A collaborative endeavor between artist-of-the-fantastic Alan M. Clark and author Eliza;beth Engstrom, this volume includes eight pieces of fiction and eight paintings. Clark illustrates four of Engstrom's favorite dark and haunting stories, and Engstrom "literates" four of Clark's disturbing images. "Crosley," one of the stories contained in this volume, was selected for inclusion in the 13th annual Year's Best Fantasy & Horror, edited by Ellen Datlow.

The Alchemy of Love

Clark, Alan M.

United States

Revenge! Private eye Revelations St. Jones is nothing if not dedicated to avenging the death of a loved one. But life is never simple in his world, and as usual, he finds it difficult to sort the friends from the enemies. Is hard living beginning to catch up with him? Here are the continuing adventures (sequel to The Bold Stroke) as St. Jones gets right with himself, his god, and the bastards that killed his girl. A funny irreverent adventure for grownups, in which St. Jones swears to settle the score once and for all.

The Sly Pass

Shannon, Barry

Literary

When it's brought to the attention of private eye Revelations St. Jones that his name and a secret code has been printed on fortune cookie paper and inserted into every bag of a recent shipment of Colombian cocaine, he slips immediately into survival mode. Deftly working both sides of the street, St. Jones is friend and foe to both pillars of the community and the bad guys, and sometimes not even he can tell which is which. Dodging bullets from every professional angle as well as from past love interests, St. Jones discovers the grander side of what life has to offer besides fine women, good dope and transcendental sex.

The Bold Stroke

For a decade, writers have been congregating at the misty, mysterious Oregon coast to write ghost stories at the annual Ghost Story Weekend. The agenda for the event is simple: Write a ghost story during the weekend. Naturally, the topic of conversation runs to the universal mysteries, as well as to the confession of fears. Each writer must be creative on demand, and invoke those thoughts, feelings, speculations and spirits that combine to make a good story. And in the end—though many refuse to believe it upon arrival—everybody completes a ghost story by the end of the weekend. And every writer there learns something new about his/herself in the process. 
In this anthology of twenty stories, you will read what scares these writers. There is something in these pages for everybody, from the retooled urban legend to the sweetly sentimental to the horrific. We have haunted castles, haunted mirrors, haunted boathouses, haunted houses, haunted train tracks, haunted woods, and to be sure, haunted graveyards. 
So light a candle, cozy down and get ready to explore the depths of your own ideas of death, and beyond.

On the Fringe : And Other Uncommon Tales of Golf

Barton, Gregory G.

This is a sensitive yet eclectic mix of stories, essays and poems inspired by Rome and written in Rome by 40 writers on Retreat. Stories deal in great measure with the stuff of Rome: ancient artifacts and their ghosts, the romance that permeates the air, the exquisite food, the Church, the memories of loved ones passed, the stuff of being a writer in such a sensously rich locale. Stories were inspired by the gypsies, nuns, catacombs, pickpockets, the ubiquitous dogs and feral cats, tourists, the open-air markets, the gathering places, the way the ancient ruins coexist side by side with modern architecture. Rome is a place for the imagination to run free. The Invitation: Come to Rome. Leave all expectations behind. Bring only your writing materials, an open mind, and an open heart. The Challenge: To write provocative stories, essays, and poems on demand, on deadline, ready for editing and publication. The Result: Pronto! A smorgasbord of tasty tidbits revolving around an ancient city that breathes life into souls, stirs the emotions, and allows the fanciful to merge with the remarkable. Stories, essays and poems, inspired by Rome, written in Rome, by Elva Adams, Susan Agee, Dorothy Allison, Kathleen Antrim, Olivia Barbee, Mary Ann Brock, Terry Brooks, Joni Brotherton, Carolyn Buchanan, Judith K. Clements, Barbara de Normandie, Phillip Dibble, Robin Gainey, Christopher Haviland, Octavia Hudson, Ann Klein, Adrea Mach, Diana Rowe Martinez, Kathryn Mattingly, Brian Moreland, Larry Mulkerin, Myrna Murdoch, Bill Neugent, David Nutt, John Oglesby, Sandra Loera, Mark E. Prose, Marie E. Reid, Janette Ressue, Sandra Richardson, John Saul and Mike Sack, Jack Smith, Mark Sylvester, Eldon Thompson, Coco Tralla, Leah Tribolo, John Tullius, and Suzanne Tyrpak.

MOTA 3: Courage

The fourteen literary short stories in this volume focus on ordinary people and the extraordinary moments in their lives. Maggie Morgan Doran draws the fine line between heroism and cowardice with a talented hand and a forceful voice. Her stories illuminate the hard-scrabble strength and the shaming weaknesses of people from the shady streets of America's small towns and once-elegant neighborhoods. Her neighborhoods. Our stories.
