Dark, unsettling, and deeply human, Summerlands and Other Selected Works brings together five stories that explore the thin boundary between the known world and what lies just beyond it-morally, spiritually, and psychologically. From the hardboiled grit of The Big Sneeze, where a down-and-out private detective stumbles onto a truth no one was meant to discover, to eerie tales of faith, obsession, guilt, and redemption, Cariola's writing delves into the unseen costs of belief, the dangers of desire, and the moments when reality bends beneath the weight of conscience. Whether grounded in noir realism, speculative dread, or quiet metaphysical reflection, each story lingers like a half-remembered dream and contributes to a larger meditation on identity, and the moments that irrevocably alter the course of a life. Unflinching and atmospheric, Summerlands and Other Selected Works is a collection for readers who appreciate stories that linger long after the final page.
