San Antonio Del Tequendama
Cundinamarca, Colombia
November 1938
'My front door is broken, bleeding guts of shadows...'
'...how do I find new skin...'
'...among my desolate bones...'
"But this is nothing, right?" whispered Tatiana. "I'm still alive."
These were her abstract thoughts as she stared like a saucer-eyed cat confronting a deluge??stared into her emerald green eyes in the large, heart-shaped crest-mirror hanging above the vanity table in her bedroom suite at Hotel "Bochica", Salto del Tequendama.
Tatiana Marita Ospina has run away from her forced marriage to an aristocratic philanderer, and sought sanctuary at "Bochica", a retreat for the rich and famous. The last thing she expected, however, was to discover a convoy of Nazi SS soldiers arriving at the hotel under cover of night, led by Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess.
In the darkest hours of the morning, Tatiana's sleep is disrupted by strange, ghostly music and voices, which grip her imagination and compel her to explore the lower levels of "Bochica", where she stumbles onto the true secret the hotel has been hiding: the occult mystery behind the rising Axis powers. Openly confronted by this insurmountable horror, she must decide if she can make the sacrifice necessary to accept her role in the secret history of World War II. But will it be destiny or damnation for Tatiana Marita Ospina, as well as for the rest of the world?
Weaving together psychological horror and alternative history with theater of the absurd, A CATCH IN TIME is a macabre yet genre-defying novella by dark fantasist Christopher Alan Broadstone. After you fall into A CATCH IN TIME, World War II and the demise of the Third Reich will never look quite the same again.
A CATCH IN TIME also includes two short stories from SUICIDE THE HARD WAY??SMILEYS' GRAVE and ROSEBLOOD??and also "CHAPTER 19" from the novel PUZZLEMAN.
