The fifth of thirteen creepy tales of murder and mayhem on Friday the 13th…
Spoiled Milk by Robert Herold
Fun Facts:
Horror and science fiction often reflect society’s fears. Many works explore the notion of science and technology run amok. From Frankenstein to the Terminator franchise and beyond, we see a deadly side to science and technology.
Cloning is one such concern. You don’t hear much about it lately, but it’s real. Cloning holds great promise for medicine, agriculture, and many other aspects of society. For example, an Argentinian polo team all ride clones of a champion horse. But there’s a dark specter surrounding the notion of cloning humans. Might they simply be raised for parts? Is that ethical?
I have imagined the cloning of my main character’s infant son, a descendant of a long line of men raised to be sacrificed by a coven of witches. Now, with the clones, they could have an endless supply of these victims. “Spoiled Milk” follows the main character and his friends as they attempt to rescue the clones before the slaughter begins. The occult and science fiction merge in this fast-paced supernatural thriller!

A father races against time to prevent witches from slaughtering clones of his son.

Because of this, my son and I, and now my son’s clones, were at great risk. I learned the embryonic clones were being kept on ice by a witch who had also been a University of Washington professor of biomedicine. The professor was now dead, along with the other Seattle witches, but that didn’t stop the threat. Witches were everywhere…
