The closet swallowed his little sister. It really did. And yet, a year later, after it spat her back out, Elmer Warde must lie: I imagined it. I am insane. This, after people suspected him of kidnapping his own sister. And after they accused him of trying to murder her. This is the ironic aftermath of a horror story that gets "solved": the loved ones of the missing person (now missing no more) face a fallout. Elmer's only hope of staying in touch with his little sister seems to be the insanity defense. But must he settle for a sort-of-happy ending, or can he hope for a happy ending?

Made of cold metal? smooth plastic? fragile glass? Throw it away. Even when it takes a human shape. Live long enough, you see all kinds of heartless things happen. Sometimes that's done in the name of convenience. At other times, loftier ideals such as elderly welfare take center stage. Does everyone believe in that sweet charade? Probably not. Is that solace enough? Absolutely not. So, one old lady vows to never become part of the stinking world that takes replaceables for granted. How to prove that she's succeeding? By saying farewell in a special way.

A life of purpose, a life of use. It's a blissful state of certainty. But even that magic can't last forever. In Seoul, the never-sleeping metropolis of blinding lights, a figurine awaits the sorceress's calling. It is an other-self figurine, meaning, it exists for a single purpose: to become the sorceress herself when she wants it so. But one night, the figurine finds itself stuck in its mundane shape. The magic died. And with it, the figurine's use died. So did its purpose. Or does uselessness have a purpose, after all?

Like entering the home of an old friend, Return to Holly Cottage is a second collection of stories from the beloved 1878 stone farmhouse, otherwise known as “the house that hugs you.” Located in Canada’s southern Georgian Bay near the famous Bruce Trail, Holly Cottage was a beloved country Bed & Breakfast frequented by fascinating guests and surrounded by quirky neighbours. Some guests were looking for love, others for a bit of peace and quiet. One particularly memorable Italian-speaking guest was “looking for a bear.” Charmed by the beautiful gardens, pristine natural surroundings, and caring hosts, guests returned to Holly Cottage over and over again. Readers, too, will return again and again to these smart, wryly funny, and deeply touching stories.

St Pauls, Bristol. 1980. Joseph Tremaine Ellington, now 57 years old, has long abandoned his former career as an enquiry agent for the safety of teaching. But his old life draws him back. One of the very few lights from Ellington’s dark and violent past has flickered out. His fiance Ruth Castle is dead – leaving him again heartbroken and alone to bring up his fifteen year old niece, Chloe. Ellington’s days are long and lonely, his nights tormented by old ghosts. When the wife of a locally respected Baptist minister vanishes into a seamy, dead-end world of users and abusers, leaving behind both her own family and a critically fragile premature infant daughter, Ellington is asked if he can help find the woman. Joseph is determined to keep his distance from the dangers of the Bristol night. But his inescapable obligation to an old friend, a man he deeply respects, keeps bringing him back like a moth to a flame.

From out of the grave. London, 1888: Agatha drags herself from a shallow grave to roam the fog-shrouded streets of the dark city, trying to piece together what happened. Her new friends, the ladies of the night, live in terror of Jack the Ripper, while Agatha persistently searches for what she discovers she needs to stay alive—electrical charges. As her memory grows stronger, the hazy images from her past come into focus, but questions remain. Do her answers lie in the shadows of the streets, the hidden corridors of London Hospital, or someplace far more frightening?
