This gripping collection of two novellas and five short stories contains a measured blend of suspense, horror, mystery and romance ... all with a Twilight Zone touch. Sheila's Marathon Year - An abused woman's mental breakdown leaves her unable to form memories except while she is running. The Money Clip - An average man picks up a lost money clip while out for a run and his life is turned upside down. Runner's High - One recovering addict discovers what running high is all about when he is caught in a blizzard. Driven - They call him Rock. Not because he looks like Rock Hudson, but because a congenital defect has left his face a mask, incapable of showing emotion. Now a case involving a murdered runner ties Detective Adam Cannaday in knots. Is the murderer a fellow runner ... maybe even his own wife? He's in for the race of his life as he chases a cold-blooded killer in a town full of runners. "Driven" will twist you around and leave you breathless. And it's only one of seven suspenseful stories in RUNNING SCARED Programmed - A distraught husband searches for his wife, who is trapped in a body that refuses to stop running. The Ghost Runners - A winner with an oversize ego learns that it is sometimes better to finish second. Cowboy Joe - To unravel the mystery behind an ultrarunning legend, a New York writer travels to the high plains of Wyoming. Once there, her story takes one strange turn after another.

This collection of shorter works brought back such memories of my years as a distance runner! Bad knees drove me to other forms of exercise a long time ago, but it was a treat to revisit that community. Each of these stories focuses on distance running but includes an element of fantasy--think Stephen King in track shoes.Product details

Running Scared Michael Selmer 9780984768127 Books Reviews
Running Scared, Michael Selmer's collection of short stories and novellas, is a prime example of imaginative writing overcoming a particular niche. While all the stories are based on long-distance running-- a sport I have no knowledge of or particular interest in--each one hooked me from the start. That's because for Selmer, running is a metaphor for life. He gives us well-defined, believable characters; people who face a variety of challenges and circumstances that any of us can relate to. These stories make us ask fundamental questions "What am I willing to sacrifice to reach my goals?" "Am I in control of my situation, or does it control me?" "Can I keep my values intact in the face of temptation?" "Do I have what it takes to keep going?" "Do I have what it takes to know when to stop?"
Every story has unique characters, settings, and situations. Some will warm your heart, some will make you angry, and some will chill your spine. You won't be bored, I promise.
Runners and non-runners will enjoy this book. Michael Selmer really knows how to reel in his readers with a good imaginative story.
The author is a runner, who's done marathons and the hundred mile Race Against the Sky in Leadville, Colorado. If you are a runner, these seven stories will ring true, but you don't have to be a runner to enjoy this collection. That said it is great to see running featured as important parts of really well written stories. And they are great stories!
I had this book on my wish list for a while and just recently purchased it. My only regret is not purchasing it sooner. Michael is a great guy, and an equally great author. Each story in this book held my interest. I found myself wishing that some hadn't ended. I recommend this book to any runner, wannabe, or pro. You will find yourself relating to so many things within the stories.
