My contribution to the volume is "Ghost in the Rear-View." The story is solidly set here in Providence Rhode Island. It’s more than a haunted car story, to which the title gives some hint. It’s a nifty story inspired by a line in the Jim Steinman song by Meat Loaf "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer than They Are." My story focuses on the appearance of a ghost in a guy’s car and moves towards the answer of why she began appearing there whenever he drives past a highway-side graveyard, as can be readily seen by people heading northbound on I-95 just pas Branch Avenue.
It is one of the favorite three short stories I have written. Originally the publisher planned illustrations for the stories, and mine was the first one chosen by the artists for some of its haunting imagery. The illustrations, unfortunately, were later omitted from the publishing plan.
The anthology features some other good writers I have encountered before and promises some great stories. It’s a must-have addition to the bookshelves for my three fans and anyone who enjoys ghost stories.
