They stole her family. They destroyed her body. They left her for dead. Their mistake. If memory serves,
Mrs. Robinson had a happy life with her husband and daughter. Memory is a tricky thing, and hers has
been forever altered by a series of traumatic events that left her family dead and her body broken. She
survives on a diet of painkillers and hatred, determined to have her revenge. She has a list of names,
plenty of ammunition, and a secret admirer. What else does a girl need? Each kill gets her one step closer
to her goal and inches from the brink of sanity, racing to finish her list before she goes crazy. The problem,
of course, is that she’s already there...

It's been rough lately for the Lord of Darkness, with ex-girlfriend drama rearing its head at inconvenient moments,
ancient gods returning to take over the universe, and Satan's own unstoppable laziness. But whatever.

Satan is okay, and he thinks you're okay, too. This whole eternal damnation thing is all a bit of a misunderstanding.

He runs Hell as a resort, kind of. A vacation spot. The point is, he's not a bad guy. He's trying to save Heaven and
all of creation, and he only has a dimwitted giant, a surly waitress, and a monkey to help him. So, a thank you might
be nice. Maybe buy him a cup of coffee next time you see him. And you will see him.

It's the Apocalypse, and all that.

My short story ONE SHOT. In the future, the government has built a machine that can perfectly predict the method
of someone's death. Knowing your fate becomes mandatory. Trying to avoid it is futile. Raging against it is illegal.
When one man falls in love with a woman on the brink of death, a chain of events begins that may unfurl the very
fabric of society...

Booked. is an award-winning literary podcast. To celebrate reaching the 100 episode milestone, we compiled an
anthology of stories written by authors we'd had on the podcast. This excellent collection is the result.

From the book:
Booked. They've traveled the country tirelessly for two years, with stops in Chicago, St. Louis, Boston, Milwaukee,
L.A., North Korea, The Dark Side of the Moon, and damn near every Waffle House along the way, all in order to bring
you, the listener, over 150 episodes, over 75 authors. They've won awards, covered scoops, scandals, archived hours
of authors acting badly. They've broken a few hearts on this journey - their voices can be like Russian Roulette in the
headphones of the unsuspecting - but now they've called in their markers to leave their own stain on the literary
landscape. And you're holding it in your hands, or your hook, which would probably tear the hell out of lesser books.
But not this one. All original stories, multiple genres, never been seen, never been read. It's their way of giving back.
Although these authors probably consider it more like theft. The Booked. Anthology. There's a period in the middle
because it's that serious to say it out loud.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for everyone but Santa’s elves, who’ve had a sackful of his tyrannical ways.

"Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, the 19 stories in this new best-of annual anthology feature episodes
of graphic gore and violence—including torture, dismemberment, self-mutilation, and home abortion—that are
designed to push buttons as well as boundaries...strictly for hardcore horror fans."—Publishers Weekly


Editors Randy Chandler and Cheryl Mullenax put the call out to horror writers and editors of extreme stories, the
hardcore stuff that breaks boundaries and trashes taboos, the transgressive tales you can't "unread" (as Chuck
Palahniuk says). We staked out our territory and nailed this to the wall to guide us:

YEAR'S BEST HARDEST HORROR Not your mama's best-of horror annual. This stuff comes from the edge of the
abyss, stories you read at your own risk because you feel the abyss looking right back into you through the
tainted lens of each twisted tale.

A powerful collection of short stories
Twin sisters, discovered dead in a house. No known relatives.
No foul play.
Who are they?
Who were they?


Inspired by a true story, Cipher Sisters focuses on the lives of twin sisters Lucy and Darcy, piecing together their
lives from family stories, legends, and pure conjecture. We can only learn about them from stories of people who
met them in passing, knew them well, crossed them, loved them.

This is a collection of tales about two lives in abstract, filled with love, dedication, anger, hatred, fighting, success,
failure, and perseverance.

Los Angeles is whatever you want it to be, and nothing like you think. I gave these photos to a group of authors and
asked them for precisely 1,000 words about what they saw. They didn't disappoint. Dreams, drugs, drama. Fame,
famine, and fading glory. Few of the authors in this book have stepped foot in L.A., yet the soul of this city is so
invasive and pervasive that the collection embodies everything that makes up this sprawling metropolitan mess.
There’s everyday life in Los Angeles, from the shiny dreams of the Hills to the hard realities of life in the Valley and
out to the Inland Empire, and even more stories that are purely the stuff of dreams and fantasies, the kinds of
worlds that exist only behind giant creaking doors on backlots scattered throughout the Southland. Whether you
live here or just want to visit for a few moments, you’re in for one hell of a ride.
