Summary
If there truly was a Hell on Earth, Vincent had firmly found himself there.
He couldn't wrap his head around how his life had gone ass up; how he'd fallen so far from grace that he went from scraping the heavens with greedy hands, to crashing down, down, down into the deepest pit. He had been a god. Worshiped by the masses, adored in every American home, families gathered around the altar, eyes locked onto their televisions. Unable to look away from him.
Vincent had clawed and fought and murdered up the entertainment ladder, rung by bloody rung. Proved every rich executive wrong who dared to laugh at him, doubt him. He was the phoenix: transformed and reborn from the ashes of the bumbling, stuttering, weak weatherman, grateful for scraps. He was the voice of the people, who, with a righteous baptism, would usher forth a bigger, better, brighter future of entertainment.
And then, right on the precipice of ascension, his dreams shattered around him.

The year is 1952, and Vincent Whittman is sent to the Hazbin Lunatic Asylum for his safety and, more importantly, the safety of others. But Vincent will soon learn he's not the only monster stalking these halls... -

Summary
Vincent Whittman has been demoted. One of the best Crime Correspondents America has ever seen has been burdened with the amateur task of trekking down to Southern Louisiana in the vibrant, multi-ethnic city of New Orleans to personally investigate the harrowing murders that have been seeping fear and plaguing the local tight-knit community. So instead of dishing out executive orders in his gaudy office in Uptown Manhattan, he is forced to march down viscous, algae-filled and alligator-infested swamp waters with sticky pomade running down the back of his neck. The hot, humid and oppressive climate slowly eating away at his carefully curated persona of perfection, as a charming local Radio Host around him acts clueless.

The Life and Times of Airbase Speedway. by Christopher_C_Burnette

Summary
Airbase Speedway was a rather unremarkable footnote in the history of Greenville, South Carolina. It was a 1/2 mile dirt track on Antioch Church road, right in outskirts of town. It only existed for a few years before the owner, Luther Charles Hicks, lost it all as he couldn't pay his loan for the track, and tried to take another out under false pretenses. Thusly, the "fastest 1/2 mile in the south" shut down.
But, to the youth of Greenville, South Carolina, the story hardly ended there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This is historical fiction. This is not meant to be taken as what actually happened at this track. I'm simply imagining what could have happened.

Summary
Vincent Whitman and Alastor are portrayed as powerful rivals whose conflict begins as a distant media war between television and radio, but becomes far more personal when they discover they are alike in ways neither wants to admit. Vincent is cold, controlled, and exacting, using television as a symbol of visibility, perfection, and influence, while Alastor is theatrical, menacing, and deeply tied to radio, voice, and presence. Their rivalry starts through indirect insults and public performances, then shifts into a tense, private confrontation when they meet while burying bodies.
At first, they are repulsed by the idea that they share the same nature, yet that realization forces them into a strange intimacy. When they are pursued by police, Alastor kisses Vincent as a calculated act of deception, but Vincent turns it into something more, both a flawless performance and a deliberate way to provoke Alastor. Their physical closeness becomes a weapon, a test of control, and a sign that their rivalry has turned dangerously personal. By the end, neither of them has truly won; instead, their relationship has become more intimate, more volatile, and more threatening than before.
