  Black Mare Books serves up some fun-sized treats from Artemis Greenleaf, Holly Dey, A.B. Richards, and Claire A. Murray. 
  In this grab-bag of Halloween shorts, you’ll find an assortment of killers and creeps. You may want to log off your Zoom meeting to play with the nice birdies. Perhaps kick back with a premium pizza before you go for a long walk in the dark woods? Or maybe you’ve wanted to run away to join the circus? Sounds like more fun than keeping a date with Death. 
  But be warned: the monsters may not be who you think they are.

  From an "exquisite" (The New Yorker) writer, a searing volume of prizewinning stories starring women facing points of no return. 
   
   
   
  A professor finds a photograph of her deceased mother in a compromising position on the wall of a museum. A twenty-something's lucrative remote work sparks paranoia and bigotry. A transplant to a new city must make a choice about who she trusts when her partner reveals a violent history. The summer after her divorce from an older man, an exiled painter's former friends grapple with rumors that she attempted to pass as a teenager. 
   
   
   
  In this long-awaited debut collection, Kathleen Alcott turns her skills as a stylist on the unfreedoms of American life—as well as the guilt that stalks those who survive them. Emergency roams from European cities to scorched California towns, drug-smeared motel rooms to polished dinner parties, taking taut, surprising portraits of addiction, love, misogyny, and sexual power. Confronting the hidden perils of class ascension, the women in these stories try to pay down the psychic debts of their old lives as they search for a new happiness they can afford.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.
