Haunting tales of imagination and consequence that linger after the last page.
This collection, Three Tales, blends Gothic atmosphere with strange invention and human drama. It opens with a Boston ghost story set on a historic street, then shifts to a dark, science‑fiction drama of an exotic android, and finally follows a wartime moral test that binds a family and a nation. Each tale crafts mood and mystery, inviting readers to weigh memory, science, and devotion.

Excerpt from Three Tales: The Ghost; The Brazen Android; The Carpenter
A hasty memorandum, not particularly for Preface to the following tales, but to put on record my respect and affection for as sane, beautiful, cute, tolerant, loving, candid and free and fair-intentional a nature as ever vivified our race.
