Review
"There is a great temptation to discuss and describe each one of the astounding tales in Brian James Freeman's latest collection of short stories but to do that would diminish the profound impact each one will have on readers who must discover the hope and the darkness themselves. What I can say is that each will leave you greatly moved and a bit disoriented, as a truth is uncovered, a hope is concealed, a terror is faced, a horror is revealed... You will lose yourself in these pages."
-- Ron McLarty, author of The Memory of Running, Traveler, and The Dropper

Running Rain: A Short Story
"The first time he saw this river, he thought: those waters are deeper and faster than they look. That has troubled him ever since."
In the year since their son was the first victim of a serial killer known as the The Riverside Strangler, a devastated husband and wife have tried to pretend life can somehow be normal again... but the secrets they're keeping from each other are pushing their relationship to the brink.
To make matters worse, The Riverside Strangler was never caught, and now the husband is obsessed with running along the river at night, searching for the truth about why his son died: a truth he may not really want to know...
