Short stories for those who don't read them…
  • An aging, ex-musician working inside the incinerator chamber of an old 19th century hotel discovers a locked room that contains a Book of Souls of tenants of the past century.
  • A soldier returning from the Iraq War meets a beautiful and enigmatic girl waging her own military campaign, as darkly terrifying as the one he left behind.
  • The son of a New Orleans mobster hit-man receives a beyond-the-grave message from his once-abusive, now-dead father that changes everything he thought he knew about their lives.
  • A homeless man, collecting cans to survive, finds himself being followed by a stranger he is sure is the reincarnation of Dick Tracy.
  • A woman who has lost her Texas ranchman husband and any further meaning to her life, is suddenly contacted by a young runaway cousin whose parents are also dead, and is now in hot pursuit of her own aimless existence.
  • A young American soldier newly stationed in Cold War Europe encounters a German girl as mysterious as she is beautiful, and, he soon learns, as deadly dangerous as the atomic missiles bunkered into the surrounding pastoral hills, facing east.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully crafted series of short stories - READ THESE!

    A great series of short stories from a talented and skilled author. Each story is different, and each has it's own tone. Wonderful writing from Mr. Snyder. I was sorry to finish the series - they were totally entertaining. It's nice to see craftsmanship, skill and a great use of language to set a tone/mood work so well together.

    A BIG thumbs up to James Snyder. I'll be looking for more of his work.

    Unique sampling from a unique period. One sensed looking over the author's shoulder at events more significant than the matter-of-fact way the characters relayed them.

    Really liked these stories walking a tightrope between realism and speculation, with fascinating characters facing critical challenges.

    This is a collection of stories, each one unique and fascinating. So developed was each, I found it delightful as if I had a number of short books. It was a very satisfying read. The language is clean and there is no untoward violence but all are adult themed.
