Beyond our wildest imaginations, other worlds and dimensions
exist that are vastly different than ours. These worlds beyond both
fascinate and frighten us, but more importantly, they have the
potential to bring a great good we never could have envisioned.
In this intriguing collection of stories that explores the
ramifications of encounters with beings from the beyond, the
appearance of a bewildering and elusive visitor to an
eleven-year-old resident brings an unusual gift that turns his
entire town inside out. Two young siblings-whose parents have just
left them for a year with their callous aunt and uncle-soon
discover they have an angry ghost to contend with as well. As a
family moves into a strange house, they find the house a lot
stranger than they bargained for. When a boy finds his school
filled with the ghosts of fellow students and teachers, he is
mystified when he sees these same people still alive in the
flesh.
"From Beyond to Here" is a compilation of stories for young fans
of the supernatural sure to entertain and raise questions about
intriguing parallel worlds.
