Bøker av Jack Clubb

A new collection of short stories from the author of Obscure Reflections at Dawn.-There is a murder of crows flying over the graveyard. One such creature separates from the group and spirals downwards to land on a massive conifer. The blackbird squawked twice, seeming to direct our attention down. Far off to the left, up closer towards the building, a small gathering of mourners comforts each other amid flowers meant to convey joy. Though, they are only beacons of haste today. One man stood by like a baroque statue, unshakable in his reserve. Held in his embrace, was a woman in mourning. Like a thing carved, he gazed down at the gravestone with eyes wide and dark grey from wear.Let's move on. These moments are not ours to share in.In the same cemetery, and under the same azure sky, that lone crow regarded two brothers, both undertakers for the Sunset Hills Memorial Home, who were finishing up their break...Jack Clubb is the author of Obscure Reflections at Dawn and Promises Decay & Other Monstrosities. Besides writing horror and dark fantasy, he is an award-winning tattoo artist. While attending Denver, Colorado's first annual tattoo convention, he won best of show on the very first day. Jack lives in Granite City, Illinois.

An artist wakes up from his dreamy world to find himself lost in an unfamiliar reality. The only answers available are in the cryptic clues of a dead man.

These tales of human intrigue and folly are both compassionate and hilarious. The bachelor who is forced to marry to receive an inheritance, the woman who "e;fishes"e; for information about her friend's sex life, the little girl who dresses as a nurse and vaccinates her doll so her doll won't get the flu, the ambitious girl who plots to marry a man with money but ends up with a man who has nothing, the gossipy woman who gives new meaning to the words "e;fake news,"e; the couple who hides a million dollars in their furniture because they don't trust banks-all these people are chronicled here in stories that are filled with irony.Some of these tales are inspired by actual events, and Jack Clubb has read them at various venues in the Los Angeles area to great acclaim. There are people in this book that you will come to love in spite of, or perhaps because of, their strengths and weaknesses. They may even be the people next door.
