    The Deadly Pod - A Gruesome Tale

    "The Deadly Pod" is a chilling horror tale set in the picturesque fishing village of Beer, Devon, where the seemingly idyllic coastal landscape conceals a family's monstrous legacy. The Stabb family—patriarch Paul (73), matriarch Susan (68), their son Peter (54), his wife Margaret (51), and their teenage son James (18)—operate a deadly glamping business from their remote clifftop cottage. 
    In 2018, the family installs a modern holiday pod designed to lure solo travelers to their doom. Beneath its sleek exterior lies a hidden chamber where victims are imprisoned before being murdered and cannibalized. The pod becomes a perfect hunting ground, with Susan managing online bookings while Paul and Peter handle the gruesome logistics. James, traumatized and reluctant, is forced to participate in the family's ritualistic meals. 
    The system proves devastatingly effective, claiming multiple victims including Sarah (a London photographer), Marcus (a German artist), and Eleanor (a retired librarian). Each disappearance is carefully orchestrated, with the family using victims' own devices to send false messages explaining extended stays. The isolated location and Paul's knowledge of local tides ensure evidence vanishes into the sea. 
    However, the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown destroys their operation. With tourism halted, the family faces starvation. Desperation breeds paranoia, and Margaret's mental breakdown triggers the first act of familial cannibalism when Peter kills her during a violent confrontation. The family's consumption of Margaret marks their point of no return. 
    As hunger and madness consume them, the remaining family members turn on each other. Susan suffers psychological collapse, Paul loses his authority, and Peter becomes increasingly unstable. In the climactic confrontation, Peter murders his father before James, in a desperate act of survival, kills Peter with a kitchen knife. 
    Police Constable Miller discovers the carnage.

    I’m pregnant. Yep, you heard that right. Pregnant. And while I’m trying really hard not to freak out about that, Hollow Cove is busy preparing for its Headless Horseman reenactment—a big deal around here, apparently. But just as the town is gearing up for spooky fun, events take a real-life terrifying twist. A body is discovered, and carved into it are the words: “Give it back.” 
    Before I can even fully process the fact that I’ve got a tiny, magic-wielding bun in the oven, more bodies start showing up—the kind with creepy messages and a very dead vibe. Suddenly, Hollow Cove feels less like home and more like the set of a horror flick. 
    My aunts, badass witches that they are, seem to know more than they’re letting on, and the pressure’s on to figure out who—or what—is behind the murders before the whole town goes into full-on panic mode. Oh, and did I mention my powers are acting up at the worst possible times? Perfect timing, as always. 
    It’s a race against the clock to stop the killer, keep my baby safe, and maybe, just maybe, survive long enough to figure out how the hell I’m supposed to be a mom. Because in Hollow Cove, the monsters don’t wait—and neither does murder.

    The story I tell is from my own casino High Roller gambling experiences in the early 80s when casino gambling became legal in Atlantic City. At that time only Nevada and New Jersey had commercial casinos. Today there are 44 states with some form of casino gambling. Some states have commercial and tribal casinos. I’ve written “COMPED” as fiction because if I would have written as nonfiction, what is known today as the Gaming industry would have stopped its publication. That may sound like a robust claim, but after you read or listen to “COMPED” you will understand why. What I've written won't teach you how to beat the casinos it will teach you why you shouldn't try. It will also enlighten you on how we ended up with casinos in most of our backyards along with how a casino operator became our 45th president.
