This collection of stories by Stirling Davenport evolved over a period of 20 years.  The tales are organized loosely by genre, although such designations can be ambiguous.  Stories which appear at first to be fantasy are interwoven with reality.  A gravedigger sees the ghost of a dead child.  A man’s obsession with memory leads him into a past life as a voodoo priest.  An artist has a recurring experience with a homeless woman who may be his true muse. 

The book features many stories published in anthologies elsewhere, including "Abba's Mark" from the vampire anthology "The Darkest Thirst," and "Engineering Beauty," from the 1999 Price of Technology contest by eternity.com.

The book is available from Amazon, Google Play or Barnes & Noble, as well as from Xlibris (click on cover for link).

I am currently seeking an agent to promote my unpublished novel IN MY BONES. Drawn from personal experience, an unwed mother of a biracial son encounters tragedy, loss and struggle, while attempting to a follow a mystical path. Through love affairs, psychedelics, study of religions from voodoo to Wicca, Sufiism and Islam, she eventually embraces Buddhism. Her quest to find her purpose and the true meaning of home eventually teaches her how to stop sacrificing her art and follow her star. Her final love affair ends in Tibet. Readers who liked Postcards from the Edge and Eat, Pray, Love will relish this book.
