Two Chapters Left!

Wed Nov 28, 2012, 9:16 AM
The prompt for Chapter 7 has been revealed:

Artists, Writers, Poets. Through artistry and words command and focus this intense narrative for the final two chapters of our story to be published next year. Best selling author *CliveBarker will continue to guide us through the final passages and incredible visuals as we head toward the end of our story. Join the Collaboration!
Is Paul’s final scream the sound of his soul being released?
Can he have an existence outside of his corporeal being, outside “nothingness?”
Or is this spectral plane the only reality to the trusted – the only viewing platform offering a truly objective view?

ONLY TWO(!!!) chapters left, and still we don’t know the possible parameters of the alien invasion. Obviously, in chapter 7, being the penultimate piece of storytelling, all consequences and secret alignments of forces must be revealed. And the set-up for the gut-grating, mind-mulching climax of the final chapter. Paul must be forced to put all his chips on “Maya” or “none of the above.”
So here we are at Chapter Seven of our story. Calling all storytelling individual geniuses!This is the final push before total revelation. This is the Odyssey’s siren call to Greatness.


There is still time to get involved and help carve out Paul's future! Illustrators we are still looking for incredible artwork to marry with the plot and poets, there is still time to make your contributions to the beginning, middle or end of the book poems.

It's not too late to get involved in the Odyssey and join us and *CliveBarker on this epic journey but time is running out quickly!  Watch #ODYSSEYPROJECT and start submitting your contributions now!




Get caught up in the Odyssey, here's the story thus far:



The Host With the MostPaul staggered out into the early morning fog like a drunkard.

He hunched into the raised lapels of this too-thin jacket and  wandered away from the hotel, disoriented, shivering--panic gnawing at his gut like a cannibal.  "I need help," he thought, "but where?"  The nearest hospital was the obvious answer, but the thought of what the doctors would do filled his mind with images of hospital beds with straps, extended isolation with no answers and needles piercing his flesh.

The mass on his thigh was growing--that was certain.  Paul could feel it writhing and pushing against his flesh as he walked.


Dreams of the DeepPaul's whole world was spinning.  The Proxitol made it incredibly difficult for him to think clearly. Maya? Yes, her name was Maya. She had told him it would only be a few days, that the thing inside would dissolve.  She'd been wrong, and she'd been surprised that she'd been wrong, not that it mattered. Resting his head against the cool porcelain of the toilet in the cell he called a room, Paul
could almost laugh about how this all seemed like some ridiculous dream. But the pain, the disorientation, and the feeling of...something inside...assured him it was anything but.

The growth had started spreading again, but it was different this tim


Techno-Colored PsychosisPaul's eyes came into focus just as Maya walked into the room, but something was different about her. Her face looked sunken and her eyes seemed glazed and black. The whole of the roomed looked as though it was changing color, flipping from one monochromatic scheme to a neon rainbow and back again. Paul began to pant and panic as she drew near him, he'd never been so terrified. He crawled away into the corner of the room, shivering, barely catching his breath, twisting his head back and forth as he flinched at every shadow.

“Paul? What's wro-” Maya 's jaw dropped at the sight of Paul's transformation.
