Profit Margins

Profit Margins is a thrilling blend of conspiracy, horror, and psychedelia where a private detective answers a call and falls into a plot that may consume him, and everything he cares for. In 2030, a scarred America is flooded with a new drug known only as Dream. Nobody can quite remember when they first started using, but nobody who tries it ever stops. Why should they? It's the greatest thing ever, and has no side effects. Right? At least, that's what those who take the drug tell themselves, and when our intrepid detective starts to have Dreams of a consuming labyrinth and men of static, he realizes the depths of the pit he has been flung into. Stephen Vaughn is an alien living, writing, and making music with the humans who are all unaware of his alienness. As a small green child he developed a love of creating elaborate stories while he played, first with action figures, then with swords and wizard staffs in his backyard. Unbeknownst to him or the rest of his family, also aliens living and conspiring midst the human populace, this early love of storytelling turned into full blown obsession with writing. The works of humans such as Cormac McCarthy, Chuck Palahniuk, Mark Z. Danielewski, Stephen King, and William Peter Blatty informed in him a strange mixture of wanting to be a popular writer, but also having a penchant for the weird, surreal, abstract, and down right odd with a little bit of help from David Lynch, and Alejandro Jodorowsky. This odd little alien was exposed to the world on June 6th, 2016 when his first book M. I. N. D. was released, a book about memory manipulation and conspiracies and hopes to continue on blowing minds for the rest of his life here on our pale blue dot.
