I Close My Eyes in the Dark is a collection of eclectic short stories, memories, one poem and other life thoughts. They are all about looking for the positive in every life situation. When we look, humor often presents itself. Each short story is a life experience that in some situations are dire. But a change in attitude changes everything and permits one to see the ‘up’ side of life. Sometimes the insight and awakening will seem absurd, sometimes profound. I’ve heard it said that one’s life is what one’s thoughts make it. I agreed and therefore live with the vision and if there is so much negative in life and in our experiences, then there must be an equal amount of positive. One cannot exist without the other. It is the heart that matters.

With haunting prose and deft psychological insight, Averil Dean spins a chilling story that explores the dark corners of obsession—love, pain and revenge. Ten years ago, someone ruined Alice Croft's life. Now, she has a chance to right that wrong—and she thinks she's found the perfect man to carry out her plan. After watching him for weeks, she breaks into Jack Calabrese's house to collect the evidence that will confirm her hopes. When Jack comes home unexpectedly, Alice hides in the closet, fearing for her life. But upon finding her, Jack is strangely calm, solicitous…and intrigued. That night is the start of a dark and intense attraction, and soon Alice finds herself drawn into a labyrinth of terrifying surrender to a man who is more dangerous than she could have ever imagined. As their relationship spirals toward a breaking point, Alice starts to see just how deep Jack's secrets run—and how deadly they could be. "Crisply written, wickedly suspenseful….[Alice Close Your Eyes] reads like a dark, sensual nightmare, and it is the reader who won't want to close her eyes until all of the book's tantalizing secrets are finally revealed. Don't miss it." —David Bell, author of Never Come Back and Cemetery Girl
