Just wanted to let everyone know that The Holocaust Opera has finally been published. It was a long and convoluted road, but it’s done. Anyone interested can go to Lulu.com and do a search, or go to my site: http://markedwardhall.com and click on The Holocaust Opera book cover and it will take you directly to an info page.

The Holocaust Opera is a collection of dark tales which includes two novellas; The haunting of Sam Cabot and The Holocaust Opera, plus seven short stories.

Below you will find a brief synopsis of some of the tales that make up the collection.

The Holocaust Opera: A Nazi war criminal returns from the dead in order to exact his unique brand of genocide upon an unsuspecting world.

The Haunting of Sam Cabot: A young family man spends his summer living with dead things as he slowly regresses into madness.

The Rain after a Dry Season: A drifter has been brutally murdered in the Landers’ barn, and when they begin to suspect their own little girl of the crime, they must come to grips with the true nature of the child and the extent of her influence over all their lives.

BugShot: A man who fears wasps buys a new brand of insect spray in an attempt to rid his overrun barn of them, but discovers that he likes the taste of the BugShot as much as the wasps do.

The Nest: Babies are disappearing from their cribs at night. Alden is convinced that the disappearances are connected to that eagle’s nest over on the island. His wife thinks he’s crazy, until their own child disappears.

The Comfort of a Stranger: Danielle is drawn to the ruins of an ancient cathedral where she meets a stranger who helps her to see the truth of her existence and offers a dark kind of deliverance from her sins.

These dark tales and others will keep you on the edge of your seat as you travel along the convoluted highways and byways of “one of the most vivid imaginations of our time.”
