'Future Ghost' and 'Speedin' Bullet' are the two initial volumes of Jack Grant's extensive novel 'The Screamin' Skull Trilogy', belonging to the horror fantasy series, 'The Infinitude of the Sentient Singularity'.
The series begins with 'Future Ghost'. A young lady looking for inspiration on a Scottish moor finds instead a gothic nightmare with her only chance of salvation lying beyond the mortal realm.
This is followed by 'Speedin' Bullet'. In stark contrast to the previous instalment, the reader is transported to the barren scorched landscape of Old Ozzaria. 'Speedin' Bullet' relates a dystopian future, in which a man driven by revenge attempts to survive a deadly tournament that will push him to his absolute physical limits while testing the extreme voracity of his inner steely resolve.
The thread running throughout each volume touches upon dualities and the very definite living of double lives. The story also examines and brings into question conventional customary attitudes as compared to contemporary ostensible politically correct ideologies. These stories, rooted in spiritual knowledge while being interspersed with humour, highlight the strength of human defiance against adversity. Illustrations by Conrad King.
