"Thankfully we have never investigated a place as haunted as Parasylum! I think if we ever did, I would run. Run as far away as I possibly could and never look back over my shoulder."
-Michael Lamport, Award Winning Film Producer, Lamport & Sheppard Entertainment

A team of inexperienced paranormal investigators find themselves involved in the deepest darkest recesses of the unknown when they enter into Grandview's Asylum. The souls of yesteryear seek revenge on whomever enter into the abyss of no return. The horrors are plenty with many twists and turns and an ending that will keep you shaking your head. Enter into the mindscape where a dream turns into a nightmare and the nightmare is your reality.

The mind is a complex yet simple frame to be in. We travel many different corridors to understanding, which at some point we become enlightened to what it is that plagues us. Enter the mindscape that transforms dreams into nightmares and nightmares into reality. The way we perceive life is only a perception with some, who share in the illusion of disillusionment. We create the path in which we walk, yet the trail upon which one steps could very well be a story that is never ending. Welcome to Parasylum, where what may seem impossible is possible and what might seem sinister is just plain evil!

Anchored in the subjective mindset, he relinquishes his will to the inevitable. Everything seems to be of a set memory, glimpses from the past, forged into the now, leaving only the permeated sense of nothingness. Hung like a ragdoll in abject misery, the echoes of many shake the very foundation upon which the hallowed grounds cry. He closes his eyes, only to recount once more, everything over, and over again. There's no escaping this torture from within, welcome to your Nightmare!

Oh let’s face it, the arena of life is filled with critics regardless of what profession, or walk of life you're from. Everyone has a say, which really belongs to the person who's critiquing whatever it is they're reading, working on, or just want to chime in on something other than their own. Projecting evaluations of another’s work isn’t the last say, it's only one person’s say! It doesn’t mean it’s a definitive, or a means to sway others in any direction whatsoever. It's merely just input, giving direction of sorts to either, better oneself in the area of expertise of your work, or just trying to give a personal perspective on their very own liking of whatever it is you're doing or have done.


It's a blessing in disguise really when you think of it, for it lends the credence of you and in saying so; they're taking notice of you. Good or bad, a critique is still “Good”, as it's the benchmark for you to work at understanding the fact, not everyone will like, or achieve that same result as many others who might agree, or even disagree with what's being evaluated.


Never walk away from a Critic’s view point, for remember, it’s only one view point that actually is constructive criticism and you can draw from that. Once again, no one critique will be the same as the other, thus, you, as the subject of the inquisition, have an opportunity to utilize all aspects of what's being said. A personal point of view has its merits and then again, that's all it is, a personal point of view. Remember, the critic, is only as good as his/her critique, which gives you the upper hand in the first place. Always look at it through rose colored glasses, as well as a glass half full!

You enter a tangled web of many miles traveled within your Imagination sitting in an apocalyptic timeframe, as a nation of blood thirsty Zombies desire to devour you. The adventure, mystery and horrific happenings seem to slowly play out in a realm of no return. Once bitten, twice shy, you might say! Not for the Vampire enthusiast, who loves the elegance of intrigue – this will surely grab you, plunging your very soul into a lustful heart-pounding adventure of Vampires, who seek out beautiful innocence. The desire of blood-curdling moments seize your interest, you turn page after page, faster and faster, all while being drawn into an illusion of a trance no one can resist. You turn a corner of the unknown that lurks in the dark. It sits quietly waiting, ready to envelope your very being.

The climatic venue keeps you glued to every word, creating so much detail within your mind, it drives you to want more, so much more.

The best part of any young adult horror/fantasy reading is that escape: the lure of desire and the yearning to know, to want, or belong in the traumatic splendor it offers. Captivating of course, the craving of words permeates your soul as your eyes peer into the pages seeking the horror it brings. Oh, you can very well see yourself in this role, as you read more into the subject matter of the horror story. It edges you on, leading you on a path to which your curiosity gets the best of you. It holds you completely hostage, while you anxiously continue to read the deepest, darkest secrets it has to offer.

Getting lost in the story is exactly where you want to be while you try to escape the clutches of evil that beckons you into its lair. The seduction becomes overwhelming as the horror that plays out only entices you. You are now part of the characters that are written within the pages. The plague of anxiety is exciting, so-much-so that you can’t put the book down. Welcome to your new found home – the horror realm.

"Astounding Roller Coaster Ride. This Book Is Epic! It is well written as the climax begins on page 2 right to the end with an unexpected twist. Just Genius! I have one specific scene that is still haunting me from last night. The part between Zebra Station and the #2 Pod I believe...That writing is so exciting I'm heavily reminded of The Airport Scene in Stephen Kings The Langoliers. The reason I make that comparison is that is absolutely one of my favorite books and it was represented well in movie form. I make this coloration because it is EXTREMELY Easy to see this book in movie form and I would be extremely excited to hear that as a possibility too!" Michael Kalinowski

(From the back cover of Parasylum II The Unleashed)

"Perception of life is in the reality one gives it, thus the illusion of time is that of everlasting. One crosses the threshold of many intertwined realms, on many different plains, which transforms the mindset and giving it the power to dream. It’s within these dreams that one creates the reality of their own, while sometimes they become nightmares with no return. Welcome to Parasylum II The Unleashed. It’ll take you to hell and back.

