There’s a box. “It’s long, but not coffin long,” the Count says. “More like for shoes. Small shoes.” He can’t remember what it looks like, but it just may hold the key to setting him free. Too bad it was last seen in a closed artery of time.

Rhya Tenney was born and raised in New York City and now lives and works in eastern Pennsylvania. If she had a tagline as a writer, it might be: Odd stories, yes, but they’re fun. Her characters keep company with ghosts, scientists, fortune tellers, AI, and the curious and inconstant denizens only detected by the mind’s eye. Expect old houses, snippets of poetry, nuggets of Buddhist thought, and get-togethers that don’t go as planned. Her books are woven from the threads of multiple genres—so expect the unexpected.
