To remain safe in this world, you accept the help of a professional medium who develops his own emotional agenda. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Trio \u003c\/i\u003ethat emerges takes us to pre- and post-World War II Prague where a poignant and chilling love triangle finds its resolution. There we meet great Czech creators of the past including Leos Janácek and Karel Capek. Inspired by the ghost stories of Henry James and Daphne du Maurier, Clyde Derrick introduces three characters whose passions defy time and the accepted boundaries between the dead and the living. The author, who has lived in and visited purportedly haunted sites in advance of writing this novella, contends that this story and its characters found him. Meanwhile, his portrayal of two Pragues--one poised to fall to Hitler's army, the other muted by Communist oppression--offers us insights into the past and reminds us to stay vigilant against dangerous politics. \u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Trio\u003c\/i\u003e is a spiritual excursion in which we ponder the limitations and hazards of romantic love as well as the possibility of other lives in other times. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Trio i\u003c\/i\u003es the winner of the 2020 Omnidawn Fabulist Fiction Chapbook \/ Novelette Contest, chosen by Molly Gloss. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClyde Derrick\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Wash\u003c\/i\u003e.
