About this ebook
John 5:4 is the mystery verse of the Bible! In some versions of the Bible, the verse is there and, in some Bibles, it is not. Why is that so? Exactly who or what is the mysterious stranger? The Quiet Stranger in the Black Hat returns in an exciting new set of fantasy adventures laced with heavy religious overtones. This time around, the stranger enlists allies to assist him in his quest to subdue evil, and when despair hits and hope is almost lost forever; he intervenes in order to change the course of people's lives for the better. This collection of two novellas, a novelette, and a short story, captures the true essence of Paul John Hausleben's most mysterious character. However, this time around, the author provides the reader with subliminal clues as to the stranger's true identity.
The first story, 680 Kilohertz is a novella where crime and fantasy mix. An old radio and television repairman, near the end of his career and his humdrum life of running his repair shop, becomes anything but humdrum when the mysterious stranger drops off an antique radio for repair. A radio that not only broadcasts news and events from the future but also changes time when it does so. When the repairman hears a news broadcast of a horrific event broadcasted over the antique radio, the old repairman and a police detective friend are both caught in a tangled web of good versus evil and a heart-racing mission to stop the horrific event in time.
The second story is the novelette, The Fig and the Thistle. When the quiet stranger pays a visit to a corrupt and evil religious televangelist, to show him the error of his religious ways and to crumble the evil empire, the stranger does so with two missions in mind. Not only to destroy the corrupt religious empire, but more importantly, a little boy's life hangs in the balance.
Echo of a Requiem is a short story about an elderly tailor--a proud and talented craftsman of custom men's business suits, who is down to his last gasps in life. Everything goes wrong for him. His wife passes away, he loses his job, and he is down to his last dollar and in desperation, the tailor takes a backbreaking job at a local supermarket. Hope seems lost until the old tailor shares an amazing encounter and a few words with the stranger.
If Only for a Pause is a novella of crime and fantasy mixed. Mark Holiday is a geeky, but brilliant video gamer with the gaming handle of, "Winterkill." Mark also happens to be the world's greatest professional video gamer and the owner of a successful and lucrative video game empire. One night, when Mark inexplicably decides to take a break from his introverted world of video games and venture into the real world, he encounters the mysterious stranger and meets a lovely young woman, who he instantly falls in love with. Mark's life takes an incredible turn when the stranger gives Mark a remarkable gift. Mark receives the gift of a super power that enables him to pause the world for ten minutes. Just as he can in a video game. It is then that Mark realizes the stranger's gift is for Mark to assist the stranger in his quest to defeat evil, and Mark realizes that above all, it is to save the life of the woman that he so dearly loves.
Once more, this remarkable collection of stories by the master storyteller makes us wish that the Quiet Stranger in the Black Hat really were hiding in the shadows while on a mission to bring hope and joy into our weary world.
Paul John Hausleben
Way back in time, when the dinosaurs first died off, at the ripe old age of sixteen, Paul John Hausleben, wrote three stories for a creative writing class in high school. Enrolled in a vocational school, and immersed in trade courses and apprenticeship, left little time for writing ventures but PJH wrote three exceptional and entertaining stories. Paul John Hausleben’s stories caught the eye of two English teachers in the college-preparatory academic programs and they pulled the author out of his basic courses and plopped him in advanced English and writing courses. One of the English teachers had immense faith in Paul’s talents, and she took PJH’s stories, helped him brush them up and submitted them to a periodical for publication. To PJH’s astonishment, the periodical published all three of the stories and sent him a royalty check for fifty dollars and . . . that was it. PJH did not write anymore because life got in his way. Fast forward to 2009 and while living on the road in Atlanta, Georgia (and struggling to communicate with the locals who did not speak New Jersey) for his full-time job, PJH took a part-time job writing music reviews for a progressive rock website, and that gig caused the writing bug to bite PJH once more. He recalled those old stories and found the old manuscripts hiding in a dusty box. After some doodling around with them, PJH decided to revisit them. Two stories became the nucleus for the anthology now known as, The Time Bomb in The Cupboard and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul. The other story became the anchor story for the collection known as, The Christmas Tree and Other Christmas Stories, Tales for a Christmas Evening. Now, many years and over thirty-five published works later, along with countless blogs and other work, PJH continues to write. Where and when it stops, only the author really knows. On the other hand, does he really know? If you ask Paul John Hausleben, he will tell you that he is not an author, he is just a storyteller. Other than writing, among many careers both paid and unpaid, he is a former semi-professional hockey goaltender, a music fan and music reviewer, an avid sports fan, photographer and amateur radio operator.
