Same Places, Same Faces

By James Thomas King

An invitation brings Tom Bud into a world he has spent his life admiring. What he finds there begins to change the meaning of everything that came before.

In 1869, Tom has built a respectable life far beyond the poverty of his childhood. When a trusted benefactor puts his name forward for a private event among influential people, he accepts.

The carriage takes him through familiar country to a house he has never seen. Inside, carefully chosen words and polished manners conceal more than he understands. The guests seem strangely familiar. Small details stir memories he thought he knew.

As the evening unfolds, Tom begins to question the connections between the people before him and the life he has already lived.

Same Places, Same Faces is an illustrated Gothic short story blending psychological suspense and supernatural mystery. Set against nineteenth-century wealth and influence, it explores ambition, identity, gratitude, and the unsettling cost of belonging.
