Memoirs of a Dilettante is a collection of reminiscences, following Helena Hann-Basquiat, a self-proclaimed dilettante who will try anything just to say that she has, and her twenty-something niece, who she has dubbed the Countess Penelope of Arcadia, in their off-beat antics in such places as common as the local McDonald's or the comic book store, to their travels to Miami for the search for the perfect Cuban sandwich.

There are rumours that I keep a writer trapped in my basement... but I assure you... Jessica is and always was here of her own free will. Until one day she disappeared, and I began to realize that everything I thought I knew about her was wrong. Everyone has a terrifying story about Jessica B. Bell. Some of them are even true.

Jessica B. Bell is not real. A couple of years ago I started writing horror stories and Jessica was born. I had fun creating a twisted and ominous biography for her, painting a picture of some crazy hermit who lived in my basement and wrote stories on old parchment using her own blood for ink. But she was never real. ------ An unspeakable act of violence leaves the residents of Ward C, home of a secret experiment, dead - torn apart. There is only one survivor... What happens when the creation surpasses the creator? How far will Jessica go to be real? Find out in SINGULARITY.
