Tales from the Peninsula (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798473290929)

Take a journey through time and imagination along the mystical and magical San Francisco Peninsula. Crossing multiple genres and writing styles, these stories capture the history, spirit, and vision of a special place that has inspired many and contributed so much to the world.

The San Francisco Peninsula is a storied place with a unique and vibrant history. Stretching from the titular city to the north to Palo Alto in the south and wedged between the crystal cool waters of the Pacific and the glimmering San Francisco Bay, the Peninsula has been the setting for some of the most interesting people, places, and events of the past 250 years.

In these pages, you will encounter the lives of indigenous tribes during the Spanish conquest, face a predator lurking beyond the rubble in the aftermath of the great San Francisco earthquake, explore the dark underbelly of Prohibition, examine the sinister origins of the psychedelic movement, meet a vengeful ghost, experience the danger caused by a global oil crisis, visit a place that did not share in the Peninsula's riches and discover a future where history comes full circle. Perhaps by the end, this will inspire you to visit here and enjoy Peninsula life firsthand. You are more than welcome.
