It has been nearly fifty years since that phone call, and with many of the family members have moved on or passed away, it remains a stain on Texas History that has been covered up with live music and Barbecue. Sadly, there are no markers of remembrance or talk in Pasadena or surrounding areas of what would become known as the Houston Mass Murders, but occasionally a show of the Lost Boys will pop up. Usually, every time the house on Lamar Street is listed for sale, raising morbid curiosities of wanting to be near a place where so many murders took place or a parent of one of these children passes away hoping that their long lost son will meet them at Heaven's Gate. As you weave through the twisted tale of paranormal horror and demonic vengeance, take a breath away from the fiction within these pages and love those around you. Pray for those that have had their children's lives stolen from them by the real evil of the world, and if you have had a life touched in such a horrible way, the author's prayers are with you and your family.The Vale may be familiar to some readers from the woeful expression vale of tears, which casts the world as a place of sorrow and difficulty. It is the slipstream where some lost souls are found between waking & dreaming, life & death, and heaven & hell. "Call the world, if you please, "the Vale of Soul-Making." Then you will find out the use of the world...." John Keats, London, England (b. 1795 - 1821)
