Doug Brown and his characters are children of the twentieth century who find themselves hurtling toward the twenty-first. You'll find in his collection of twelve short stories a diversity of genres: horror, sci-fi, detective, dystopian fantasy, comedy, romance, slice of life, magical realism. But if you start to think you've pegged him to a genre, watch out. This collection takes you on a magical mystery tour renewing - nay, subverting - nearly every genre it engages. What you may not notice is the subtle accretion of elements of place, time, and local flavor. You, the reader, raise your head from the page to find that you are in a new world that feels like it has always been right there.

Sample his style that has been dubbed "New England Gothic" and described as "Yankee Flannery O'Connor." These stories are as ambitious as hers, as funny, as casually violent, as allegorical, and as graced. The allegories are invisible to the casual reader. The stories are deceptively simple.

Be brave. You won't regret it. About the Author Doug Brown is in no way your typical author.

Doug holds degrees from Carnegie Mellon and Penn State and now calls western Pennsylvania home.
