Beschreibung

A kiss can be deadly… 
There is no greater high than the bite of a vampire. And no greater addiction. For some of the victims, jaded paramedic and street savior Zeus Contreras is all that stands between temptation and darkness. 
An expedition in 1920's Egypt threatens to crush young love when an ancient priestess is uncovered. 
Supernatural instincts and a nose for trouble lead a hard-boiled private eye over the moon. 
They say The Gambler has a cosmic cheat. And that his winning streak must end before he upends the entire syndicate. Enter the assassin known as Snake Eyes... 
A philosophical fisherman finds a different kind of kiss both enlightening and deadly. 
The novelette Epidemic was a Writers of the Future honorable mention and proved too controversial for some publications. If you aren't afraid to be bitten, risk reading this second collection of Grit & Shadows. 
The Grit & Shadows Collection: Mystery and magic. Hatred and desire. Your every wish and the road to damnation.A Long Walk Down a Dark Alley - Four tales of temptation and terror.Kiss of the Maiden - Five stories of gritty heroes and bloody resolve.One-Eyed Jacks – Novel of urban fantasy, crime noir, and Asian myth.

Among those who have called apartment 2B home are a Cuban concert pianist who performs in a nursing home; the widow of an intelligence officer raising her young daughter alone; a man waiting on a green card marriage to run its course so that he can divorce his wife and marry his lover, all of whom live together; a Tajik building manager with a secret identity; and a troubled young refugee named Lenin. Each tenant imbues 2B with energy that will either heal or overwhelm its latest resident, Lana, a mysterious woman struggling with her own past.Examining exile, homesickness, and displacement, The Apartment asks what—in our violent and lonely century—do we owe one another? If alone we are powerless before sorrow and isolation, it is through community and the sharing of our stories that we may survive and persevere.

    "Dead People's Letters" is a story that should appeal to fans of ghosts and zombies as well as fans of Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic works. It not only places the undead in the middle of 19th-century Russia, but also makes them the central characters of the story and also good friends with one another. "Dead People's Letters" is a complex and layered story that examines:The relationship between the body and the soul and where one leaves off and the other begins.The differing physical and mental natures of men and women.The theme of obsession and being the object of another's obsession.The theme of desperation and deciding what one is willing to do in order to become free of a tormentor. 
    The letters between Ivan Pavelovich and Philippa Pytrovna tell the story of both characters and how, though each is dealing with their own problems, their plight eventually becomes a shared one. They realize only the two of them truly understand each other's situation, and they can only rely on one another for help, guidance, and solace. They also learn it is only through one another that they can escape from their seemingly doomed existence. 
    Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

    “Exceedingly creepy . . . The diabolically gifted British author spins a fascinating mystery from the legacy of Japanese atrocities during World War II.” —Entertainment Weekly   With the redolent atmosphere of Ian Rankin and the spine-chilling characters of Thomas Harris, Mo Hayder’s The Devil of Nanking takes the reader on an electrifying literary ride from the palatial apartments of yakuza kingpins to deep inside the secret history of one of the twentieth century’s most brutal events: the Nanking Massacre.   A young Englishwoman obsessed with an indecipherable past, Grey comes to Tokyo seeking a lost piece of film footage of the notorious 1937 Nanking Massacre, footage some say never existed. Only one man can help Grey. A survivor of the massacre, he is now a visiting professor at a university in Tokyo. But he will have nothing to do with her.   So Grey accepts a job in an upmarket nightspot, where a certain gangster may be the key to gaining the professor’s trust. An old man in a wheelchair surrounded by a terrifying entourage, the gangster is rumored to rely on a mysterious elixir for his continued health. Taut, gritty, sexy, and harrowing, The Devil of Nanking is an incomparable literary thriller set in one of the world’s most fascinating cities—Tokyo—from an internationally bestselling author.   “A haunting, lyrical, disturbing, important, suspenseful, wonderfully written and beautiful book.” —Harlan Coben
