Elizabeth McCracken Books

A truly talented writer with short stories and a couple of novels under her belt. I don't know her personally, unfortunately, but I have been a friend of her brother's for about 15 years. (Her brother is PC World Editor Harry McCracken.)

Niagara Falls All Over Again (Paperback)
The vaudevillian team of Carter and Sharp, told through the eyes of Mose Sharp - the team's fall guy who's got more on the ball than some may think!

The Giant's House (Paperback)
The local librarian has fallen for schoolboy James Sweatt, who eventually grows to a height of 8 feet, 7 inches tall! Vivid imagery by McCracken makes this a good read.

Here's Your Hat, What's Your Hurry? (Paperback)
Many first became aware of McCracken through this collection of short stories including "Some Have Entertained Angels Unaware", "It's Bad Luck To Die" and "What We Know About The Lost Aztec Children".
