by Stan Leventhal (Author), Michele Karlsberg (Foreword by)

When you first notice it, something seems a bit unusual. Then it occurs to you that most, if not all, of the pools you've ever seen before were painted blue or white. The Captain's House pool is black. Not painted black. But constructed of black marble and black tile. The marble has streaks of white that look like lightning bolts in a black sky. There is a sexiness to this pool; a personality. It looks and feels like a warm, wet blanket, surrounding and protecting you like a dark, quiet womb.

"The pace is brisk: the plot keeps twisting, as no one is at all who they seem." - Keith John Glaeske, Out In Print

"Stan was a literary activist who always gave to, built and endorsed literature and writers. On this Sunday morning, all these years later, I can still see Stan in his apartment window on Christopher Street, next door to the Stonewall Inn, overlooking Sheridan Square as he typed away." - Michele Karlsberg

"Stan Leventhal was wonderful company: warm, honest, curious, engaging, and human. [His writing] is the next best thing to hanging out with him." - Christopher Bram
