This is a collection of thirteen short stories which include one or two elements from a list submitted to each of the authors. Unfortunately, many chose a headless Barbie doll, an element which became most distracting for me after reading the first couple of stories yet it occurred again and again..

Of the thirteen short stories my two favorites were âBefore Swineâ by Wm. Kent Krueger, an author whose work is so well drafted that I pick it up over and over and âA Domestic Matterâ by David Housewright , whose writing style drew me right into his mystery quickly and flawlessly. I simply must read more of his work. Other tales that I enjoyed were âLoon Lodgeâ by Mary Logue; âThe Gatesâ by Judith Guest, âMikey's Last Markâ by Ed Erickson; and âNorwegian Noirâ by Ellen Hart
