Pandemonium Stocking Stuffer 2012

Four criminally dark short stories for the holiday season.

Archie Black leads off with an unusual collection of detectives - a group of villainnesses are having a night off at the pub when a passing hero is murdered in "A Study in Viscera".

Jenni Hill's enthusiastic anti-hero, Lili, returns in "I Didn't Eat the Deputy". Her partner, Georgia is trapped in a cell, but which zombie ate the keys?

Glen Mehn gets a bit meta in "The Glove", about an award-winning author who takes his inspiration wherever he can find it.

Den Patrick adds a steampunk (trenchpunk!) twist with the acerbic Valente turning his prodigious intelligence towards sleuthing.

Four very odd, very twisted and very, very fun looks at crime and fantasy.
