Excerpt from The State of Mind: Thirty-Two StoriesHE boy came out of the house and sat down I on the lowest step of the porch. The dusk was purple and filled with many Whispers - the trees above him, the grass at his 'feet, the house even, in the wind, all conspiring in stealthy voices to push harsh terror into his soul. But he sat quietly, leaning back on his elbows, unafraid, for the dusk was not the night, the pitchy black ness of the room under the eaves where he slept, that dark ness into which he tumbled screaming from the inescapable fright of dreams, nor that other darkness in which he found himself when 'memory ceased, that first darkness, in which life was lost.For in the end he always came to the place where there was nothing but an unformed World of darkness with nothing in it but the train whistling far away in the night somewhere, and the terror. And that was all that he could remember, or a find, all that there was in five whole years of his life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
