<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Featuring five works of extraordinary short fiction, <i>John Ingerfield: And Other Stories</i> is an unforgettable collection that textualizes the aspects of human nature that are often left unspoken while exploring nostalgia and the macabre. In <i>The Woman of Saeter, </i> an uneventful hunting trip turns into a spooky experience when two men are forced to take shelter in a mysterious hut in the woods. With a similar tone, <i>Silhouettes</i> is a frightening recollection of an eerie marshland near the sea, haunted by the dead, monsters, and shadows. Depicting a less chilling childhood memory, <i>Variety Platter</i> is a story of an unforgettable Christmas. While the supernatural and unexpected burn themselves into memory, odd characters have a similar effect. <i>The Lease of the Cross Key</i> follows a Bishop and an unconventional reporter as they prepare for a celebratory service. Finally, the first and title story of the collection, <i>The Remembrance of John Ingerfield, and of Anne, His Wife</i> depicts a man whose life revolved around making money. </p> <p>Written with stunning description and impressive prose, <i>John Ingerfield: And Other Stories</i> by Jerome K.
