Featured Works
This collection of a dozen short stories—nine previously anthologized plus three stories exclusive to this edition—spreads across the spectrum of speculative fiction and represents more years of my career than I care to count!
In my story, “The Case of a Christmas Past,” Holmes and Watson investigate a murder that may only be a nightmare—or a decade-old memory triggered by A Christmas Carol!
Two more short novels in Volume 2 of Tales of the Weird World War. Monster encounters are increasing and spreading, with incidents as far apart as Tokyo in 1954 and small-town Minnesota in 1955. Plus two bonus short stories!
