About the Book

Perhaps a little unsettling, perhaps a little weird, perhaps a little ghastly, perhaps a little scientifically questioning, but easy-to-read entertaining, fun short stories that will charm you while leaving you with time and energy to pursue more serious things in life.

The book opens with a story about lonely ghosts in a town in Germany. Another is about the ghost of a Japanese samurai trying a little too hard to get into samurai heaven. One is about a near alien abduction in a small town in the American West. One is about a military scientist who invents a scent that makes people submissive and aids ants in taking over the world, or is it his guilt? Another concerns a spy with multiple sclerosis trying to hide his illness and his encounter in a German town with something from beyond. And one is about a spore that comes to earth in a meteorite impact in Nevada and delivers a timely message to the inhabitants of our small blue planet.


About the Author

The author wandered the world in search of experience and meaning, and in doing so, he wandered in and out of otherworlds of fantasy and unmeaning. In Open 25 Hours he shares some of this with his readers.
