Publisher's Synopsis
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something... grue?
Welcome to a different kind of marriage, a morbid union of strange stories with evocative narratives-where bizarre is beautiful, death is an old friend, and twisted creatures skulk in the shadows. An engagement over a year in the making, Jack of all Trades is a collection of dark fiction with a more literary bent, a celebration of the eerie and eloquent tales of yesteryear. A wedding of words. From Victorian England to the Wild West frontier; from familial strife to a nationwide threat; from the innocence of youth to the cynicism of experience-the seven stories contained herein span concepts, continents, and centuries. Jack of all Trades features the following fictions: See No EvilA Victorian novel of death, intrigue, and forbidden experiments. Her First TimeA short story of seduction in the heartland of post-WWII America. Psycho KillerA short story of mass murder in the City of Angels. Riding the Ghost TrainA short story of addiction and regret in the Appalachian Mountains. The StowawayAn alliterative drabble of savagery on the high seas. The Sentimental EndingA short story of dark discovery in the snowy peaks of Norway. A Frontier HauntingA novelette of spirits and six-shooters in the Wild West.
