Rupert Hilden is haunted by the image of a bald man he saw through his bedroom window as a child. 24 years later he sees the same man in a distant apartment window and each time he sees the man he is closer. But Rupert is unable to convince anyone that what he is seeing is real. As Rupert investigates he uncovers several disturbing family secrets that seem to be connected. And then the murders begin... This psychological thriller horror tale will be presented in serial form over the course of 34 weeks. A readers review (electricblue85): Sean Fisher's "13 Windows" was one of the first books I completed in 2021. In short, IT BLEW MY FREAKING MIND. "13 Windows" tells the chilling, mind-boggling story of Rupert Hilden: a miserable individual haunted by the image of the bald man he saw through his bedroom window as a child. But the story is not that simple. Not. Even. Close. Things get complicated when the murders begin. I've never really been into horror / thriller literature, but this book single-handedly made me a fan! The writing style, the level of detail, the suspense, the amount of research that went into crafting the plot and stage for this dynamic masterpiece of a book is STUNNING. And Sean Fisher composed MUSIC for the book. MUSIC! I highly recommend this story to inquisitive readers who want to be simultaneously impressed and disquieted--especially those that crave a great plot twist (because wow).

A Freudian Slip of the Jung: The Musical is an award winning comedy/satire/bedroom farce by Sean Fisher that explores the turbulent and complicated relationship between Dr. Sigmund Freud and Dr. Carl Jung. The play is based on real stories that occurred between the two doctors, Freud's wife Martha and her sister Minna. These two founding fathers of psychoanalysis were influenced heavily by each other despite having completely different beliefs about religion. Freud was a staunch atheist and Jung a devout catholic.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
