Date Published: 11-15-2025
Odyssey Pruit paints pictures of the ghosts and spirits she saw in the halls
of an old hotel where she worked ten years before. GUY HOGAN doesn’t
believe in ghosts. Hogan is hired to guard Odyssey’s pictures for her
first art show in the same old hotel. When an early blizzard closes the roads,
knocks out the power and telephone, Hogan is trapped in the hotel with
Odyssey’s quirky fans. When imps and ghouls make their presence known,
Hogan questions his doubts, and the answer could be murder.

in a windswept, dying town on the eastern plains of Colorado. In his short
story Belthanger, readers are given a glimpse of a 1950s small town, soon to
be bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System, and the drama that unfolds
on the town’s darkened streets one night. The BootHeel is a
coming-of-age tale of a teenage orphan and an aging gunman as they follow a
treasure map into Mexico as the nineteenth century draws to its end.
