Akashic Books sent me a copy to read for review (thank you).   It will be published December 1st.

 

These stories are mostly creepy.  You have thieves, traitors, spies, corrupt doctors, psychiatric patients, former policemen, and mafia clans all represented in these stories.   

 

My favorite story was the first with former policeman.  Which one did you like best?

 

There is a bit of irony in reading of horrific crimes right before Halloween.  This book sets the tone for a scary Halloween!
