FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?
Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.
Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.
Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.
This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.
And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

The Summoner of Darkness:
A Day At Witch Pond & Fleeing To The Forest
"This inspires some memories for me."
"Eh?"
"The Swamp of Death."
"Aye. Ya does nae want to be going back there."
"I killed BeaLuna."
"I know."
"She was a ghost all this time."
"Aye."
"And Bullgaar?"
"Him were a nzambie. It why him never talked."
"I didn't mean to kill BeLuna. She showed up after I killed the Moon Elves. I... I ... she walked up behind me and ... I don't know what happened. I can't remember. She was my best friend. I never would have hurt her. Gnomes don't live that long. I didn't notice. Three centuries went by. Gnomes only live two or three hundred years. They're not long lived like Elves. I got there. Back in the Deep North, a few days after leaving the Screaming Unicorn Tavern, and there's a Human village built up there now. It's like the Moon Elves never existed. And BeLuna was there. Still there, right where she had been when... I ... I ... killed her. But I didn't notice. She was a ghost. And she started following me. Followed me every where. I couldn't get rid of her. Why didn't I know she was a ghost?"
"Ya was in shock."
"But I'm a Necromancer."
"Aye. And that be why ya could see her when, most no one else could."
"Did you see her?"
"Aye. I is dead too, remember?"
"Do people see you?"
Unicorn stopped chewing grass. Quaraun was asking hard questions now. Looking at a truth that he didn't want to see. A truth Unicorn knew eventually the poor Elf would have to face.
"Ya talk to people no one else sees, Quaraun. It why they think ya insane."
"People couldn't see BeLuna and Bullgaar, could they?"
"No."
"Do people see you?"
"No. Not many."
"Why do I see you?"
"Does it matter?"
"People talk to you."
"Do they?"
Quaraun stared at the Phooka.
"Don't they?"
"Quaraun, the world ya see... it ain't the world every one else sees. Yis one what found me when I died."
"You killed yourself."
"I know. I did. Un ya loved me a lot more dan I knew. Drugs killed me un damaged you. I does no tinks ya realized how much ya has changed. Yis were quite different when I was alive. Ya was no a drug addict when I was alive."
"I needed to bury the pain."
"I know. I should no have done that to ya. Ye should no have been de one to find me like that."
"You took so much poison. It desolved your organs. You drowned in your own blood."
"I know."
"I wanted to die with you."
"Someting happen to ya when I died. I had a lot of stuff in me candy shop. Ya took a lot of it day I died. Ya took too much of too many tings all at once. I does no tink ya remember. Ya tried to kill yaself, day I died. Ya head not right no more. People ya see, they ain't always there. People ya talk to, they ain't always saying what ya t'inks they is. Ya is insane, Quaraun."
"I'm not insane."
"Ya has a Thullid in ya head, eating ya brain. It making ya see un hear t'ings no one else does. ZooLock there, him understand. Him were Elf once. Him real. He can help. I t'ink he wants to help. He really does like ya Quaraun."
"Are you real?"
"I is a golem ya built."
"Why did I do that?"
"Because yis was very lonely. Ya people did bad t'ings to ya. They tortured ya un then they wounded the Phooka that protected ya from them. His wound did no heal. Him suffered many months. Then killed himself when him could take de pain no more. Ya could no face his death. He was the only one who loved ya. Some t'ing broke inside ya head when he died. Ya ain't been right since."
"Are you real?"
"Aye."
"How can I tell?"
"We are soul bound, remember? Ya poor, sad little Elf. Ya bound ya soul to a Phooka."
"You died."
"I know, but ya brought me back. Some of me. My soul is broken. I is Lich. Emotions be fleeting. I is only one part of what is left of ya Phooka. His soul is cut up and put in 13 bottles all across de world."
"If I found all of the phylacteries and put the pieces of your soul back together... would that restore you back to who you was?"
"Maybe. I does no know."
The trio stayed on the hill overlooking the swampy pond for more time then any of them kept track of. Neither Quaraun nor Unicorn knew how to count, and ZooLock just wasn't paying attention to the sunsets. He was too busy eyeing the sick Elf and worrying about the damage that might have been done to the JellyFish eggs he was sent to guard.
And yet, not one of them knew, what it was that had caused the Elf to become so ill that day on the road to Witch Pond. Oh why, he grew sick again, worse then the first time, a few days later, preventing them from continuing on their way.
The poor Elf was wracked with hallucinations that grew ever more frightening with each passing day. His inability to tell reality from illusion grew worse.
