David Li simply wanted to create a name for himself, to paint a brighter future. He never imagined that a chance encounter would propel him down a much darker path, one that would entangle him in a game of life and death broadcasting over generations. UPDATE: For those who enjoyed this work when I originally posted the draft in 2018, please know that more is coming soon. I am currently serving as a writer-in-residence for a week and am in the thick of tackling edits, rewrite, and new chapters.

Zombies and werewolves and witches, oh my! Dorothy is a normal teenage girl. She goes to school, hangs out and resists the advances of the boys in her year. And she lives with her aunt after the death of her parents. A trip to a mall is brought to an abrupt halt when a freak storm hits. Dorothy is transported to another land, one where zombies hunt, a serial killer is rebuilding his metal body from the parts of his victims and a witch is trying to prevent a self proclaimed wizard from destroying their world! With a werewolf mourning its murdered beloved and a group of orphans ready to carry out a human sacrifice, Dorothy is sure she's not in Kansas anymore!

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.

It's the mirrors. Or the shadows that dwell within them... Alice hates reflections. Never being able to adjust to being a twin, she escapes into an insane world of darkness, mad hatters and invisible cats. And she becomes the ruler of it all! What a wonder...! - *Wattpad Fairytale Community's Retelling Awards FCRAs Winning Story!*

Death, War, Pestilence and Famine - the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - have been hanging around for so long waiting to being about the end of the world, they've forgotten who they really are. War is a Top Gear groupie, Fam (the Man) cheats at Monopoly against his sidekick Pestilencio and Death sighs a lot - something that's not too great for the local pigeon population but makes Cedric, their three-headed Jack Russell, very happy. Death realises the world is going down the pan without them, and decides to make it a better place. After all, it should be THEM destroying it, not us! Unfortunately, things don't quite go according to plan...

After the death of his wife, Simon Fuller moves to a new home, with his two daughters. One day, his daughter introduces a new imaginary friend - Nathaniel. She 'gives' Nathaniel to her father, telling him he can keep the boy "forever". Simon tries to find out who the boy really is, but is unable to. Questioning his daughter, she tells him, again, that it's Nathaniel, but he prefers to be called by his nickname, Mr. Boogie.

Wattpad and DC Vertigo commissioned me to share my favourite 80s horror icon with you to celebrate Vertigo releasing a brand new title, SURVIVORS’ CLUB. I’m so excited to read it and you can check out early sketches and other official content at @VertigoComics, right here on Wattpad!

I am Death. I know who you are... There is darkness and madness in each of us. We must do battle with our own demons. But... What if those demons opened the door in the back of your mind and stepped out. What if they became real? If the night, the shadows, the reflections and Death himself walked among us? And what if they were watching you? Waiting? Thirsting...? Dark Places. Thirteen stories. Thirteen poems. Thirteen doorways. - Praise for Dark Places: "He paints a surreal picture that sucks you into the terror." "Wow. Brilliantly written!"
