live, hope may still prevail.

Book Description
Lake Superior is the largest and coldest of the Great Lakes, a three hundred and fifty mile chasm filled with some of the coldest water in the world. And its angry. The source of its anger is Jimmy Parker, who inherited a lot of money when his parents died and up until now has been very prudent and careful with it. But when he purchases two hundred acres of shoreline property on Lake Superior in Michigans Upper Peninsula, he takes a chance to fulfill a childhood dream. He gets much, much more. His purchase is laughed at by his brother, and questioned by his best friend, Gwen. But Jimmy has never felt more positive about anything in his life. On that property, on a hillside west of the village of Grand Marais, Michigan, lies the remains of an old lighthouse. Once a symbol of hope to those who had lost their way on the cold lake, the building has been reduced to a forgotten collection of crumbled mortar and broken glass. Stories of the original lighthouse keeper still filter through the community. Stories of a man obsessed with the responsibility of tending the light. Of a man who didnt just live inside the lighthouse, but became a part of it. And then Jimmy decides to have it rebuilt. Once he does that, he unwittingly jumps into a centuries old war between the fury of the lake, and one mans determination to defy it. Shortly after the rebuilding is complete the lighthouse shines again. And once again a vessel lost on Lake Superior is brought home safely. Except the vessel is the Lucerne. And it sank in 1886. Soon other vessels come ashore in respone to the lighthouses call: The Thomas Wilson, which went down after a collision with another ship in 1902; the Hudson, a freighter that took 24 men to the bottom of the lake with her in 1901. The lake is losing its prized trophies to the light along the shore. Jimmy finds himself on the front line of a grudge match between the lighthouse and the lake. A tug of war between the light of promise, and the darkness that is the bottom of Lake Superior. Now with the aid of the local historian, Jimmy is scrambling to find a journal once kept by the original lighthouse keeper. If he can find it, he might better understand the spirit of the man who once tended the light, and why that spirit rages on all these years later. But hed better do it fast. Because with each passing day more and more people are drawn to Grand Marais, pulled in for some unknown reason to the shoreline where the old ships are resting. They arrive in cars and motorhomes, in groups or by themselves. They arrive not looking for answers, but for some final conclusion to the tragedies that have marked their own lives. Tragedies that are inexplicably linked with the force that is Lake Superior. As they race to find the old journal, Jimmys relationship with Gwen undergoes a transformation. And suddenly seeing this thing to the end doesnt seem as enticing without her with him. He feels that the lighthouse is his responsibility. That its now his watch. But it wont be easy. His opponent is the largest body of fresh water in the world. A body of water so cold death results in minutes. One that can lull you to sleep with serene calm one minute, then lash out with frightening authority the next. An opponent without eyes Jimmy can see or a voice that he can hear, but one with an unearthly fury that only grows as each ship rises. An opponent whose anger is unleashed in the explosiveness of its assault on the shoreline. And an opponent who waits, patiently and menacingly, for Jimmy to make a mistake. Because if he does, then the lake will welcome him, as it has thousands of others, into the Graveyard of the Great Lakes. Authors Note The village of Grand Marais is very much real, and very much a part of my life. So is t
