BOOKS - FICTION _Compositions for the Young and Old_. By Paul G. Tremblay. Dominion, 2004. Softcover, 209 pages. $15.00. ISBN: 1-930977-43-4. Tremblay's book is a collection of twenty short stories. One of the stories titled "So Many Things Left Out" is a horror/science fiction story featuring Mark Twain who has been resurrected by voodoo. Tremblay was inspired to write his story by the controversy surrounding the publication of _Jap Herron_ in 1917, a book claimed to have been dictated by Twain via the ouija board, and _Jap Herron_ is a prominent part of the story. Another short story featuring legendary baseball player Ty Cobb is titled "Hackin' at the Peach." This is not a collection of stories for the squeamish.
