the Highway That leads Beyond World

There are moments when our lives are darker, more mysterious, and more terrifying than our normal daylight consciousness teaches us to expect.This is the premise behind the short stories collected in this new volume. These immaculately constructed tales immerse the reader in a familiar reality and then maneuver him quietly, step by step, into a nightmare. From the glimpse of a neighbor moving behind a lighted window at night to an encounter with a silent stranger on a deserted country road, the stories presented here take us from the world we know to the shadowy one that lies beyond.James Ulmer's expert management of narrative pacing in The Highway That Leads Beyond the World brings all his tales to a satisfyingly grim conclusion.
