Dark, unsettling, and deeply human, Summerlands and Other Selected Works brings together five stories that explore the thin boundary between the known world and what lies just beyond it-morally, spiritually, and psychologically.

From the hardboiled grit of The Big Sneeze, where a down-and-out private detective stumbles onto a truth no one wants to believe, to stories of faith, obsession, guilt, and redemption, these tales confront the costs of belief and the price of looking too closely at what we fear-or desire-the most.

Whether grounded in noir realism, speculative dread, or quiet metaphysical reflection, each story stands on its own while contributing to a larger meditation on conscience, identity, and the moments that irrevocably alter the course of a life.

The collection concludes with Summerlands, a haunting reflection on love, memory, and the promise-and peril-of what may await beyond the veil.

Unflinching and atmospheric, Summerlands and Other Selected Works is a collection for readers who appreciate stories that linger long after the final page.
