all-new story collection of the most peculiar plays ever
made…
Sports fans live and die by their teams’ successes and
failures—though not literally. But these fourteen authors
have written spirited—in more ways than one—new tales of
killer competitions that would make even the most die-hard
players ask to be benched.
In #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine
Harris’s “The Blue Hereafter,” Manfred Bernardo learns about
softball from a certain blond barmaid in Louisiana.
Life-and-death stakes make the competition get serious in
New York Times bestseller William Kent Krueger’s
“Hide and Seek.”
New York Times bestselling author Mercedes
Lackey’s “False Knight on the Road” features a high-stakes
drag race on a foggy mountain road between a clever young
bootlegger and a mysterious stranger.
In New York Times bestselling author Laura
Lippman’s “Ice,” a young girl learns the true story behind a
bit of neighborhood folklore.
New York Times bestseller Seanan McGuire presents
“Jammed,” in which a chimera loose during the Roller Derby
makes it anyone’s guess as to who will still be skating by
the time the buzzer sounds.
In #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon
Sanderson’s “Dreamer,” a game of cops and robbers is a new
challenge when the players are able to switch bodies at
will.
And New York Times bestselling author Scott Sigler
follows ghost stomper Hunter Hunterson as he investigates a
haunted, never-ending baseball game in “The Case of the
Haunted Safeway.”
These and eight more supernatural sporting stories are
guaranteed to have you rooting for the home team…or else…
