Followed By Madness

An adventure climb up a telephone pole turns into an extended nightmare for six year-old Donnie after he accidentally causes the death of a little girl. What madness follows him the rest of his life—the ghost of Diane Kaye Warner, his own personal demons, or something far more sinister? The answer can be found within the linked stories in this collection that follow our hero’s dark journey from the mid-fifties to the present.
This book is dedicate to Scott, the Newark Senior High Class of 1969, and to the memory of David Bloom (1937 – 1971). Please enjoy the sample stories.
