"I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger...." creates Wilfred Leland Adam in the first webpages of the riveting confession which makes up "1922", the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerizing stories from Stephen Ruler. For Adam, that stranger is awakened when his partner, Arlette, proposes advertising off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, establishing in motion a gruesome coach of murder and madness. In "Big Driver", a cozy-mystery copy writer called Tess encounters the stranger along a back street in Massachusetts when she requires a shortcut home after having a book-club proposal. Violated and still left for lifeless, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face-to-face with another stranger: the main one inside herself. "Fair Extension", the shortest of these tales, is perhaps the nastiest and certainly the funniest. Making a offer with the devil not only helps you to save Dave Streeter from a fatal cancer tumor but provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment. When her hubby of more than 20 years is away on one of his business journeys, Darcy Anderson looks for power packs in the storage area. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable and she discovers the stranger inside her hubby. From the horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling level, and it definitively ends a good matrimony. Like Different Months and Four Former Midnight, which generated such enduring motion pictures as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me, Full Deep, No Personalities demonstrates Stephen Ruler a master of the long story form.
