On the flip of a coin, people die around Sin. Escaped from a lunatic asylum and haunted by his dead sister, he must find out why, and discover who is trying to use his power to destroy everything and everyone.*****Dead, dead, dead. Say it enough times and it becomes just another word. What would you do? Could you kill a killer? Does the death of one appease the deaths of a hundred? What about that hundred against a thousand? What if you had no choice? Meet Sin. No, not that sort of sin, but Sin, crazy as a loon (you ask Sister Moon), and proud of it. Sin locks himself away in an asylum and, every so often, badboy he's believed to be, gets violent. That's only so they'll give him those nice drugs, though. The ones that help him forget. It's a pity they don't work. Sin, you see, has a serious problem. Well, it's not so much his problem, as ours - yours, mine and everyone else's. People die around Sin. He doesn't like it and there's nothing he can do about it. But someone else knows, and Sin has to stop them... and himself...

Dark Psychology and Manipulation

Dark Psychology and Manipulation

2,640 81 10

This exploration of dark psychology illuminates the shadowy arts of persuasion, influence and manipulation. We unravel techniques like reciprocity, emotional coercion and cognitive biases that sneakily sway human minds. You'll gain practical skills to defend against manipulation, including critical thinking and detecting logical fallacies. We grapple with the morality of influence, asking difficult questions about power and ethics. Such knowledge demands maturity and wisdom. Used judiciously, these methods can forge understanding rather than division. But uncontrolled, they risk corrupting society. True influence means improving lives, not exploiting weakness. By studying our vulnerabilities, we gain self-mastery and resilience. Understanding these mental forces helps us transcend darkness and summon the light within. This sobering yet vital journey reveals much about the human condition.…

#1 in "characterstudy" January 2024#4 in "innerstruggle" January 2024Sequel to Wandavision, Multiverse of Madness and my own Avengers: Incursion War. Nothing is as it seems, everything is as it seems, something is wrong, nothing is wrong... The truth, what is truth? But a concept that slowly loses all meaning, in the heart of a shattered mind.Suspense/Drama/Fantasy/Action/Adventure/Character StudyThis is a continuation of my highly praised story called AVENGERS: INCURSION WAR. Reading that book is a necessity in order to be fully immersed in Wanda's journey and how she got to this point. It was a deep character driven redemption story so if you love Wanda, you will NOT regret reading that book. It also takes place after my Midnight Suns book, where Wanda was also present. This is the 3rd story in a connected saga. The saga is compiled into one large story, called the secret wars saga. It begins with Avengers: Incursion War.The second is The Midnight Suns. There is also a short called Fading Away, set in between Wandavision and Multiverse of Madness, acting as a prelude to the saga. It is not essential to read fading away or midnight suns, however midnight suns adds some context and clues.This is a mix between script and novel format. Expect certain cinematic elements.Synopsis:After the events of "AVENGERS: INCURSION WAR" and "The Midnight Suns", Wanda Maximoff is living a peaceful and fulfilling life with her family while doing everything she can to make the world a better place and be the hero she was destined to be. However, the world does not see it that way. She is constantly plagued by constant episodes of anxiety and nightmares from her past... and a lingering presence beginning to haunt her day and night.
