4.0

Miscreants, Murderers, & Thieves compiles stories around a broad range of topics, all out of the norm—a bit of something for everyone with stories that can be read in one sitting. The leitmotivs that run through them include drugs, sex, murder, child abuse, mystery and others. The genres range from noir to sci-fi to steampunk.

One of my favorites was "The Temperature At Which Love Freezes” by Katherine Tomlinson. You’ll vow to treat your spouse better after reading it! For an unreliable narrator, check out “First Tools” by Nicholas Zeman. Each story has its own sense of mystery, often with a twist at the end the reader doesn’t see coming.
