Boxes of Time: Stories by Jack Matthews (1 Review)    Price verified 26 minutes ago

Stories about messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. 11th Story Collection. Over his lifetime Jack Matthews (1925-2013) wrote over 200 stories, many of which were published in literary journals. Although stories varied widely in subject and style, they often could be described as urbane, philosophical, poetic and sardonic. Stories in Boxes of Time were mostly published between 1961 and 1981; they feature characters who are troubled or unsure of themselves trying to deal with life's usual disappointments. Stylistically, these stories are polished and carefully written, but they deal with messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. The characters may not be as educated or self-assured as the people in his other collections, but they still manage to figure out interesting things about themselves and the people around them. Stories from this period focus especially on the emotional stresses that separate parents from their children. This ebook contains 24 stories by Jack Matthews which have never been collected, making it the author's largest story collection. Matthews picked "Boxes of Time" as the title for this collection because each story reveals the drama of worlds long since gone but whose dreams and fears and anxieties still resonate today.

Matthew Rollins, an aspiring singer/songwriter, takes a job as caretaker of Kinnawe House in Agamenticus, Maine. The haunting begins immediately upon Matthew's arrival, when the ghost of his mother appears. Threatening, ghostly strangers stalk the property. The cellar is filled with mysterious, foul-smelling casks. And with each day, Matthew's insomnia gets worse. The story alternates between the present, as Matthew struggles with failing health and increasingly violent hallucinations, and the 1740s, as a dark preacher populates his town with a community willing to sell their souls for a comfortable life. Past and present come together as Matthew learns, little by little, of his family's ties to Kinnawe House -- and why the house will not rest until Matthew has taken his own life. Destined to become a classic of the haunted-house genre, The Haunting of Kinnawe House traces the destruction wrought by the preacher, Parthalán Kinnawe, over multiple generations.

Carstens' new high-octane legal thriller takes more twists and turns than a Monte Carlo Rally, right from the very public assassination of a black community leader through to the author's customary expert depiction of courtroom finesse. Top Minneapolis defense attorney Marc Kadella didn't so much "catch" this tricky loser of a case as it chased him down and tackled him. He could refuse to take it, but he'd be sleeping on the couch for the rest of his life. His client is the hapless son of a friend of a friend, a young man who landed an unlucky punch in a barroom fight and served a ten-year manslaughter sentence in Arkansas. Billy looked forward to a fresh start in Minneapolis under the watchful eye of his father's pal, Marc's investigator Tony Carvelli. But he soon learned he was expected to pay back the gang that protected him in prison by working for the local drug-running white supremacists. Oh - and a rogue FBI investigation team who are supposedly out to sever the drug pipeline would also appreciate his services as a mole. When a prominent black figure is assassinated, somebody makes sure it looks like the murder was perpetrated by the white supremacists - in particular, Billy. And somebody high up - way high up - wants the death penalty on the table. In other words - it's all but unwinnable. So it's all hands on deck, 24/7. Tony Carvelli, with his seemingly endless supply of contacts, will have to call in every favor he's owed. And, as always, Maddy Rivers, Marc's investigator and fiancée, will be called upon to teach a few guys a painful lesson in underestimating her. Stay tuned for great courtroom drama and a last-minute twist.
