The Dark Is Light Enough for Me.
From dark speculative fiction author John Claude Smith comes a powerful debut collection comprised of twelve intricate tales of bittersweet madness, twisted desire, and souls in crisis. Exploring the deepest realms of the human-and not so human-condition, each masterfully crafted yarn brutally ravages the thin veneer of reality as we know it, expertly exposing the human psyche's desperate need to survive at any cost.
Occasional Beasts
Occasional Beasts: Tales features fourteen stories, four never before published, exploring the landscape of love and transformation, of desire and damnation, of unleashing the beast within, or encountering the beast of another made flesh, including gods made monsters in the eyes of deranged acolytes, and even the unflinching revelation of one's true self, be it beastly, otherworldly, or the most horrific beast of all: Man. We are all Occasional Beasts...
Autumn in the Abyss
When enigmatic poet Henry Coronado disappears six months after the New Year's Eve, 1959, Welcoming Chaos event, he takes with him a profound secret wrapped within the words of his poem, Autumn In The Abyss. Fifty years later, an ill man's research into Coronado's work and life reveals that poetry can indeed change the world, or leave it in ruins.

Riding the Centipede
Private Investigator Terrance Blake spends most of his days shadowed by an event from his past, while dismantling the lives of those driven by the masochistic need to confirm the lies they deny are cold, hard truths, until Hollywood socialite Jane Teagarden calls him for only the third time in years with news on the whereabouts of her runaway brother, Marlon. Marlon Teagarden has been a ghost for ten years, traveling through the underbelly of society as a means of blotting out a past allegedly rife with child abuse, until he is chosen to Ride the Centipede, leading to the ultimate experience, courtesy of literary translator of languages and drug-infused visions from inner and outer space, William S. Burroughs. Just your average road trip chase through the dark frontier of addiction and alternative realities gone sideways. Not quite. Also along for the ride, at the behest of a mysterious employer, is a nuclear-infused force of corrupt nature, "some kind of new breed of human and radiation, a blotch, an aberration, cancer with teeth." Allow me to introduce you to Rudolf. Rudolf Chernobyl. Let the games begin...

The Wilderness Within
The forest is alive. While visiting fellow writer, Frank Harlan Marshall, Derek Gray senses a palpable dread within Frank's house and the forest that surrounds it; a subtle, malignant sentience. What should be a joyous event, as they await the surprise arrival of a long-lost friend, comedian "Dizzy Izzy" Haberstein, is fraught with unease Derek does not understand. Derek's confusion is upended by the chance meeting with musician Alethea, formerly of Dark Angel Asylum, a band that dropped out of sight once the leader, Aleister Blut, ended up in an insane asylum. As their relationship blossoms, Derek's disorientation at the hands of the forest manifests as his world turns sideways...and one of Frank's fictional creations--a murderous monster named Average Joe--gains foothold in the surreal, psychological terrain. As the worlds of reality and fantasy meld, what transpires bounds from deeply profound to pure madness.
Symphonic Warm-Ups - BB Clarinet 1
Claude Smith's contemporary approach to teaching technique, tone and style is written in a variety of keys and meters and is divided into three sections: I. Scale Studies II. Etudes III. Chorale Studies. The etudes and chorales are in progressive order of difficulty so bands of all levels can find appropriate starting places and progress from there. It's the perfect way to begin every rehearsal.
Guardian of the Sky Realms
Maree Webster--an almost-emo from the western suburbs of Sydney--hates school, has few friends, and is obsessed with angels and fallen angel stories. Life is boring until she decides to steal a famous painting from a small art gallery that has been haunting her dreams: swirling reds, greys and oranges of barely discernible winged figures. There, she meets a stranger who claims to know her and stumbles into a world where cities float in the sky, and daemons roam the barren, magma-spewing crags of the land far below. And all is not well--Maree is turning into something she loves but at the same time, fears. Most fearful of all is the prospect of losing her identity--what makes her Maree, and more importantly, what makes her human. Guardian of the Sky Realms takes the reader on a journey through exotic fantasy lands, as well as across the globe, from Sydney to Paris, from the Himalayas to Manhattan. At its heart, it is a novel about transformation.
