Author Description

Stark House Press celebrates its 25 anniversary this year with this mammoth collection of some of our favorite authors. Here you will find stories by Lionel White, Harry Whittington, Helen Nielsen, Lorenz Heller, Barry N. Malzberg, Bruno Fischer, Henry Kane, Jean Potts, James McKimmey and many others. The Stark House Anthology proudly presents the first time publication of Jada M. Davis's great short novel, So Curse the Day, plus a never-before published story by Peter Rabe called "A Matter of Balance." Here too are many stories not seen since their original publication, like Orrie Hitt's only published short story ("Nothing in My Way"), Bruno Fischer's "Instruction for Murder" and Day Keene's "The Geek-Girl." There are rare short stories by A. S. Fleischman ("Secretaries Make Such Nice Wives"), Lionel White ("To Kill a Wife"), Wade Miller ("Invitation to an Accident"), and more. There's a Chester Drum story from Stephen Marlowe ("Chester Drum Takes Over"), a Peter Chambers mystery from Henry Kane, and an equally obscure story from Dan J. Marlowe ("Art for Money's Sake"). Thirty tales of mystery and cold-blooded noir from the authors who make Stark House Press the first name in crime fiction reprints.
