A Moment in Time

Step into a world where history, fantasy, and the surreal collide.

In this eclectic collection of short stories, Death himself fumbles with modern technology, a lost Roman legion marches into a Halloween night, and ghosts linger in Irish pubs that cannot let go of 1916. From the trenches of the First World War to the wide plains of the American West, Mark Ellott weaves tales that are poignant, witty, and sometimes haunting.

Recurring characters, like the world-weary, sardonic figure of Death and the resilient Pascale, anchor a series of adventures that range from the deeply human to the darkly comic. Whether it's dragons taking flight, a time-traveling assassin stalking his prey, or ordinary people facing extraordinary choices, each story captures a fleeting moment where everything changes.

For lovers of sharp wit, historical twists, and a dash of the supernatural, A Moment in Time offers a journey through the unexpected—populated by oddballs, outcasts, and heroes who linger long after the final page.
