by F. Paul Wilson (not in the libraries’ collection — but you can borrow it through InterLibrary Loan!)
This anthology contains every Repairman Jack short story ever written. These short stories originally were published in various other anthologies or horror magazines, but have finally been pulled together into this one edition.
Repairman Jack is a secretive individual who lives off the grid and battles supernatural beings and demons. He has no magical powers himself but is quick-witted, creative (see the story ‘Interlude at Duane’s’ where he battles potential robbers using only what’s available to him in the drug store), and deadly with his skills. Jack doesn’t go out of his way to encounter these creatures, but he doesn’t run from a fight either.
Each of the nine short stories includes an introduction by F. Paul Wilson.
For anyone not familiar with the Repairman Jack series, this would be a good introduction. Once you’re hooked, begin the full-length novels with “The Tomb.” Then move on to the Teen Trilogy with the first book “Secret Histories” and The Early Years Trilogy starting with “Cold City.” All of the novels are available at Lincoln City Libraries, “Quick Fixes” is available through Inter Library Loan for $2.50 to assist with postage.
