The word "Unvisited" takes center stage throughout F. E. Mazur's stories, and while it relates to the earthly space of rooms and outdoor locations, it overwhelmingly describes how circumstances sometimes force new and often dangerous thoughts and considerations upon our psyches. -In "bUSEs" a young actor suspects a suicide bomber is in his midst at the same time he has access to a gun. -A fantasy writer and extraordinary swimmer in "Operculum," in order to recover a young woman who has drowned in the deepest of lakes, strives for an unusual devolution of himself. -For two home invaders in "A Root Cellar Memory," Alzheimer's proves their undoing. -Thurman in "Riparian Rite" looks to punish the most deafening boaters on "his" lake in the only way he knows how. -In "Cold S.O.B" and "Somalia" it's the narrators who deserve attention. Readers of Mazur have described his work as "exceptionally well-written," "grab-you storytelling, "a refreshing change from the usual and trite," and "consistently topnotch."
