Excerpts

Dead Collections

Isaac Feldman

"Someday, I will write all this down."


Death of a Green-Eyed Monster

M.C. Beaton with R.W. Green

"'He’s dead! He’s dead!' Dougie Tennant was squatting on the ground near his petrol pumps, rocking back and forth."


Book of Cold Cases

Simone St. James

"I was tired at work the next day, because I’d stayed up later than I should have, working on the Book of Cold Cases."


The Grayson Sherbrooke Otherworldly Adventures, Books 1-5

Catherine Coulter

"She jerked up in bed, wide awake, breathing hard and fast."


The Mirror Man

Lars Kepler, translated by Alice Menzies

"Through the classroom’s grimy  windows, Eleonor watches the bushes and trees bend in the stiff breeze as dust is blown along the road."


Undermoney

Jay Newman

"In a world of excess, nothing exceeded expectations like Elias Vicker’s Fire Rites of Beltane, the legendary stag party he held every year on the first Tuesday of May, just as spring buds were bursting into the brightness of just-opened leaves, lending midtown streets a transitory illusion of innocence."


One Step Too Far

Lisa Gardner

"The three men came stumbling into town shortly after ten a.m., babbling of dark shapes and eerie screams and their missing buddy Scott and other missing buddy Tim."


My Annihilation

Fuminori Nakamura, translated by Sam Bett

"A cramped room in a rundown mountain lodge, and on the desk a manuscript, left open to page one, as if it had been waiting here for ages to be read."


City of the Dead

Jonathan Kellerman

"Four fifty-three in the morning was too early for anything."


“Rebecca”

Story by Daphne du Maurier, art/adaptation by Emily Rose Dixon

"She's dead. And one should not have thoughts about the dead."
