Now that you’ve met the man at the center of my Joker Joker Deuce psychological horror stories, let’s dive into a short picture of his past to see how he ended up this way. What his mother wanted wasn’t exactly what she got, and little Jeph noticed. A wedding day should be something a family …
Now that you’ve met the man at the center of my Joker Joker Deuce Halloween horror stories, let’s take a deeper look at his world and his mind.

October seems like the right time to introduce you to someone you might wish you had never met. His name is Jeph, and he’s the delivery driver at the center of my Joker Joker Deuce Halloween series.
