From the Inside Flap Sooner or later, doubt comes to each of us. Doubt can paralyze us--sometimes for keeps. Or doubt can make us stop and reflect. Eventually, it might even propel us in amazing new directions. If we're lucky. The trail passed through a windbreak of shrubs and dead grasses, and Barr stopped, stamping his feet. Snow had blown into the branches, forming odd little clumps, shapes which looked to him like elephants, ice cream cones, a bearded Moses. One crisp, glittering limb reminded Barr of this morning's hoar frost, which he'd observed but knew he'd not fully appreciated. The remembered beauty of those ice crystals hit him now. He was struck by the intensity of the cold needed to form them. He shivered. The shiver turned into a tremble. When he closed his eyes, he saw a malicious frost growing inside his heart, limning blood red with icy white. Sharp pinnacles of isolation, shining splinters of separation, crystalline tendrils of doubt were forming frozen barriers, a chain mail of ice. Barr felt tears freezing on his cheeks. His throat, fiercely-dry, constricted. Conviction. Connectedness. Focus. He needed all of them. But they were sliding away from him, as a mountain climber, his ropes unravelling strand by strand, slides into a crevasse. And Barr felt his faith surely was sliding with them. from "Hoar Frost", one of the seven absorbing stories in this new anthology

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Another winner By Diane H. Larson After reading "Undertow", an anthology of short stories by Eric E. Wallace, I eagerly anticipated his next creation. I was not disappointed. His new anthology is another winner. This book has fewer, and some much longer stories, allowing other elements of Wallace's talent to shine through.Each story has a succinct title that somehow manages to capture the soul of the story in one or very few words. The metaphoric counterpoints, one of his story-telling tools, are fascinating and serve well to bring every story into full brilliance and meaning for the reader.He begins with "Windfall" which metaphors the process of deep grief and pain with the chaos and nightmare of a tornado hit. What else could more aptly describe what it feels like to have the one you love most quite literally "ripped" out of your life? In his majestic poetic words and images, and yes, even with some of his ubiquitous humor thrown in, Wallace depicts the healing that is possible in such grievous circumstances."Floodgates" is equally powerful in the counterpoint it presents. This story portrays Wallace's complete mastery in writing exquisite short stories, every word filled with meaning.One of my favorites is "Where Morning Lies", the story of finding the true love at the heart of our lives. It moves at a slow place, tick-tocking along with the timepieces that the heroine meticulously repairs, giving the reader plenty of time to breathe in and appreciate the wonder of all that transpires.The beauties of nature are such an integral part of Wallace's creations. His vivid descriptions easily bring them forth in the reader's imagination. Nowhere is this more evident than in his longest story, "Shearwater Rising". It takes place in the Galapagos Islands where Darwin's evolutionary theory originated. The evolution of a marriage is the counterpoint as we find ourselves literally sauntering among some of the most amazing creatures in the world that we can almost see and feel beside us as we read.Give yourself a wonderful treat, and pick up a copy of "Hoar Frost". Light the fire, curl up on the couch wrapped in a warm blanket, and sip a cup of hot tea or cocoa, or your own favorite beverage, and slowly savor Wallace's scintillating stories. You won't be disappointed. And watch out for those blue-footed boobies at your feet!

They plumb the depths of human emotion, seething below the mundane surface of appearances. He weaves a tapestry of narrative from gossamer threads of psychology, morality, humanism and philosophy, all churning in the crucible of human suffering. These are truly marvels of storytelling.
