Beskrivning
An astonishing crime thriller with a killer twist, the title story "Encore" is about a retired police officer called back into service for the NYPD after a series of apparent copycat murders emerge.
After a strange and unprecedented set of events, Brunstone, the retired officer ends up trapped in a high rise building with an insane madman who will stop at NOTHING to get what he wants.
In "Alma" a dark presence is at work in the snowy streets of Paris...
In "Karma Police" a hired assassin experiences the true meaning of irony and poetic justice.
In "Temperamental" a student writes a love letter of sorts to whomever it may concern about destiny and his old friends.
In "Ophelia and Bedelia" a heartbroken mother does something terrible... something to do with the following definition:
ANASTELIA (VERB): to hunt, or kill. To go insane to an impossible extent.
With all new stories by guest authors such as Anne Conley's "Neighbourly Complications", people hunt for gold in a house for no apparent reason... and then you have to factor in the hunk next door.
In "Bitter" marital affairs take an unusual turn of events...
Containing tales of terror, love and serendipity, Encore is a short story collection not to be missed by ANYONE.

Stone, best-selling author of August to Life and The Bloodletting
"Dark, creepy, and oh-so-meaningful" - Kyle Forrest, GoodReads
"Vivid characters and fun experiments Josiah takes as an emerging author [are done] marvellously well" - Anne Conley, author of Neighbourly complications
