In All The Wrong Places: Stories

by Patrick Egan

Overview

This is a collection of seventeen short stories. Some of them are true. In these pages, you will meet with departed brothers, broken hearts, watchful gnomes, worried sheep, forest nymphs, seductive sinners and hopeful saints. Travel to an ancient Celtic hilltop, get lost on an Alaskan glacier or lose your way in the Northern Forest...at night. You may even find yourself in a tavern alongside a haunted hillside road, dropping quarters into a jukebox and waiting for Patsy Cline to sing away your blues, your fears and maybe even everything else you have in life.
