A journalist and his slightly problematic 12 yr old son travel to the midwest, to the small town of Templeton, to start a new life after his wife dies from an auto accident. The television station that hires him as a newswriter also hires him to be the kooky midnight horror movie M.C. As they adjust to their new home, they realize that the citizens of this town are neurotic, if not downright crazy, and the schools there have the highest suicide rate in the country. There is a sinister rich old family, the Hawkins, who own and run the town. Jim is beginning to think that they could be a supernatural force behind the crazed fear, and he is determined to understand the nature of their hold on everybody in the town. But he soon discovers that some secrets are best left uncovered, as he, his son, and his new lady friend are threatened by opponents that they do not always understand. At the same time they must contend with drunken ex-boyfriends, neighbours with psychic links to other planets, and a neighbour with a murderous past. Moving to Templeton might not have been the best career choice, after all."

Two short novels.
In "The White Trash Witches Coven", Keith Ogden accidentally meets a witch in a Super-Usav-Mart. When she invites him to join the coven, he accepts, thinking of fun sorceries and lots of whammies. The gaggle of chatty women he encounters severely disappoints, with their baby pictures, recipes, and addictions to trashy afternoon TV. Is this "coven" just a group of wannabes, or is something more sinister lurking underneath the chicken grease?
In "Pavane for a Scream Queen", Jeff Vincent, freelance writer for Filmland Magazine and as-of-yet-undiscovered novelist, has landed the interview of a lifetime with cult favorite Aurora Sterling, scream queen of the 1950's classic B-movies. But when Dame Aurora cancels and those who worked with her die or go into hiding, Jeff finds himself in the middle of a mystery. What is the secret behind this gorgeous, elegant woman? Is it just Hollywood hype, or something else much older and eternal?

Korn's first horror novel, Rachmaninoff's Ghost, (51,000 words, 160 pp) written eighteen years ago.
History: Sold to Papercapers, resold to
Silverlake Publishing: Silverlake under new mgt, resold again to Silverlake publishing. A blandishment
about Korn's first novel written eighteen years ago:
"...Michael Korn has fed upon Poe, Lovecraft and Richly Sinewed Music, but above all upon
himself! I thought the
first two-thirds of RACHMANINOFF'S GHOST splendid, but its last third of Jungian nightmare
literally took my head off. If Korn's photo is not on the front of TIME magazine, as a result,
injustice will sure be done..." -- D.F. Lewis

"While reading, you'll be picked up and dropped straight into your
own history while visiting various, imaginary neighborhoods...It's
nostalgia at its finest."
--Sherry Decker, from the Introduction "M. F. Korn's richly detailed, highly idiosyncratic portraits of
America call to mind a Bradbury on magic mushrooms...he's a Norman Rockwell speaking in tongues with a voodoo doll in one hand
and a flaming paintbrush in the other."
