What if you could make things vanish, purely with a simple effort of your mind? What would you do? Who would want to control that power? Jack Cady, in The Man Who Could Make Things Vanish, releases a long pent-up everyman rage against a system that is designed to terrorize, inhumanize, and degrade the human experience. The secret organization behind this villainy is given a name here--Mobilier--and the only thing that can stop it from complete world domination is one man. Cady, an outspoken critic of the military industrial complex and over-reaching government action, turns his considerable talents to pose a scathing "What if?" that is still terrifyingly relevant and cautionary today as it was when the book was first released more than thirty-five years ago. Introduction by Dale Bailey, winner of the Shirley Jackson Award.

In Street, Jack Cady transforms the tropes of the "true crime thriller" into a moving meditation on a place, its people, and what must be done to save those whom society has forgotten.

Jack Cady's keen and profound insight into the collective psyche of the modern world-both from a narrative standpoint and from a critical cultural analysis-is on ready display in Fathoms, his second collection of fiction and non-fiction. Fathoms includes his Bram Stoker and Nebula Award-winning story, "The Night We Buried Road Dog," as well as the marvelous whimsy of "The Poet in the School," the haunted "Play Like I'm Sheriff," and the mercurial danger and delight of "The Curious Candy Store."There is an endless depth to the mystery of the world, and, once again, Jack Cady takes us deep into the marvel of it.Introduction by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Death upsets the quiet equilibrium and rustic charm of a small town on the Washington State peninsula when a well-intentioned blacksmith performs an unexpected civic duty for the town. Evil removed, the death of the predator allows a more ancient evil to slip into the waters of the canal.

A novel of transcendental horror and vengeance from the author of The Well and The Jonah Watch. In the heart of the deep south, where memories of a war long over still simmer, Dan McDowell is pursued by a chilling apparition-the spectral image of his great-grandfather... a family horror almost too awful to comprehend. Destined to learn the secret of his family's past, McDowell is constrained to repeat-in the name of honor and Southern chivalry-the heinous crime of his ancestor, an act required, demanded by his ghost...

The dream always started the same...Psychologist Meredith Morgan understands the how and why of dreams. She understands that dreams are how our subconscious mind tells us things we are too busy to notice.It was a nearly senseless dream...She understands that some see dreams as prophetic, as the future reaching back and giving us a clue as to what is to come. Some see dreams as open doors through which the past can claw its way into the present. Dreams are where time and space collapse.Meredith awoke...But dreams are dreams, and when you wake up, the people you meet in your dreams shouldn't still be with you...

Time moves differently in Point Vestal, a sleepy northwestern town, where ghosts from the late 19th century roam the coastal streets as freely as the town's living inhabitants. But underneath the touristy allure of this commingled past and present lies a creeping darkness. August Starling, a decadent (and dead) crime baron, has a plan for Point Vestal--whose magical nature has become a haven for sinners fleeing their crimes. And the only ones who can stop Starling are the town's newest residents: a defrocked Episcopalian priest and a talking cat. The Off Season is an effusive meditation on the nature of the fantastic, by a writer The Atlanta Constitution calls "a lasting voice in modern American literature."
