The Monster Inside Us

By Donna Galanti

In some movies and books the monsters are obvious. But are the monsters inside us? In my paranormal suspense, A Human Element, X-10 appears to be the obvious monster. He kills. He seeks blood and revenge. He has no remorse. Yet as we come to discover it’s a combination of his genes and environment, can we blame him?

Tormented characters: Love em’ in pain

By Donna Galanti
