Troubling Tales is a book of three near novel-sized stories. Story One is "Home Improvement." It incorporates a science fiction dimension without being specifically of that genre. Story Two is called "That Good Image." It deals heavily and controversially with issues of race in a way that only the most sensitive and view-balanced author could address adequately. In the third story, "Last Meeting at Frannies'," a middle-aged woman with emotional problems is the central character. She has phoned the police a number of times to report her discovery of crimes committed by friends of hers. The police don't know whether to take her report seriously or not.
