For my brother, for my mother, for my failed marriage, and for my daughter. But most of all, for me. ___________________ Please vote if you like, and leave me comments on what you think - good or bad. Every opinion helps.

This story contains graphic adult content (sex, language, drug and alcohol abuse and adult themes, including domestic violence) reader discretion is advised. ***Frightfest 2016 silver winner*** ***Second place for best Horror in Wicked Awards*** Cover by @Finnyh From the frightfest judges: FINN H. ARLETT: Ben's narrative in The Sins of Jack Price is original and focussed, and the immoral main character after whom the story is named is oddly quite likeable. I found it fun to watch him squirm. Ben's depiction of Lucifer is what cinched this win for me, as he is snide, devious, sinister, but unapologetically charming about it all. Altogether a quality read from an upcoming author. GAVIN HETHERINGTON: BennyBedlam's imagination knows no bounds, and from what is presented in The Sins of Jack Price, he writes in a way that entertains with a very brilliant idea behind it. It's unique in its concept and I can't wait to see this writer grow and develop his boundless craft.

Reviews for Birthright: @Finnyh "Birthright's uniqueness, quality, and authenticity are what set it apart. A piece to indulge every fan of horror, historical fiction, and Southern Gothic themes. Ian delivers a compelling story about a family curse through the ages, all the while keeping up a sinister tone and the 'feel' of a different time and place. Ian's Deep South horrors will never fail to entrance and haunt me." @rosaimee "Ambience and tone are incredibly well weaved, in that it's both terrifying and beautiful. With each chapter it grows in complexity, and a solid backdrop enriches the plot." @LynnS13 "Birthright goes to the heart of Southern Gothic. It understands that pace is all when it comes to this special breed of horror. It doesn't boil over or spill; it simmers and goes skin deep."

A completely fictional biographical short story based the life of somebody you might have heard of. In another universe, instead of becoming a successful horror writer, what would have come if there had not been an outlet to channel his thoughts. Written with clues as to who it may be. Revealed at the end. Can't say much else! I know, it's an unusual format, but hey, I love trying new things. Written by myself and a fellow named Eli Clarke. © 2015 Richard Harley, Eli Clarke.
