Sinossi

In "Walled In," William O. Stoddard crafts a riveting narrative that explores the themes of isolation, survival, and the psychological ramifications of confinement. Set against a backdrop of encroaching urbanity, the novel employs a richly descriptive literary style, combining vivid imagery with a sharp focus on character development. The interplay of social commentary and personal struggle invites readers to reflect on the broader implications of societal walls'Äîboth literal and metaphorical'Äîwhile weaving a tension-filled plot that keeps audiences engaged until the final page. Stoddard, an influential figure in late 19th-century American literature, often drew upon his experiences as a journalist and a novelist to investigate the human condition. His deep understanding of societal constructs and personal isolation likely influenced the themes present in "Walled In." Stoddard's ability to intricately blend realism with an almost poetic narrative provides a unique lens through which readers can analyze contemporary issues in their own lives, making his insights both timely and timeless. For those who appreciate thought-provoking literature that challenges perceptions of freedom and entrapment, "Walled In" is an essential read. Stoddard'Äôs masterful storytelling not only captivates but also invites readers to question their own boundaries, making it a poignant exploration of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

    Book 23: Psychic VisionsTasmin’s business isn’t for everyone. Yet she recognizes the value she offers for grieving families. Still, the subject isn’t something most people are willing to talk about. However, over time, her business has grown through word of mouth—much to the horror of her family. Until a detective walks in, inquiring about a piece that had been stolen overnight. This is the first inkling she has that someone is out to destroy her business. Unfortunately it won’t be the last. Detective Hanson MacGyver isn’t sure what to make of Tasmin, yet he understands the need for licensed morticians. However, how she got into the process of preserving tattoos for grieving family and friends is something he has never seen before and isn’t comfortable with. Live and let live works for him as a motto, but, when her works in progress start showing up in public locations and not in a good way, he knows they have someone who hates what she is doing, or hates the owners of the tattoos. Something’s off about the whole mess. And that’s just on the surface. When both Tasmin and Hanson dig deeper, a whole lot more is going on underneath. And none of it is normal or nice.
