Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) June 23, 2009 -- The Peppertree Press announces the release of Something Hidden by Elaine Margolis. Something Hidden is now available wherever fine books are sold.

A diverse collection of short stories, Something Hidden (ISBN: 978-0-9823002-7-5, Trade Paper, $13.95, 156 pages) features thirteen original works that explore a broad range of settings, subjects, and ideas.

With a keen eye for detail, extraordinary characters, and an inventive treatment of time and place, Margolis delivers an exquisite collection in Something Hidden through such stories as "Two for One," which explores a love deeply felt but unspoken until too late; "Ynez at the Roller Dome Disco," a coming of age story about a small boy and a giant woman; "The Dragon Box" in which an elderly traveler finds her past in a Bangkok curio shop; "A Biker's Requiem," a story of regret, rebellion, and ultimately, resignation; "The Charm," where spiders spin webs around the life of a girl who waits; "Something Hidden," which features a mime in a Paris street, a kind stranger and a frightening revelation; and others.

An eclectic collection that probes the central themes of loneliness, unease, ambiguity, triumph, and tragedy, Something Hidden is, at its heart, a collection of human stories -- stories about old people, young people, people who love, people who hate, people who scheme, and people who triumph.

Through these remarkable, poignant, and imaginative stories, Elaine Margolis weaves together a captivating collection of vibrant, thought-provoking, and engaging tales in Something Hidden.
