Something old, something new, something borrowed, something... grue? Welcome to a different kind of marriage, a morbid union of strange stories with evocative narratives-where bizarre is beautiful, death is an old friend, and twisted creatures skulk in the shadows. An engagement over a year in the making, Jack of all Trades is a collection of dark fiction with a more literary bent, a celebration of the eerie and eloquent tales of yesteryear. A wedding of words. From Victorian England to the Wild West frontier; from familial strife to a nationwide threat; from the innocence of youth to the cynicism of experience-the seven stories contained herein span concepts, continents, and centuries. Jack of all Trades features the following fictions: See No EvilA Victorian novel of death, intrigue, and forbidden experiments. Her First TimeA short story of seduction in the heartland of post-WWII America. Psycho KillerA short story of mass murder in the City of Angels. Riding the Ghost TrainA short story of addiction and regret in the Appalachian Mountains. The StowawayAn alliterative drabble of savagery on the high seas. The Sentimental EndingA short story of dark discovery in the snowy peaks of Norway. A Frontier HauntingA novelette of spirits and six-shooters in the Wild West.

In Class of '67, former Marine lieutenant Jack Wells delivers a moving and fitting eulogy to the forty-three lieutenants who were in Marine Officers Basic Class 6-67, and who died in Vietnam. Another classmate died years later in Lebanon. As the war escalated, the number of Marine officers sent into battle increased dramatically. The highest eschelon of Marine commanders were greatly concerned about the high casualties, but with the war raging, and with Marines never backing away from a fight, or trying to protect their men, the casualties continued to climb. This book is a memorial to those men who made the ultimate sacrifice for their men and country. As Wells introduces each of the forty-four, readers will be moved by the enormity of loss: loss of youth, loss of leadership, loss of the best...and the brightest. Whether we support a war or march against it, nothing diminishes the significance of what each man sacrificed for country and family. Over 160 color and b&w photos, plus 14 maps in the book.
