Dark Fiction Writer, C.D. Allen

Maledemia: It's from the Latin and Greek, 'mal' (malus, Latin), meaning 'bad' and 'dema' (dein, Greek) means 'to bind'. I suppose a formal definition, thusly, is "to bind the evil".

There are living nightmares out there. They are real. They hide in the shadows. Some people refer to them as The Unseen, but just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there. They hide behind the acts of men and women, everyday people who are trying to survive in today's world. They hide equally with the sane as they do with the insane. They are everywhere.

If you think you know reality, then you don't know how many perceptions of it are out there.
