| 21 Tales of dark suspense from acclaimed writer, Dave Zeltserman.
Stories of desperation, treachery, deceit and betrayal, populated by
con men, mobsters, psychopaths, dangerous women and life’s losers.
Each of these stories comes with surprise endings and enough twists to leave
you dizzy.
Brutal life lessons learned over a game of nine-ball. . . a war veteran
who’s been played as a sucker one too many times by his older brother…
a salesman who stumbles upon the girl of his dreams only to learn that
his dreams have all been nightmares… a con man who gets more than he
bargains for when he convinces a wealthy woman to marry him.
"Inventively depraved" — New York Magazine
"Dave Zeltserman is one of the crime genre's most accomplished,
radical, and innovative talents. His command of style and personal
dark vision of the world are framed in the short form to reach out and
shake the reader by the throat. I only wish that 21 Tales had been 51
Tales or 101 Tales. We need more of his edgy stories to rattle the
field." — Tom Piccirilli, author of Shadow Season
"In a relatively short period of time Dave Zeltserman has established
himself as the most relevant author of dark crime fiction working
today. As usual, Dave doesn't pull any punches, and his 21 Tales is
inventive, nasty, pulpy fun." — Paul Tremblay, author of The Little
Sleep |
