The Treehouse is a collection of two short stories and a novella. The first of the short stories, “Saving a Nation”, is a work of historical fiction that provides a speculative—albeit fictional—perspective into the sinking of the Titanic by a German U-boat. The second, “Blue Sweat, White Breeze”, set amid the backdrop of New York City, fictionalizes the social, financial, and psychological struggles of a blue-collar worker as a result of the recession of 2008 in America. The final piece, which shares the title of the book, The Treehouse, is a work of horror dealing with the inner struggles of a man and his deformed daughter whose existence is unknown to her mother after her twin died at birth. He keeps her hidden from both his wife and society in the backwoods of his house. She is his alter ego, his child, his penance.