But all was planned... back in the future, many centuries away from 1458, Gremlin knew... as horrible a thought as it was... GhoulSpawn must die, if Gremlin was to ever be born... and to do that, Quaraun must no longer be fully aware, of what he was doing, where he was, or what e was seeing.
Gremlin sat in 1974, in his red armchair, patting his sheep with one hand, and staring down and the pink sugar cubes he held in his other hand. He knew the danger he had put Quaraun in, when he handed the sugar loving Elf, the box of drug laced candy. Gremlin ate one of the sugar cubes and closed his eyes. He knew all too well what LSD did to one's mind.
And so back in 1458, the days passed as one long blended horrific nightmare, for Quaraun and his friends who watched in horror as the Elf lost full control of his senses and were clueless as to how to help him.
As days not counted passed, the Elf finally began to recover.
"This is a nice place," Quaraun said quietly, looking around at the area around Witch Pond, seeing it clearly for the first time since they had arrived.
"It is," Unicorn agreed.
"So quiet," Quaraun said dreamily. "And peaceful and relaxing and..."
The Elf suddenly stood up, his long thin ear perked up high over his head, listening for danger.
"What ya hearing?" Unicorn asked.
"People. A wagon's coming."
Unicorn sniffed the air. "Humans. I can smell tem."
"There's a turtle in the road."
"Is there?"
"They'll kill it."
Quaraun jumped up and started running down the glade back to the road.
"Hey! Where is ya off to?"
"Got to move the turtle out of the way of the wagons," Quaraun called back.
"Ya crazy Elf. Get back here!"
Unicorn stood up and followed the Elf. He wasn't in any hurry, so by the time he reached the road, Quaraun was standing in the middle of the road, yelling at the band of Humans and refusing to let them pass until the giant snapping turtle had finished crossing the road.
"Thought ya was gonna move the turtle?" Unicorn asked.
"It's too heavy, I can't lift it and it's a snapping turtle. Pick it up wrong it'll bite your hands off."
"That a damn big turtle," Unicorn said, looking at the giant snapper. "Would take five people to lift her."
Quaraun went back to arguing with the Humans while Unicorn watched the turtle slowly make it's way across the dirt road, towards the swampy Witch Pond. The turtle was so big that it wasn't possible for the wagons to fit by without hitting it.
"I does no remember an island in the pond earlier," Unicorn said. But no one was listening.
The Humans with the wagons were in a hurry to get to where ever they were going before nightfall and did not want to wait for the turtle and suggested the turtle would make a good stew for tonight's super, which in turn sent the vegetarian Elf into a fit of hysterics.
"Quaraun..." Unicorn tried to talk to the Elf.
Quaraun now had his wand pulled out and was threatening to kill the Humans if they killed the turtle.
"Quaraun?"
"Not now."
"Now is good time."
"I'm busy!"
"Un I is hallucinating wid ya now."
"What?"
"Uhm," Unicorn said, trying to get Quaraun's attention. "The island is moving."
"Islands don't move," Quaraun sputtered, not paying attention to Unicorn as he glared at the closest Human and pointed his wand in their face.
Unicorn took a few steps back, staring up high above them.
"Ya right, it no island."
A large shadow went across the road.
"Quaraun. We needs to run."
"What? Why?"
Quaraun turned to face the pond, just in time to see a giant turtle, big as a house, rising up out of the water, on her way to the shore to protect her baby.
"Oh dear!"
Quaraun didn't have a chance to say any more, before Unicorn grabbed his arm and ran off the road towards the forest.
"We needs to get to da trees, it too big to pass t'rough 'em."
The Humans were screaming and yelling and instead of running, drawing swords and arrows to battle the beast. Quaraun looked back into to see the massive turtle open it's mouth wide and scoup up a wagon filled with Humans and swallow it whole.
"It just ate them!"
"Yeah, well lets get oot of here before it eat us."
ZooLock, who had been watching all of this from the meadow ran into the forest to catch up with Quaraun and Unicorn. The Elf stopped to catch his breath.
"What if the Humans follow us," ZooLock asked.
"What if they do?" Quaraun said, gasping for air. "I am so out of shape."
"They was pretty mad at you for making them stop, if any of them survive that turtle beast, they'll blame the deaths of the others on you."
"Good point."
Quaraun stared at the swamp's deadwod trees towering above him.
"Don't let them follow us," the Necromancer said to the trees.
Instantly every dead tree in the forest, uprooted itself and went marching off towards the Humans. The Humans worked frantically to drag their wounded from the pond's edge and avoid being eaten by the turtle, as the forest began to eat their dead.
"Great!" Unicorn said sarcastically. "And now if any survive they will just kill ya no questions asked."