When Paranormal goes wrong, the undead crave your soul!"

Critic Reviews

"Here comes Part 2 where J.C. and his team is at it again. Beer's flowing on the floor and hearts are pounding. Who wouldn't have a pounding heart after listening to an EVP that said you are going to die. I said the first book in this series was a real page turner. Well, this book goes beyond that description. Be careful your eyes don't go into warp drive to see what happens at the hotel to J.C. and his team. Can you wait to find out if the hotel investigated is a part of the "you can check in but you can't check out hotel chain?"
-Martha Decker, Award Winning Jouralist/Author/Paranormal Researcher

"Parasylum II is here and it's holy heck scary! EVP death threats, malevolent spirits, and heart-pounding sequences are so intense you will be jumping at shadows. The twenty's have passed but the gangsters never left and they're hell bent on taking out as many victims as they can. Run while you can or you're next! Hold on people it's going to be a terror ride!"
-Jodi Hanson, Journalist/Review Critic for Suspense Magazine & Chapters and Chats

The men/women who Aspire to Inspire, have sat in situations where they've listened only to reach out to another, giving hope and aspirations for their dreams, so they too can one day do the same.

Dreams, the ideas of notions that flutter around in one’s mindset that give color to many aspects, which drives the heart to create, to be the creator, the inventor of Aspiration. A child sits and daydreams of far off distant places, with many different scenarios that are part of their youth, those around them, and perhaps some new friends they've imagined. The innocence of creativity, is the foundation to us all, the love of inventing making things come true, or at best, the start of something to come.

Putting pen to paper is one of the most beautiful creative ways to express your ideas, dreams, or maybe that long awaited thought you've just had to get down in writing. It cascades you into a realm of many different places, people, adventures and to think, what an escape it is, as you lustfully crave more and more of this pleasant place to be.

Sharing all this with many, is but a treasure of many troves and bliss of something no one can ever take from you. This is something in life that's non-negotiable, for it's from you, about you, it's part of you and no one owns that, but you!

Time Shift Compared to Stephen Kings Langoliers!

"Robbie Thomas Book Is Epic!"

" Robbie Thomas' book "Time Shift The Paradigm" is an astounding roller-coaster ride through an exciting world that I walk away feeling personally invested in. Robbie takes a very cerebral approach to writing that informs with legitimate fact and current research while keeping the action extremely exciting pulling you more into the world he writes about. Time Shift, is written in a way that you become immersed in the story. You understand the motives and thoughts of the characters, you start to care and worry about them. It becomes so easy to relate to with the inclusion of fact and current theories that you can visualize yourself involved with the story. But just when you start to understand what's happening... *WHAM!*... there's another curve ball that takes you down another exciting path full of science, twists, turns, reality and surreal moments of unexplained phenomena and so much more!

This is a book that is extremely hard to put down! Part of me knows it's fiction, but then again, frequently you're left thinking about the possibility of....I just can't give it away! You must read this to understand. When one chapter ends you drive to know what happens next. Robbies' writing brings surreal phenomena to a level that makes you think it could be an extreme possibility in reality. I'm thoroughly excited to review this book for Robbie Thomas and I eagerly anticipate more great writings!"


Side Note:

All that aside, I've one specific scene that's still haunting me from last night. The part between Zebra Station and the #2 Pod I believe...That writing's so exciting I'm heavily reminded of The Airport Scene in Stephen Kings The Langoliers. The reason I make that comparison, it's absolutely one of my favorite books and it was represented well in movie form. I make this coloration because it's EXTREMELY Easy to see this book in movie form and I'd be extremely excited to hear that as a possibility too!

You see it much in the way of face-to-face conversations, where people share ideas, actions, or just a friendly smile. Have we lost our way in how to communicate in real life versus that of the computer? Have we evolved into demographic key strokes so-much-so, that living the normalcy of life has become a quick enter, or delete situation? Research may show that people do spend more time sitting at a computer, rather than around the dining room table for supper, where real time interaction takes place with humans and not that of machines. What have we become? Some might say, it’s a new way of life, but is it life really? Where's the human interaction, rather than the screen in front of the keyboard and the “send button”?

Has society manipulated itself into believing we're progressing into the future, but could this be just a deceitful way of stating things? Oh how bliss the days of old, where neighbors spent hours just talking over the fence, sharing in conversation in real time. The days of walking down the street stopping to talk to a stranger passing moments of intellectual interaction has now come to logging on to facebook or twitter, sitting eating bonbons and wondering why those extra few pounds won’t disappear.

Is it Interaction, or inter-dependency, on what could be considered, not so mind stimulating after all?

Just one man’s perspective!
