Something Wicked - Softcover
"Welcome to the Golden Age of Tartan Noir" (Ian Rankin) Twenty-one stories with an extraordinary range, from social irony to real darkness, by both well-established and new contemporary writers. This is a dark, rich and original blend of the country's finest. This innovative new collection of crime short stories brings together all the usual suspects. Ian Rankin, Christopher Brookmyre and Val McDermid are joined by a select team of new offenders-writers how have turned their hands to crime especially for this collection. Themes range from incorrect social etiquette to murder, taking in stalking, burglary, shop-lifting, intimidation, genocide, torture, theft, feminist revenge, the horrors of childhood, and the fickle finger of fate along the way. Some of the stories are deadly serious, some are darkly funny, but together they build a unique and completely fresh interpretation of "crime."
