Catch up on what's happening with a few recurring characters in the author's latest collection of paranormal short stories, Enter Through the Porthole. The vampire is a new dad but has encountered a challenge of a non-parenting kind. The alien is still on the corporate ladder to success but takes time to be the good friend that she is with some tough love and the help of a former abductee. The werewolf-to-human loves his new home on Cape Cod but must deal aggressively with a tricky situation that's come up; fortunately, he has help. Read about machines that turn against you-but only if you're naughty. Shake up your thinking with stories about what is it like for an American to be the denigrated immigrant? Ever wonder who is answering Ouija board questions? Learn the consequences of being a faithless friend and reckless teenager, how old resentments make the perfect horror story, and ponder whether or not it's a good idea to sell your house if you think it's haunted. Finally, meet the Samaritans, a squishy, gelatinous race of beings with six arms whose only mission in life is to be the premier tow truck service in the galaxy and help you with your spaceship should you ever be in need.
