Strange Doors is a collection of weird tales in the tradition of Tales of Tomorrow, The Twilight Zone, and The Outer Limits. All darkly imaginative authors—Edgar Allan Poe, H.G. Wells, A. Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling, Nathanial Hawthorne, Herman Melville et al—left collections of weird tales, so we are in good company.

Here are a dozen weird tales that will keep you awake all night with the light on—in a realm between day and night, between waking and sleeping, between thoughts and dreams. Reality is, after all, no different from how the moon shines with borrowed daylight—cold, silver, ominous, full of madness and terror, full of poetry and and wonder.

1. The Neighbors Are Different—a peeping Tom has an electrifying climax right out of this world.
2. The Firemen's Dance—an elegant young couple suffer autumn sadness, but never miss the annual dance in town.
3. The Marks on the Roads—ever wonder about those black skid makrs that appear suddenly on the road, and veer off into nowhere? They head straight into another world, beyond strange doors.
4. Susie—a child molester and murderer meets the ultimate victim, a strange little girl with a very sharp tongue, whose mind is elsewhere.

5. Petra—she was the love of his life, and when she fell ill, her fiancee and Dr. Meudon sequenced her DNA onto a popular song to preserve her; but something went wrong.
6. Three Tales of Parallelocation—the machine is a let-down. Equations are correct, engineering is perfect. Press the lever—nothing happens.
7. Six—an enigmatic creature, born in an otherworldly train commercial, living on a sliding timeline across centuries.
8. Angels Dark & Light—some people never make it to the other side.
9. Sad Lady Lake—a vacation turns into a brush with truth under the waters of moonlit horror.
10. Time-Crazy—Cara is a little patient suffering from the new disease of time craziness. Is she that mummy-like whisp lying immobile amid dreams, or is she soaring around the far-future sky scraper where her doctors share a drink.
11. Weola, KS—Now you see 'em, now you don't.
12. Being and Becoming—A man on the run from his past; make that at least two personalities, each trying to outrun the other.
