    About this ebook

    "Summer" portrays a young girl confiding in her psychiatrist, Dr. Richardson, about a series of murders that she has committed. Could Dr. Richardson be next?

    "All Doubters Welcome" is set in the height of the belle époque of “life-after-death.” Harry Houdini plans to publically debunk renowned medium, Mina Crandon, in a failed attempt to contact his deceased mother. Does hope spring eternal or will skeptical Houdini find what he is truly looking for?

    "Grave Robbery" portrays the struggle of a young woman haunted by the memory of an ex-lover who provokes her to dig up the past in a moment of desperation. Will she succumb to the incubus or refute temptation?
