About Fog and Other Stories:

The 23 stories deal with the metaphorical concept of fog as a state produced by grief, mental illness, love, anger, dementia, pain, prejudice, or dreams and how the human being refracts reality through these diffused prisms. Protagonists struggle with psychological and physical distortions that lead them down problematic paths, whether due to jealousy or desire in the case of lovers or hypothermia experienced by a fallen mountain climber. In the story, “Fog,” set in Ireland, the narrator encounters the real thing.

Laury A. Egan is the author of Fog and Other Stories (StoneGarden.net Publishing) and the forthcoming psychological suspense novel, Jenny Kidd, (Vagabondage Press, September 2012), as well as two poetry books: Snow, Shadows, a Stranger and Beneath the Lion’s Paw (FootHills). She lives in Highlands, NJ.
