The Singleton Barrier

Carl Jacobi

First published 1971
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Vance Singleton was making a routine delivery of films just outside Minneapolis when he found himself taking an unprompted detour past a lonely house surrounded by a mysterious brick wall. The patterns built into the brick capture Vance's imagination- but not as strongly as the story of an ill-fated romance, a string of sordid murders, and a lingering curse that caused the wall to be built in the first place.