"Come on," Quaraun said as he turned and walked deeper into the forest. "The more distance we put between us and them the better."
"What if some of them Humans survive?"
"They won't."
"What if they do?"
"They won't. The trees will eat them if they try to follow us."
"So what happened to all ya, live and let live, harm none crap?"
Quaraun shrugged.
"I'm a Necromancer. Besides, they're Humans. I'm an Elf. My job is to protect nature from Humans." Quaraun stopped walking and stood thinking for a moment.
"Thought Humans was part of the nature ya Elves was supposed to be protecting?"
"You're right. What happened to me? I'm evil. I didn't used to be evil. I don't want to be evil. What's wrong with me? I just sent dead trees to eat people. I shouldn't have done that. Why did I do that?"
"Because they was heavily armed highway men who would have hunted us down and slit our throats had ya not done it."
"That doesn't make it right, what I did. I shouldn't have done it. Let's go."
"Is ya feeling better?"
"No."
"I does nay, know how to help. Iffy I knews what ya took. I maybe could gives ya someting to counteract it."
"I told you, I didn't take anything."
"I know. But ya got someting in ya system somehows. Maybe ya touch someting. Ya know how ya always picking flowers. Maybe one were super toxic."
"Or maybe ZooLock poisoned me."
"Oh no, My Ladyship!" ZooLock immediately answered. "I was sent to protect my Ladyship, not hurt her."
"I'm not a 'her' or a 'she', will you stop calling me that!"
"Yes my Ladyship."
"Stop calling me that too! You're annoying me, ZooLock."
ZooLock went back to his sullen silence.
"Would him hurt ya?" Unicorn asked.
"He's a Thullid. They can't be trusted."
"Yis a Thullid."
"I'm a Spawnling. That's different."
"Is it?"
"Yes."
"Perhaps we can figure out what ya eats.I first notice ya acting off in de field of poppies. But it had to be in ya long enough to do dat tos ya. Sos ya could not has eatten anything there to done it. When dids ya first start not feeling good?"
"I don't know. I can't remember. The last few days are all melted together. I can't differentiate one from another. I can't tell what actually happened and what didn't."
"Well, de turtle actually happened. I saw that hallucination with ya. Unless what happening to ya, now happening to me too."
"Could it?"
Unicorn shrugged.
"We Fae, tings toxic to most others, is no toxic to us. Or, it take longer to has effect."
"Great. So ZooLock could have posioned both of us and it would effect me days ago and only just start effecting you."
"Aye. Or de turtle is real."
"It was as big as a house."

Volume 11: The Summoner of Darkness
Back from the dead, once again with Unicorn in tow, and now with the Thullid priest ZooLock his prisoner shackled in chains, Quaraun is headed back to The Screaming Unicorn Tavern in Old Orchard Beach, but finds himself cursed with endless bad luck, as one thing after another drops out of the sky in his path.
Highwaymen, hellhounds, a turtle as big as a house, fire breathing butterflies, a train station from the 20th century, and a strange glow-in-the-dark demonic wizard with pockets full of sheep, who sits in a red armchair in poppy field in the 1400s reading 1980s spellbooks books by Gary Gaygax.
Quaraun goes head to head against The Gremlin, a time traveling wizard from the future who refuses to allow the Pink Necromancer back into Old Orchard Beach, where since his last visit, an evil Sorcerer named HellBorne has erected a giant cursed lighthouse known as The Black Tower.
ZooLock however has other plans, and while 4 rival wizards tear up the town in a wizard's duel, the Squid Headed Aliens From Neptune's Moon and their armies of JellyFish worshiping cultists arrive in town to preform a ritual that will unleash an Elder Brain Chaos Demon, known as The Sacred Pink JellyFish on the world. Too bad they didn't know she was already in town.

Quaraun is a character I play in Dungeons & Dragons. Like most every other novel in the series, this novel is based off the notes taken from an actual game play session. The Summoner of Darkness is based off the Dungeons & Dragons Campaign: The Murder of the Seven Points by Erik Yaple. If you are a Dungeon Master interested in running a game using this story, the game guide used is this one here --->>> |

Did You Know?
The Summoner of Darkness is the first time The Gremlin, EelKat, Lyxiana, Bela, and Spriggan (all characters from the original 1978 edition of Friends Are Forever, Volume 1 of The Twighlight Manor Series) make appearances in The Quaraun series.
While most of the Quaraun series is written with Quaraun as the only point of view character, EelKat, the primary point of view character of the Twighlight Manor series, alternates with Quaraun as a point of view character in Summoner of Darkness.
