"Twilight States" by Albert E. Cowdrey

An interesting fantasy story about a man who runs a bookshop. One day, a visitor buys an issue of a old pulp Horror magazine that raises memories in the man concerning his relationship with his brother who went to war. As the story progresses and we see the conflicts in his life, you get the feeling that something is not quite right with the man and the key may lie in a story written by his brother...if it was his brother who wrote it.
