Vampires, witches, ghosts, and other things that go bump in
the night are the focus of a new anthology of short stories
from 20 of the best and brightest mystery writers in
America.
Edited by Charlaine Harris, author of the popular "Sookie
Stackhouse" vampire series, CRIMES BY MOONLIGHT: MYSTERIES
FROM THE DARK SIDE includes a wide array of spooky and
spine-chilling stories from favorite mystery authors such
as Carolyn Hart, Harley Jane Kozak, Elaine Viets and
Barbara D'Amato, plus works from lesser-known but equally
talented authors who are all members of the Mystery Writers
of America.
There is a little something for everyone here. Harris leads
off with a brand new vampire story featuring Dahlia Lynley-
Chivers, one tough vampire chick. Author Lou Kemp retells
the story of the ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman, in his
story "In Memory of the Sibylline." Harley Jane Kozak
brings a ghostly story of motherhood and purple haired
witches with her tale, "Madeeda" and Carolyn Hart give a
delightful update on her ghostly amateur sleuth "Bailey
Ruth" in her story, "Riding High."
Barbara D'Amato's contribution, "The Conqueror Worm," is a
chilling look at email gone bad, and Elaine Viet's "The
Bedroom Door" tells about a door that foresees the deadly
future for members of one family. Even Mickey Spillane's
Mike Hammer comes by for a stroll with Max Allan Collin's
story "Grave Matter."
All twenty stories featured in CRIMES BY MOONLIGHT
spotlights the individual flavor of each author's writing,
resulting in a kind of smorgasbord of mystery selections
for fans of the genre.
Read one, read them all, but read these tales -- but not in
the dark!
