Autumn Noir

Résumé du livre

25 original tales where shadows conceal sharp edges. Autumn Noir invites you into the season of unraveling. This anthology of original short stories and poetry moves through the moods of fall: from fading warmth to deepening shadows to the cold clarity that comes just before winter. Within these pages, you'll meet characters haunted by guilt, tethered to the past, or suddenly faced with truths they can't unsee. A woman on the run leaves behind more than a trail. A grieving father tries to hold himself together at a child's birthday party. A troubled teen spirals from petty crime into something far more dangerous. And in one deceptively quiet neighborhood, a single misstep pushes a community to the brink. Some stories drift in like chimney smoke. Others hit with the force of a branch snapping in the wind. All will linger long after the fallen leaves have blown away. For fans of Gillian Flynn, Dennis Lehane, and Mare of Easttown. ------------------------------ Note for readers: Edited by H. Dair Brown and Robin Knabel, this is a revised edition of the collection originally published in June 2022 by Unsettling Reads, LLC under the title Autumn Noir: An Unsettling Reads Anthology. One new story has been added, and one story from the original edition has been removed. ------------------------------ "Some stories leave you hanging and gasping for more. Some make you chuckle at the clever wickedness of seemingly innocent sneaky characters. Some leave you shocked over twists at the end. All are worth reading. Autumn Noir: An Unsettling Reads Anthology is the perfect book for a cold night before a blazing fire." - Kathleen Kaska, author of the award-winning Sydney Lockhart Mystery Series "Autumn Noir contains stories that get under your skin... an exciting collection of stories, some will make you smile, others will send a chill down your spine, and others will keep you guessing the outcome. I loved it!" - Kathryn Lane, award-winning author of the Nikki Garcia Thriller Series ------------------------------ Disturb Ink Books publishes fiction that lurks in the haunted land where quiet horror and psychological thrillers meet.
