  An astronomer and his team battle madness and cosmic chaos to save Earth.Will Vandolah is stationed on the gigantic research outpost, GAIA 3, on Saturn’s moon, Titan. However, its living ecosphere is dying, and oxygen deprivation slowly throws the crew into delirium.As the crew races against time to solve the problem, Will discovers a new and far worse threat. An enormous comet hurtling through space passes close to Saturn and triggers a chain of events that detonates the rings into a glowing inferno, blasting deadly radiation into space. Will later estimates the comet will pass close enough to Earth to cause an apocalyptic disaster.Some crew members, suffering from this radiation, begin showing signs of madness, and a fight for control of the outpost ensues. Will leads the surviving crew in a desperate attempt to escape GAIA 3 and warn Earth before it’s too late. But interference emanating from the rings prevents communication. They can only send continuous signals and hope for the best on the long journey home.THE KUIPER ROGUE is a high-octane techno-sci-fi adventure rooted in sound, hard science. It is a stellar showcase of the terrible power and the sublime complexity of the human experience.

  The Cafeteria

  In this mystical short story, the author recalls frequenting a Broadway cafeteria where he would meet other Polish and Russian immigrants. In the fifties, a woman named Esther became part of their group. Although she had been in a Russian prison camp and now had taken a menial job to support her cripple father, she was cheerful and outgoing. She and the author became good friends, but each time he saw her, she looked more disenchanted; her father died, she was often ill, and she worried about her sanity. 
   
  Several years after their first meeting, she called the author and came to his apartment to tell him that she had seen Hitler, surrounded by Nazis in the Broadway cafeteria the night it burned down. The author tried to reassure her that she had had a vision, but he was convinced that she was mad. One night he saw her in the subway, looking happy and prosperous, on the arm of an ancient man he had thought was long dead. He was upset by seeing her with the old man, and reappraised her story of seeing Hitler, realizing that if, as Kant argues, time and space are only forms of perception, then she might really have seen Hitler. The next day he learned that she had killed herself some time before he saw her in the subway. 
   
  This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Dark: Stories of Madness, Murder and the Supernatural."

  "There are many ways to tell a story . . . It is a question of choosing the right one." - "Sparks from the Fire" The stories in Sparks from the Fire explore a wide variety of familiar characters and settings, yet there is always something else a shadow world that haunts, disturbs, and threatens. Sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, recluses and lovers all find themselves shifting between realities: the prosaic and the mystical, even between life and death. The horrors and wonders of these parallel existences are often glimpsed, sometimes revealed, and occasionally overwhelm. These nineteen tales inhabit a terrain in which the uncanny may at any time intrude into everyday life.
