Brad’s first Novel, ‘THE MELTING’ is a Horror story that stems from vengeance of the Dead. This is a truly original first novel and has been endorsed by Horror veteran ANNE RICE in her statement:
“Brad, Congratulations and all blessings on The Melting. You know the secret; it’s courage. We need you and your work.”
His second Novel, The Fictional Biography of a Warlock, called ‘TROPAES,’ is the story of a man born in 1822. With certain metaphysical powers, that develop with each year of his life. By his 28th birthday, he has acquired full power and ceases to age from that moment on. This story spans to his modern day, at the time of publication, which was the year 2005.
His third Novel is a non-supernatural murder mystery, called “DAMEN BRIAR.” It is the exposure of the dark and secret life of a man who, with no love loss between him and his estranged mother – were destined to bear responsibility for each other.
In his youth, an attempt to save the life of a classmate, left him brutally beaten and hospitalized. It was there he met his life-long confidant, Mandi Arbor. And when he died, a secret life of torment, revenge, and murder, would unfold.
Brad’s fourth book is the compilation of twenty-one of his short stories, the title ‘TENDRILS – Creepy & Crawly’ pretty well sums up the experience of those stories-
‘THE SIDESHOW,’ was his first short story accepted for publication by GRIMOIRE magazine. While another short story, ‘BRANDI AND THE TRENCH COAT MAN,’ was adapted to a screenplay by Film Maker Josh Allen and became the short film entitled: ‘EVIL WITHIN.’ It has since been taken to various Film Festivals from Louisville, Kentucky to Los Angeles, California.
His most recent novel is entitled, ‘THE DEAD MC’ It is the epic story, beginning in 1934, of an Undead Motorcycle Club. This is the first book in a series of three; each book crosses three decades in the un-life and existence of the club – all the love, death, excitement, and horror they carry and leave trails of in the wake of their path.
Brad has also put together an elaborate oversize book of his Poetry and Art, called, ‘MOMENTS & CLARITY – Poems, Prose, and Pictures by Brad Rieman’, suitable for coffee table display. A stunningly beautiful book with nearly two hundred works of writing, and nearly another fifty in paintings, sketches and art.
He is currently at work on Book two of THE DEAD MC, tentatively entitled ‘The Others.’
