The squirrels have donned their Sherlock hats and have magnifying glasses at the ready for a brand new series of mystery anthologies “So Criminal, It’s Good.” Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem features stories by yours truly, Kari Kilgore, and a whole slew of incredibly wonderful writers. I’ve enjoyed every story so far, but I promise I’m not getting any…er…ideas.
Issue Number 1: Private Eyes, introduces Kari’s Appalachian tale “The Definition of Crime,” with a private detective coming home to investigate a tough missing person case.
In Issue 2 – Thieves: In “Bobby and Pete,” we meet a mild-mannered shopkeeper and the homeless man who teaches him that those who steal don’t always deserve a trip to the slammer.
Issue 3 – The Chase Begins: Two Las Vegas homicide detectives encounter “Fresh Blood and Old Music” on Fremont Street.
Kari also contributes stories to Private Eyes, Thieves, and The Chase Begins, and we both return for Issue 4: Sins of the Father, due out in November.
I hope you’ll venture over to www.MCM-Magazine.com, where you can learn more about our fabulous writer Syndicate and be the first to know about upcoming issues.
This week is my Appalachian Gothic contemporary fantasy story To Catch a Thief, a lovely little tale about haints, possession, and the power of a good dog or three.
Happy reading, and here’s more about To Catch a Thief.
Sheriff Larry Crabtree’s quiet Appalachian community hides a dark secret.
From sickly young girls to dying cows, life drains from Larry’s town.
Granny shares wisdom in Larry’s dreams.
Larry must unlearn his common sense and rational ways.
Belief must return if Larry hopes to save innocent lives.
An excerpt from To Catch a Thief:
Sometimes an old dog’s nose is the only warning we get of the weird critters that seep through the walls of this world.
The sheriff could see a massive black form coming from the trees toward the barn. He couldn’t make out what the thing was. It was…smudged came to mind. Indistinct. But the shape was wrong, somehow. It seemed upright, but he saw no limbs or head. He blinked, doubting his eyes when he saw the thing’s shadow leading it, between its body and the light from the house.
Like the shadow was casting the figure.
