A young person has a tremendous amount of information to assimilate and try to make sense of. The daily routine of getting up and going to bed often sandwiches events that, with hindsight, could be described as bizarre but at the time accepted as the norm. Normality is a term reserved for the adult world because when a young person's experience has no benchmark for comparison, everything is normal. These short tales demonstrates a youthful innocence of simply accepting and being awestruck with the unintended consequences. Young people found entertainment more by accident than by planning. The same mindset is still around but sometimes hidden by a digitally enhanced world. These stories have been changed slightly to protect the innocent and also the not so innocent. But, like all fiction, they have their origins based on fact. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did recalling them.

Lacey's is a cafe in New York where we see three different scenes at the same table, all linked by a common thread, if you can find it. In Blackbeard's Ghost Ed finds his ancestral line goes back to notorious character, with consequences reaching into the present. Rabbit & Mole: Julie lives in Queens, NY. Her past, on the streets, sleeping rough, though behind her is never very far away, as she discovers one cold Christmas. These and other short stories are the best of Robert Stone. The brevity of the format doesn't limit what can be packed into a few words. 'MOMENTS' is exactly that, a collection of moments in life, with unseen beginnings and unknown endings. Nevertheless, compelling, like overhearing a conversation of which we know nothing, and yet are intrigued.

Robert Stone's remarkable novel is a psychological thriller of razor-sharp intensity: mysterious, erotic, and deeply readable. Michael Ahearn, a professor at a rural college, sheds his comfortable assumptions when he becomes obsessed with a new faculty member from the Caribbean, Lara Purcell. An expert in Third World politics, Lara is seductive, dangerous - and in thrall, she claims, to a voodoo spirit who has taken possession of her soul. Impassioned and determined, Michael pursues Lara to her native island of St. Trinity, heedless of the political upheaval there. Together they desperately attempt to reclaim all that Lara has lost. Yet island intrigue ensnares them. Lara sacrifices herself to ritual and superstition. Michael is caught unawares in a high-stakes smuggling scheme. In his feverish state of mind, the world becomes an ever-shifting phantasmagoria. He is, himself, possessed. In Bay of Souls, readers will recognize the trademarks of Stone's greatest fiction: the American embroiled in Third World corruption, the diplomats and covert operatives, the idealists and opportunists. Yet here the author's sights are set inward, to a place where politics is superfluous, experience unreliable. Never before has Stone probed so powerfully the psychological depths of one man's mind. What he finds there defies expectations.
