Nominated for the 2005 Minnesota Book Award: Best Short Story Collection
Two A.M.
A time when someone can't sleep.
The darkest time of the night.
These are tales for such times, from such times.
These tales will not let you will sleep soundly. They will not let you lie on the comfortable mattress that is your life. They will make you dream with your eyes wide open.
These are tales of vampires and vengeance, of biological engineering and ghosts, of astronauts escaping the past and of young people fearing the future. Bitterness, betrayal, and murder lurk within these pages.
But all is not dark. The dawn will come. These are also stories of hope. Of second chances. Of redemption.
Look! It's two o'clock in the morning.
Time to read.
"Schreiber has a wide range of imagination and the talent to put it into words. . . . His imagination invents word pictures that spark the mind to envision a screen larger than Hollywood is capable of."

His Ironwood County novels, ("Hillcrest Journal," "Passing Through Paradise," and "Life on the Fly") draw on many of his teaching experiences in rural Minnesota.
His collection of short stories, "Tales from 2 A.M." features stories written over the course of many years. Each story is written in a style designed to match the theme. Influences for these stories can be found in sources as diverse as Ray Bradbury and Mark Twain.
For his fifth novel, the epic fantasy "Heartstone," Schreiber employed a cinematic, real-time style that brings an extra immediacy to the action.
After promising himself never to write a novel as complicated as "Heartstone" again, he broke that promise and wrote the sequel "Heartstone: Under the Shadow."
He is currently working on a fourth novel in the Ironwood County series.
