Frederic Ayers

Frederic Ayers is one of the authors that I've met that surprised me.

Firstly because he writes in English and Spanish, secondly because not many authors can write a mix of "Poe" and Twilight Zone...

For those who know me, not only in books but in movies, the unexpected and the surprise element is exactly what I love to feel, hear and see.

About this author:

Frederic Ayers is an author, world traveler, and lover of fiction. He wrote his first short story at the age of fourteen after reading Edgar Allen Poe in school. He has been attracted to writing short stories ever since. He also worked as a mechanic in the Navy, but writing has always been his calling.

Originally hailing from California, he has lived in more cities than he can count, including stints in Europe and Latin America. He currently lives in sunny south Florida with his wife and two daughters. When he is not working on a new short story, he is probably researching the latest beer trends at the local pub.

These are 2 of his works I have read so far:

Something in the Mist

Mother Knows

Donna Black is a housewife who hates going to her mother-in-laws house. But when she gets to the house and sees the glossy porcelain face of the doll staring back at her, she tells her husband Walter that it is staring at her. Walter scoffs at her fear of clowns and reminds her that his mother is 79 years old. 

Now, when Donna's mother-in-law shows her an article in the newspaper of a man who looks exactly like the doll. When the doorbell rings Donna has even more to worry about as she goes to answer it. Will Donna ever survive what is behind the door?
