"Taibhse": From the Spring 1996 issue of Terminal Fright. A lonely Irish expatriate confronts some very old, strange hauntings late at night in the bar where he works. This story was on the preliminary Stoker ballot. (Reviews)

Melancholia, old Irish animosities, and beautiful illuminated manuscripts abound in this Sherlock Holmes story told as if by Theodore Dreiser trying very hard--and failing--to write like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (89 cents.)

"The Case of the Ancient British Barrow":

A Sherlock Holmes story too shocking for Watson to tell during his lifetime--and perhaps too controversial even now. (85 cents.)

"Halfen House":

There are surprising perils in adopting strays. You never know what you might be bringing home....

"Alindra":

In the premier issue of Elysian Fiction. A gentle tale with an unexpected bite, about clear vision and enduring love.
