Peace door Richard Bausch
Three soldiers set out on a reconnaissance mission led by an old man with questionable motives. Over the course of one suspenseful night, one will find peace. Find the Audible version!
These are well written and well told stories by a relatively unknown author. While all the stories are set in the south, they are something just shy of gothic. The principal theme seems to be human frailty and doubt, particularly in relationships. The standout story is the last one, 65 Million Years, featuring a Catholic priest in a crisis of faith who struggles through confessions until a young man begins asking deeply existential questions. In answering, the priest begins to find his own faith.
