First Edition: Celebrating 21 Years of Goldsboro Books
Available From 30 September 2020
This collection of original stories have been written to celebrate 21 years of Goldsboro Books. Wide in scope, beautiful, charming, thrilling and clever, this is the perfect celebration of authors, their stories and 21 years of Goldsboro Books.
This collection of short stories includes "Unquiet Slumbers: A Tale of the Caxton Private Lending Library & Book Depository," as well as new stories by David Mitchell, Robert Goddard, Jessie Burton, and more."
Like a Charm
Edited by Karin Slaughter
Desire leaves a man destroyed... a young girl's curiosity reveals secrets better left hidden... jealousy drives a woman insane... ambition leads to a curious exchange... an uncanny likeness changes two lives forever... the hand of fate lies buried in the past... From nineteenth-century Georgia, where the bracelet is forged in fire, to wartime Leeds, the seedy underside of London's Soho, a Manhattan taxi, the frozen cliffs of Nova Scotia and back to Georgia, each writer weaves a gripping story of murder, betrayal and intrigue.
Dangerous Women
Edited by Otto Penzler
Dangerous Women is a new anthology by mystery maven Otto Penzler, who has gathered 17 stories from top writers for an all-original suspense anthology with results that are about the same as if a master chocolatier had assembled a new sampler box: everything of high quality but with enough variety to appeal to all tastes. All the contributors are true to their own very familiar voices.
Moments
Edited by Ciara Considine
This collection of fiction by Irish women was published as a fundraiser for tsunami relief; the editor, Ciara Considine, asked me to contribute a story, perhaps to see whether anyone would spot the impostor. "The Cycle" was published under the pen name of Laura Froom (the protagonist of "Miss Froom, Vampire"), and both "The Cycle" and "Miss Froom, Vampire" are included in Nocturnes.
Dark Delicacies III: Haunted
Edited by Del Howison and Jeff Gelb
Dark Delicacies III, which has just been published, contains a story by me entitled "A Haunting", the first time this story has appeared in print. The book also includes tales by Chuck Palahniuk, Heather Graham, David Morrell and Mick Garris. I know that some copies were signed by a number of the contributors at the Dark Delicacies bookstore in Burbank, California, where I'll be signing in October, so collectors might want to see if any are still available.
The Lineup: The World's Greatest Mystery Writers Tell The Inside Story Of Their Greatest Detectives
Edited by Otto Penzler
Published by Little Brown in the US, this anthology contains contributions from 22 mystery writers on how their most famous characters came into being, including Michael Connelly on Harry Bosch, Lee Child on Jack Reacher, David Morrell on John Rambo, Colin Dexter on Inspector Morse, Laura Lippman on Tess Monaghan, Ian Rankin on John Rebus, and Alexander McCall Smith on Precious Ramotswe. I've contributed an essay that deals with Charlie Parker, but also covers the slow development of Irish crime writing, and the collision between the rational and the supernatural in my books. It's a lovely anthology for mystery fans.
