Summary

I had much so much fun in creating this story it has encouraged me to venture into writing more tales in the realms of 'Comic book /Pu;p fiction' Science fiction.
Mechanical Mike is a fun tale, a modern pulp fictional story of Metal Robotics, Nazi-occupied France and Love.
I originally penned this for a science fiction website that never became a reality, so with a few alterations and edits, I have made Mechanical Mike into an Electric Eclectic Novelette.
Enjoy.

    Paul Stiles is spending his Saturday morning mowing his lawn, when his next door neighbor dies a peculiar and spectacular death on Paul's front lawn. Paul knows something terrifying is happening, but he doesn't realize that it's the beginning of a war of survival for humanity. 
    Islamic terrorists have paid rogue Russian scientists to create a plague of genetically created "bugs", and have turned them loose on the free world, intending to kill the "infidels" of the world. But they didn't take into account the unintended repercussions of these new creatures, like rapid breeding, or massive growth, or…using humans as both food and reproductive incubators. 
    As the world is quickly taken over by these "bugs", Paul leads a group of survivors into the Rocky mountains, hoping against hope to find a way to combat the creatures…as long as they can stay away from those that have empty eyes. 
    But will that be enough to save humanity? 
    Find out in T. M. Bilderback's novel, Empty Eyes.

    "The Evil Clergyman" is an excerpt from a letter written by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft in 1933. After his death, it was published in the April 1939 issue of Weird Tales as a short story. The story was later adapted into the unreleased 1987 anthology film Pulse Pounder.The story begins in the attic of an ancient house. The narrator's companion refers to the former owner of the house and the presumably violent end that befell him. He advises the narrator not to stay after dark or touch anything, especially the small object on a table, which the companion seems to fear considerably. The narrator is then left alone in the attic; he notes the many theological and classical books, and one bookshelf in particular containing books on magic. He feels a considerable curiosity for the forbidden object on the table. The narrator finds a strange flashlight-like device in his pocket that produces a peculiar violet glow. He attempts to illuminate the object on the table with this strange light, which he describes as being composed of particles. The object makes a crackling sound like a sparking vacuum tube, and takes on a pinkish glow with a vague white shape taking form from its center. The narrator, feeling that his surroundings are taking on strange new properties, realizes that he is not alone; the sinister newcomer is described as wearing clerical garb typical of the Anglican Church. The newcomer begins throwing magical books into a fireplace.

    In this third—and final—book in the STRUNG series, Randall Morgan and David Pearson face their biggest challenge yet. 
    In the form of a half-empty IV bag once connected to Randall's son, they have found a means that might be used to fight the evil that has infected the world. 
    The question remains, though, whether they can bring themselves to use it. Because during the massacre at Redwater, their enemy finally revealed his true face … and it looks so damn innocent.