The novel tells 2 stories side by side, with all odd numbered chapters telling Quaraun's version of the story in the 1400s, and all even numbered chapters being written as letters from EelKat in the 1980s to her sister Lynxian.
EelKat is a 4th wall meta breaking narrator.
Answering Reader Questions:
GhoulSpawn's Sheep Explained
A staple in every story that features GhoulSpawn, is his glittering technicolour herd of sheep, that gather around him to listen as he reads Dungeon's & Dragons manuals, while sitting in a red armchair, in the middle of some field.
I own the red chair, btw, which you see me sitting in in my BookTube videos while I read. You can see it in this video here:
The 2 most common reader questions asked about GhoulSpawn are:
- What the hell is it with the sheep? They don't serve any plot point and seem to be there for no reason at all. What the hell?
- Does GhoulSpawn have sex with his sheep or not?
The first story to feature Gremlin as a main character was The Wild Years, published in 1987. In this story he is a member of PETA on a mission to shut down Procter & Gamble, after encountering a local sheep farm that supplies lambs for Iams dogfood. In the slaughterhouse on the farm is a conveyor belt, onto which baby lambs are herded, then dropped into a grinder where they are chopped up while still alive.
If you have a stomach strong enough to view such things, you can see BOTH the Proctor & Gamble animal by-product grinder and McDonald's hamburger making grinder in this video here, which shows it being used on baby chickens and baby cows.
(The chicken grinder shown in this video is P&G's Iams dog food processing plant and the cow grinder seen here are Mcdonald's hamburgers be made for you.)
Please be warned, this anti-war, human rights, and animal rights protest video shows EXTREMELY GRAPHIC real life footage of poachers, slaughterhouses, human trafficing, KKK attacks, beheaded ISIS victims, and children killed by landmines.
VIEWER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED!
Back to GhoulSpawn, the series' resident uber extreme animal rights activist...
This was a very real farm and a very real machine which I had seen when I was 8 years old, and was the reason I became an animal rights activist and a vegetarian. This aspect of GhoulSpawn's character, his being a vegan animal rights activist with a vendetta against P&G is based off my own life. (If you did not know, I am the founder of the real world Procter & Gamble Boycott and many of the Twighlight Manor books were written specifically for the boycott, thus why a character like The Gremlin took centre stage.)
Readers came to know that if Gremlin was in the story, so too would be references to the evils of Procter & Gamble, Iams dogfood's horrific sheep grinding machine, and mysterious disappearing sheep, along with his random ramblings against McDonald's, Burger King, and other giants in the animal abuse industry.
Unfortunately for GhoulSpawn, he's often rambling on deaf ears, as Quaraun, Unicorn, and others from the 1400s, have no way to comprehend the future atrocities being described by the time traveller. The reactions of people from the 1400s varies from thinking GhoulSpawn is a raving lunatic (thus why he is dubbed "GhoulSpawn the Crazed") to people understanding that he has seen something which has horribly upset him and feeling pity for him, but not really being able to understand exactly what he is talking about.
And then, when he can't get people to listen to him, he starts pulling sheep out of his pockets, not realizing that back in the 1400s he's surrounded by superstitious people who view magic, Wizards, and such things as evil sorcery and people practicing them as witches to be burned and destroyed. As a teenager from the 1970s, GhoulSpawn has as much trouble comprehending the 1400s mind as they have comprehending him.
As no one but GhoulSpawn can get anything out of or even see anything in his pockets, he can safely stuff sheep in his pockets and then innocently stand there while people run around like mad trying to figure out where all the sheep are disappearing to. He'll stuff another sheep in his pockets every time no one is looking and will continue to do this until the entire herd is gone/in his pockets. At which point he'll then jump back in his 1974 AMC Gremlin, fly back to the 1400s and set the sheep loose in green pastures.
GhoulSpawn has a particular affinity for Cotswold sheep, and his habit of stealing/rescuing sheep and taking them to the past, is used as an explanation for why Cotswolds were so very overpopulated in Medieval times, yet today are considered an endangered species.
Over the years it became a running gag in the series for other characters to bully and tease Gremlin claiming he had a sex fetish for sheep. However, GhoulSpawn does not have sex with his sheep and often seen deeply upset over the accusation. Because most people in the 1400s do not believe GhoulSpawn is a time traveller from the future, they say that he made up his story of rescuing sheep from "the gambler" to cover up habits of beasillity. Quaraun and Unicorn remain two of the only people to believe GhoulSpawn's story as he has taken them to the future and they have seen the things he speaks of for themselves.
