Originally published in Stillwaters Journal (2002), In Deep with Janine is a short story that might just send you diving into the deep end. So, hold your breath and take the plunge. But be careful down there...

In a review of this story, Marshall Payne wrote: "Most of Vaughan Stanger's short fiction is SF, but this piece is a slice of urban fantasy, told in his warm style and with characters who come alive. A moving, compelling character study. I really enjoyed this one. You might too!"

In a review of this story, "Runmentionable" wrote: "If you like Fritz Leiber's "Smoke Ghost" or Jerzy Skolimowski's "Deep End", you'll like this, and if you like 'em both, you'll love it, as it's the place where they meet. You'll like it anyway. An authentically creepy tale, a darkly humorous tone and a unique setting - what's not to like?"
