Pasted Graphic

Arnold Enright has been a prisoner for the past six years, confined to a cell not of his own making. Sentenced to viewing his world's reflection in a mirror and with little hope of escape, he is a man whose whole existence can be measured in feet and inches, his only companion the relentless wheeze of an iron lung.

In this hopeless life of scientific dead-ends, Arnold Enright is left to ponder, to regret, to constantly remember what was, and what might have been. Forever praying for an escape route and a way to end it all, Mr Enright is about to discover his prayers have been answered, but in a way he could never have imagined.


Praise for WITHIN HIS REACH:

"WITHIN HIS REACH is a gripping story, reminiscent of a top-drawer Twilight Zone episode. Steve Gerlach grabs you right at the start and holds you breathless until the very last line. I can imagine the spirits of Rod Serling and Charles Beaumont nodding their approval over this powerful novella--it's a terrific piece of work."

--Christopher Conlon, Bram Stoker Award finalist for Midnight on Mourn Street, Starkweather Dreams


"I've read and enjoyed everything Steve Gerlach has published but I never imagined he had the talent, the soul, and the insight to write a story like Within His Reach.  This is a wonderful tribute to Rod Serling --deeply moving, heartbreaking, even.  It's an emotional roller-coaster I'll be thinking about for a long time.  I can't recommend it highly enough."

-- John R. Little, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Miranda, The Memory Tree and The Gray Zone

William F. Nolan to Introduce WITHIN HIS REACH

I'm honored and proud to announce that William F. Nolan will be providing the introduction to WITHIN HIS REACH, which will be released by Tasmaniac Publications.

Everyone is very lucky that the planets aligned for this, and I think readers both old and new will get a real buzz out of this introduction. WITHIN HIS REACH is even more special now.

Alan M Clark will also be providing the cover artwork, which will be an absolute delight as well.

As a reminder, here's the synopsis below:

Within His Reach submitted to Tasmaniac Publications

WITHIN HIS REACH was submitted to Tasmaniac Publications late last month. It's a very interesting story and I think you'll enjoy it. Preview reviews have been very positive, and it's a strange and interesting tale that's "a little bit different." There's some exciting extras that will - hopefully - make up this release, but I'm sworn to secrecy for now. More news on this if and when the planets align...

Within His Reach synopsis release

Hot of the presses is the back cover blurb/synopsis for WITHIN HIS REACH, the Tasmaniac Publications release coming in 2010. Read below to get a feel for this very different and one of a kind Gerlach novella. The guys at Tasmaniac are working hard to make this a very exciting release, with a few surprises up their sleeves. More info when I have it, but for now, enjoy the synopsis.
