Parasylum (Excerpt on Goodreads)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
"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!

Critique and the Critic!
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. Paranormal happenings, which stretch the imagination far beyond a mindscape, send chills down your spine. You’re now engulfed within a nightmare, placed on the precipice of the abyss. 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.

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!

CEO's of Networks Get Spooked From Parasylum Horror Trilogy!
A paranormal adventure into terror, February 6, 2013
By B. Davis "B Davis"
Another spine tingling chiller, thriller from Robbie Thomas. His books always keep me riveted to my seat and this one is no different.
I love that when Robbie writes a book, it puts you right into the story and right into the minds of the characters.
You really feel like you are there with them as their journey into the paranormal becomes all to real and all to terrifying for them.
If you love horror and the paranormal then you need to get a copy of Parasylum. Then go sit in your favorite chair, in a darkened room, with a dimly lit lamp and prepare to be thoroughly spooked.
I can't wait to see what Robbie Thomas come up with next? Well done.
