Description
The curtain that separates the living from the dead is never as impenetrable as we think it is. What would we see if the two worlds intermingled? Angels? Demons? Wonder? Fear? In this compilation, some stories are inspirational. Some are macabre; but all will give you a glimpse into what is Beyond the Gossamer Veil.
Advance Praise

Do not read these in the dark... alone... with the light off...
If you love a good ghost story, then you have to check out this collection of stories. Each one is sure to send a shiver down your spine! If you are easily scared, then this book is one that you want to read in full daylight. I loved these stories! Each one has its own element for the supernatural, and each story is perfectly crafted for maximum jumps and gasps.
Settle down for some fun! It will be hard to pick your favorite story!

Good collection of short stories about life and death and the supernatural. They range from war stories with supernatural elements to tales of dark magic and horror, to ghost stories and hauntings. A couple stories were lighter and more introspective, while others were pulse-pounding thrill rides. And nothing like your unsuspecting victim who starts out in an everyday circumstance, only to find themselves on an express elevator to hell, figuratively speaking. Enjoyable read.

This was a really good read! I enjoyed this collection of scary stories. I must say that my favorite was the last one. I will try other books by this author.

Beyond the Gossamer Veil is a collection of short stories centered around ordinary people with encounters of the extraordinary kind, set in various time periods (post US Civil War, Victorian England, present day Middle East) and different genres - mystery, horror and thriller. Among my favorite tales:
"Memento Mori" - set in Victorian England, wherein a pair of policemen investigate a seemingly ordinary double murder that turns out to be something entirely unexpected
"The Delivery" - told though a hidden journal entry of a young courier entering an manor house on a routine delivery that crosses the boundaries of known science
Many of the short stories could expand into full length novels, as I wanted to learn more about the backstory (and aftermath) of the ethereal beings that may or may not be of this world.
