Out of His Mind
by Stephen Gallagher

Description:
Twenty-two stories and novella-length works, mixing imagination with suspense in the kind of tale that can slide into the back of your mind and then stay there for the rest of your life. . . well-known as a novelist and screenwriter, the author of Valley of Lights and Oktober has assembled a signature collection from over two decades' worth of his lesser-known short fiction.

A telephone chat line where not all of the respondents can be found amongst the living... the terrified flight of a hit-and-run driver whose fate was sealed at the moment of his deed... the seduction and harrowing education of a young artist in nineteenth-century France... the unholy alliance of an honest psychic and a skeptical conjurer…

All brought together in one volume for the first time anywhere, with an introduction by award-winning author and editor Charles L Grant and an afterword filled with background insights and dashes of autobiography.

As an example of the storyteller's art, Out of his Mind is about as good as it gets.
