I Do So Worry For All Those Lost At Sea is the long-awaited short story collection by eccentric writer/artist David Keyes. "The story of a ghost, and the girl that haunts him...."Ghosts are haunted, girls fling themselves out of windows, wolves are cartographers, hares are pornographers, mermaids are rescued from carnival sideshows and everyone drinks cocktails and comments on the moon. Collected here for the first time are eleven short stories and a novella, The House of Sleep. Each story a slight variation on reality, each its own weather system, its own logic, surreal, beautiful and haunting, all recorded in Keyes' melancholic style.This, the second edition, contains a new, secret chapter and The Five Cocktails of Mr. B, a book of recipes.

"The impressive first in a historical series, which effortlessly alternates between Washington, D.C., in 1862 and the same city 95 years later...this debut shows definite promise." --Publishers WeeklyNo one noticed anything suspicious about the death of a wounded soldier at the height of the Civil War--not, that is, until almost a hundred years later.In 1957, a young Washington, D.C. police sergeant, Ben Carey, heads up a team of officers in a dilapidated house three blocks from the Capitol. Though Carey's career is on the rise, his marriage is circling the drain, and as he spends more time at the office, he discovers there is something not quite right about this decaying old home. It harbors some dark secrets--connecting him to the long-dead soldier and others in ways he can't understand. With his personal life in shambles, and forces from within the house vying for his attention, Carey casts reason aside and begins an investigation to uncover the truth about what happened in this haunted place. As he peels back the layers of history, he finds courage and love, but also deception, greed, jealousy, and murder.Twisting through time--between an America torn by Civil War and the prosperous 1950s--Murder Bay is a mystery that spans eras and the gulf dividing what can and cannot be explained."Very nicely done...Recommended." --Library Journal"An involving, period-perfect story. The action is fast-paced and convincing...the characters are expertly drawn." --Foreword Reviews

Blind in One Eye: A Story about Seeing the Possibilities

Blind in One Eye: A Story about Seeing the Possibilities

Where was my brother, the one born seven years before me but kept by my birth parents? Was it really possible that, after the lifetime I'd spent wondering about him, he was the guy a friend had just seen on the subway - the one who supposedly looked like my older twin? Finding my brother would soon feel like a na ve goal. His secretive and frightened parents had far more to hide than I could have imagined, and they had worked hard to maintain the elaborate facade of an ordinary family. Breaching their defenses would trigger events that quickly took control of my life. Blind in One Eye is the true story of an adoptee finding, and being absorbed into, a shockingly troubled birth family - a story about abruptly leaving behind life as an only child. But it's also the story of someone with focused and demanding expectations who learns to see other possibilities, to see that the answers he actually gets in life might be more important than the ones he thought he wanted. The most remarkable discoveries seem to come while looking for something else - as long as you're open to the possibilities.
