THEN is composed of four stories prior to the mid 1930’s, three of which are set in Victorian England with an inquiry agent at the time of Sherlock Holmes. The last of the four is the story of a miner looking for work in the coal mining fields of Kentucky during the Great Depression of the 1930’s.NOW is also composed of five contemporary stories.

Two more involve ordinary people thrown together by circumstance and hard luck with unpredictable results, while the final story of this group is one of far-off Pakistan and good intentions gone astray.WHENEVER makes up the last three: macabre, nightmares of horror that visit in dreams on the darkest of nights when we are alone with our own demons. Dreams that one hopes will never be repeated…
