From a pool of over 3,000 considered stories published last year--anything that touched on crime, mystery, and suspense, from venues as disparate as The Strand Magazine, Dark Yonder, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, The Bellevue Literary Review, and more--these are the twenty best, selected by series editor Otto Penzler and guest editor Anthony Horowitz.
The tales included cover a range of styles, highlighting the diversity of subjects and forms comprising the genre we call mystery fiction. Featuring a mixture of household names, masters of the short form, and newcomers to the field, the collection offers a variety that promises something for every reader. And it's all capped off by a vintage story from the first half of the previous century, sourced directly from the rare book room at the Mysterious Bookshop, the oldest mystery fiction specialty store in the world.
Authors include:
Ace Atkins Michael Bracken Fleur Bradley Shelley Costa Doug Crandell Jeffery Deaver Brendan DuBois John Floyd Nils Gilbertson Peter Hayes Shells Legoullon Victor Methos Leonardo Padura Dan Pope Annie Reed Cameron Sanders Anna Scotti Archer Sullivan Andrew Welsh-Huggins Stacy Woodson