The reason for GhoulSpawn's obsession with sheep, is a secret he rarely reveals and is known only to his closet friends: while the series often bills him as a half-Elf, leaving people to assume in also half-Human, is is rather instead half-Demon, specifically he is an Uruisg, which is a Scottish Sheep Demon, a man with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a Cotswold sheep.
In keeping with the actual Irish, Welsh, and Scottish folklore about Uruisg, GhoulSpawn is somewhat of a trickster and causes chaos to ensure whenever he is around. Also like the actual folklore he is a notorious thief and pickpocket, compulsively unable to control his urge to simply pick up and take every shiny object he sees.
Who Is GhoulSpawn?
This is the first time GhoulSpawn appears using the name GhoulSpawn. In previous volumes he was using the name Glinta instead.
In the Twighlight Manor series he is known as The Gremlin.
Quaraun's teenaged lover GhoulSpawn is a "natural born" Sorcerer. He is a half-Elf/half Demon.
GhoulSpawn's father was an evil Demon who commanded an army of Ghouls. Because of this, he was known simply as "The Ghoul".
GhoulSpawn's mother was a Sun Elf whom had fallen in love with The Ghoul, but was forbidden by her family to have contact with him. She in turn ran away with her Demon lover, thus causing a war between Elves and Demons.
The Sun Elves tell a story of how their Princess was kidnapped and raped by the Ghoul, thus she gave birth to the Spawn of the Ghoul. Though his mother named him Glinta, she died while he was still very young, and his Elven kin, took to calling him GhoulSpawn as a way to brand him not one of them.
GhoulSpawn is an interdimensional time traveller, because he is unable to remain in any one time, place or dimension long, because he was born in the Hell Dimension, which exists outside of the realm of time and space as we know it. The Ghoul tried to escape the Sun Elves by going to the distant future (1974) and leaving his half-Elf son and the boy's mother there to live among a band of LSD addicted hippie Humans whom drove a 1974 AMC Gremlin.
The Sun-Elves eventually found their missing she-Elf and brought her back to the 1400s where she belonged, but she refused to leave her half-Demon son behind.
After his mother's death, GhoulSpawn was made a servant to his High Elf step-father and full blooded Elf step siblings, all of whom abused him and treated him like a slave. He grew up constantly being told he, because he was only a half-Elf, was unloved and unwanted and should have been killed at birth, resulting in the very low self esteem he has.
Neither Demons nor half-Elves are considered welcomed members of society, both being forced to live in small tribal groups on the outskirts of civilization. Both are often stoned to death or hung if they dare set foot in a city.
GhoulSpawn being both a Demon and a half-Elf is doubly mistreated by the majority of the world's population. He takes to travelling with Quaraun because Quaraun simply accepts GhoulSpawn as he is and is not bothered by being seen in the company of either a Demon or a half-Elf.
There are several instances when people try to bully GhoulSpawn and Quaraun (a high ranking full-blooded aristocratic High Elf) is quick to stand up for him, protecting and defending the half-Elf. Quaraun is often classified by other Elves as "insane" simply because he is willing to be friends with a half-Elf.
GhoulSpawn has a speech impediment which lessens when he is relaxed and grows worse the more nervous or frightened he becomes.
Around calm laid back characters like Quaraun, GhoulSpawn speaks without difficulty. However around domineering, headstrong, or bullying characters such as Unicorn or HellBorne, GhoulSpawn develops a stutter, making it difficult for him the get to the end of a sentence.
Because he is a Demon, GhoulSpawn was born with natural magical abilities, making him a rare "natural born wizard" or sorcerer.
GhoulSpawn is typical of a Sorcerer in the Quaraun series, in that he has Demon blood, was thus born with a Demon's natural ability to cast magic on some levels, has taking to self-teaching himself how to control the magic powers he was born with, is outcast from society because of his link to Demons, and is generally not well thought of, even though he is not in any way evil, and is in fact the only part of the cast who could be considered anything close to being a Hero.
Being a time traveller, there are times when Quaraun encounteres both GhoulSpawn and his future counterpart Gremlin in the same novel.
This is the first novel in the series to feature multiple versions of GhoulSpawn in a single novel.
GhoulSpawn remains one of the most hated and most loved characters in the series. People who dislike him, absolutely despise him and have gone so far as to request I remove his character from the series entirely. While people who love him, often cite him as their favourite character and often request I add him into more stories more often.
For the people who don't like him, I'm sorry, but he remains one of my favourite characters of the series and he's not going anywhere.
For the people who want to see more of him: there are plans to make changes to several stories in the series to include him in the future editions, more often.
