The Gallery
Martin Rollins and Siobhan O’Conner find it easy to fall in love, especially since they’re both artists. He’s a musician, she’s a painter, and the partial amnesia she experiences from an accident doesn’t prevent her from creating beautiful, valuable art. But a mysterious man appears and insists that she not sell her art-and he’s willing to resort to any means possible to stop her…

How DOES One Kill A Ghost?,
David Landrum writes ghost stories well. His prose is precise as he captures the mood of coffe shops and art galleries as well as conversations between like-minded professionals, artists and new lovers.
In this story a performing musician, meets a girl–an artist like himself and he enters a relationship with her. The story’s conflict derives from “an ugly, wiry man with a long chin and nose, thinning hair, and old-fashioned threadbare clothes.” This man is no longer mortal and he has afflicted her family for several generations. He derives derives his continued undead existence in a sort of parasitic fashion from a private gallery of “haunted paintings.” And he’ll destroy anyone who gets in his way.
In a life or death contest between living and undead, how does one kill a ghost? I prefer guns, lots of guns, but Landrum finds something mightier than a sword.
