He is also the Editor for Black Freighter Productions(www.welovereading.com). His writing idols have always been Stephen King, Jim Morrison and Dax Riggs. He strives to have his stories to the depth of King's writings, but usually always staying within the (somewhat) boundaries of (mostly a brutal) realism...and spiced with dark, subliminal( but non rhyming or paced... and metaphorical) poetry... such as that of Morrison or Riggs... along with graphic Horror imagery, such as the great Horror films of the seventies(...and three of today..The directors' cuts of ....”Murder-Set-Pieces , “August Underground” and “The Devil's Rejects”)... and always with a center core (hidden) theme. To him... “if you're going to make or write Horror...make it something that will always be burned into the witnesses' or viewer's eyes and minds... months or even years after viewing...or reading it...like true Horror...and terror... should be...Not only do I want to just SCARE the reader...I want to SCAR them...”-J.H.   Also available by Jason Hughes:   NOVELS:   H(D)eadlines by Cacoethes Publishing House   Coming Soon:   ...With the BANNED: A Complete Guide to All that has been BANNED or CENSORED...Throughout History and Around the World   ANTHOLOGIES:   Moral Horror: Virtuous Horror Stories By Black Freighter Productions (Editor)   Nightshocks: Flashes of the Macabre (Author)   COMING SOON:   Welcome To Endsville: Population Zero   The Final Evictions of Graywall Monument
