Scattered, Smothered, Covered & Chunked

There's no closing time for crime.

Editors Michael Bracken and Stacy Woodson order up hardboiled and noir stories by talented and award-winning crime-fiction writers.

Tales of redemption, revenge, and rebirth fill these pages, and each story serves someone (or something) scattered or smothered or covered or chunked. If Michelin rated crime (not food), the diners in these stories would all be three-star establishments.

On the menu, you'll find stories by: J.D. Allen, Donna Andrews, Ann Aptaker, Mark Bergin, Michael Bracken, Austin S. Camacho, Tammy Euliano, Nils Gilbertson, Sherry Harris, Hugh Lessig, Sean McCluskey, Deb Merino, Penny Mickelbury, Alan Orloff, Bonnar Spring, and Andrew Welsh-Huggins.

You will never look at a roadside eatery the same way again.
