Summerlands and Other Selected Works (Paperback)

Paperback. Dark, unsettling, and deeply human, Summerlands and OtherSelected Works brings together five stories that explore thethin boundary between the known world and what lies justbeyond it-morally, spiritually, and psychologically. From the hardboiled grit of The Big Sneeze, where adown-and-out private detective stumbles onto a truth no onewas meant to discover, to eerie tales of faith, obsession, guilt, and redemption, Cariola's writing delves into the unseen costsof belief, the dangers of desire, and the moments whenreality bends beneath the weight of conscience. Whether grounded in noir realism, speculative dread, or quiet metaphysical reflection, each story lingerslike a half-remembered dream and contributes to a largermeditation on identity, and the momentsthat irrevocably alter the course of a life. Unflinching and atmospheric, Summerlands and OtherSelected Works is a collection for readers whoappreciate stories that linger long after the final page. This item is printed on demand.
