Ends with a bang.
And a lot of bang in between.

River: Christmas Ghosts
“Fiction River: Crime edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch leads off with
strong new tales by three familiar EQMM
contributors: Doug Allyn with a gangster whodunnit, Steve Hockensmith with a
con game story, and Brendan DuBois with a fresh variation on the old
brothers-who-took-different-paths ploy. A sampling of other contents, including
experimental short-shorts by Melissa Yi and M. Elizabeth Castle and a clever
turn on the greedy-relatives-want-inheritance by Kate Wilhelm, suggest high
quality throughout."
—Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine on Fiction
River Special Edition: Crime
“Among the volume’s
better entries are Doug Allyn’s “Hitler’s Dogs,” in which narrator Doc Bannan
seeks the truth about his gang mentor’s death, and Steve Hockensmith’s “Wheel
of Fortune,” which relates the schemes of a pair of con artists.”

of fantasy-detective subgenres.”
—Harriet Klausner, Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine on Fiction River: Fantastic Detectives
“Rusch’s strong
anthology contains a dozen stories of ‘crimes that aren’t crimes any longer,’
as she states in her introduction, stories that move from as far back as
ancient Egypt to as recently as the 1970s. … Readers will find many impressive
voices, both familiar and new.
—Publishers Weekly on Fiction

“Meeting the
exceptional quality of previous anthologies, this collection contains excellent
past crimes short stories.”
