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.
