James Steimle (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Enter one Mr. Dunden, a quirky carpet salesman making one last sales stop before heading home to his family. He chooses a small country inn with a relaxed atmosphere to rest his weary body.

At first everything seems quaint, efficient -- normal -- but then he hears the mysterious woman crying at night. Other tenants begin to act oddly, and he can't shake the feeling that he, himself, is teetering on the brink of insanity. Dunden must find this wailing woman: he must end her torment ... in the room that wasn't there.

More About the Author

James Steimle, a.k.a. the Dread Pirate Roberts, likes history, psychology, foreign languages, STAR WARS, and boring things like "education." As a result, he has taught for over twenty years from Japan to California, and a few other places. He has written seven scholarly books and numerous articles worth forgetting--unless you enjoy dusty tweed jackets with patches and also very old libraries (which he does!). He has obtained a Bachelor's in History, studied nine languages, obtained a teaching credential in multiple states, run two law firms, done the work for a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, loved life as a librarian, earned a Master's of Education, and then done the following fun things:

Ever-racing from true boredom, James Steimle has written books for children (like THE AUTUMN LAND and AN ELEMENTARY HISTORY OF THE WORLD) and novels for older people (like THE KUKULKAN MANUSCRIPT and the soon-to-be-released sci-fi thriller INTERFERENCE). His short stories and novellas (like THE ROOM THAT WASN'T THERE, "Pearl of Great Price", and "The Happy Dog and the Lonely Cat") have twice won awards, played in nearly every genre (including the sometimes-snobby, sometimes fun-loving Literary field), and appeared in award-winning magazines from America, to Canada, to Great Britain. He has thereby been recognized by the British Fantasy Society, LOCUS MAGAZINE's Index to Science Fiction, and the Internet Science Fiction Data Base.

This short haunted house story is just right for a rainy weekend! It has just enough suspense to keep you reading without being overly scary. I got chills! This is a great story from a great author.
