Mother's House of Horrors is a Community Project set in the town of Carsden. Last year, we witnessed the aftermath of Maggie Rose's disappearance right before the Annual Harvest Festival, and now, with the disappearance of Finn Llorens amid many other peculiar occurrences, the Town Council is taking action against a mysterious and insipid evil infecting Carsden. With their world slowly changing before them, the residents will encounter and unveil many strange secrets throughout this jarring and exhilarating experience. MHoH is a horror-based community project. Its central focus is to explore character development, work together with other writers, build a story and work towards an ending. The fate of the entire town rests in the hands of its citizens - their actions and the way they interact with each other and the world around them might just save - or doom - them all. Packed with its own share of spooky stuff, it's an experience you won't forget.

In Tokyo, where the System siphons thought, emotions & memories, a literature student meets a strange psychic girl and they embark on an escape from mindless agents, dream worlds and reality itself, in a soul-searching journey for love, for identity and what it means to be human. But all that remains is a peculiar coffee shop order. The novel examines the human condition, perception, socio-political systems, capitalism and consumer culture, incorporating paranoiac conspiracy theories, surreal cosmic visions, circular symbolism and shifting parallel worlds, with profound discussions of coffee, art, literature and music. [Dystopia, Magical Realism, Philosophy, Literary] #1 Sci-Fi, Spiritual; #Wattys2014 Award Winner; Featured on Wattpad, IndieReader, @DIGonUSA "Struck me to the very core of my being." "Very interesting concept of reality... Thought provoking.." "I have been turned to a whole new way of thinking because of you." "Like a seven course meal full of spice and illumination... One does not listen to a classical piece to get to its ending. No. It is the ride, the moment by moment...a genuine Masamune among stories." "It was both personable and philosophical. A rare breed of good story and thought provoking ideas... A virtual standing ovation would not be enough to encapsulate the absolute awe I have of you." "It's not a regular thing to find a piece of work that oozes sophistication and embodies literature and art." "The world Takatsu has created opens to the deeper awareness of another, the draw of another." - Mary L Tabor, Wattpad author, essayist, professor "Offers acute, almost painful observations of the minutiae of life, if life took place in a Murakami snow-globe." - IndieReader Insiders "Vapoury style that seems to hover off world at times...haunting and strange (which is good)...You're on to something different, striking." - B.W. Powe, York University English Professor, award-winning author, poet, philosopher http://EspressoLove.tk
