On a Sunday morning in 1910 Gerald Dury rose up and exacted his revenge on the town of Bradley Kansas. His revenge was complete, devastating, and intractable. "Patient 444" is a collection of stories by J.M.Lamoreux written in a powerfully mystical way lifting his work out of the mainstream and placing in in a category of "magic reality" unique in the Horror genre. "Patient 444" includes stories about an unseen "pet" that guards a shed and finds its life in the twisted heart of an old man, a haunted gym that is guarded by a lonesome ghost that embodies a world of sadness and when provoked, animal rage, a ghostly encounter in Donner Memorial Park by a drug dealer attacked by an invisible pack of wild animals, the revenge of a woman murdered in a mall bathroom, the resurrection of a murdered wife in a "Water Master's House" in the Sierras, and more...much more.
