Reader Reviews:
"...unique perspectives and wonderful and horrible possibilities. Definitely take this one on vacation for reading around the campfire." -Sandy Penny
Ten Dark Journeys Beyond the Boundaries of Reality
The universe is not only stranger than we imagine-it is stranger than we can survive.
Ghosts whisper from abandoned places. Dinosaurs walk modern streets. Monsters wait behind familiar faces. Scientists unlock doors that should have remained sealed forever. In the ruins of tomorrow, humanity struggles beneath the weight of its own ambitions, while somewhere beneath dark waters, a whale sings a song that transcends species, time, and understanding.
Synaptic Overload by R.W. Van Sant is a collection of ten haunting tales that blend sci fi horror short stories, grimdark fantasy horror, and weird fiction short stories into a single unforgettable experience. These stories explore science gone horribly wrong, chilling supernatural encounters and ghosts, unsettling meetings with monsters and strange creatures, and the bleak landscapes of dystopian horror fiction.
Dark, imaginative, and thought-provoking, each story invites readers to confront the unknown while discovering moments of wonder hidden within the shadows. Perfect for intelligent readers who enjoy fiction that challenges assumptions, sparks curiosity, and lingers long after the final page.
Enter the darkness. Embrace the impossible. Discover Synaptic Overload today and experience ten stories that will haunt your imagination long after the last word is read.

About the Author
RW Van Sant is a lifelong writer, seeker of knowledge, and author of the recently published novel Scales and Feathers: A Desert Dinosaur Beach Party-a satirical, science fiction thriller romp set in the wilds of New Mexico.
RW enjoys writing in the fields of dark supernatural fantasy, supernatural thrillers, and thought-provoking science fiction, focusing on socially conscious, detailed world-building and mind-bending, character-driven stories, because he finds pursuing social consciousness and responsibility in a modern, realistic setting mundane, boring, and frequently overdone. Dark fantasy, horror, science fiction, satire, and supernatural thrillers are more his style, especially if his readers learn something while along for the ride.
Drawing on his lifelong pursuit for higher education and many misspent years practicing archaic medieval skills, RW utilizes his knowledge of history, science, and political science as a novelist for world-building and creating realistic, character-driven storylines. His previous novels include a diverse range of settlings, genres, and plots including Unity Captives -a dystopian science fiction adventure with a strong social justice message, Teller's Cove-a supernatural horror with Lovecraftian undertones, the I-Factor-a mind-bending supernatural thriller set on a distance colony world, numerous short stories, roleplaying game books, and educational materials, including lesson plans.
He has a strong interest in space exploration, having taken classes in astrophysics, along with researching cryptids, myths and legends, the supernatural, and, of course, sea monsters.
When not writing, RW indulges in his hobbies of puppy pampering, graphic arts, and mediocre guitar playing.
