What would he do for an encore? Any number of artists have produced evocative work, paintings that could trigger a literary response. But none came to mind who could equal Hopper in turning out canvas after canvas. If no single artist could take Hopper's place, how about a full palette of them? Suppose each author was invited to select a painting from the whole panoply of visual art - from the cave drawings at Lascaux to a contemporary abstract canvas on which the paint has barely dried. And what a dazzling response! Joyce Carol Oates picked "Le Beaux Jours by Balthus". Warren Moore chose Salvador Dali's "The Pharmacist of Ampurdam Seeking Absolutely Nothing". Michael Connelly, who sent Harry Bosch to Chicago for a close look at Nighthawks, has a go at "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Harry's namesake Hieronymous Bosch. S. J. Rozan finds a story in Hokusai's "The Great Wave", while Jeffery Deaver's "A Significant Find" draws its inspiration from-yes-those prehistoric cave drawings at Lascaux. And Kristine Kathryn Rusch moves from painting to sculpture and selects Rodin. In artists ranging from Art Frahm and Norman Rockwell to Rene Magritte and Clifford Still, the impressive concept goes on to include Thomas Pluck, Sarah Weinman, David Morrell, Craig Ferguson, Joe R. Lansdale, Jill D. Block, Justin Scott, Jonathan Santlofer, Gail Levin, Nicholas Christopher, and Lee Child, with each story accompanied in color by the work of art that inspired it.'

From Publishers Weekly (Starred Review): "Set in and around colleges and universities, the 17 new stories and one reprint in this top-notch anthology explore the forbidding side of academia. Among the standouts are David Morrell's devious 'Requiem for a Homecoming,' in which two alumni cast suspicion on each other while debating a 20-year-old murder Creepy oddities include Owen King's tale of heroism, 'That Golden Way,' A.J. Hartley's supernatural 'Rounded with a Sleep,' and Jane Hamilton's superlative 'Writing Maeve Dubinsky,' about the appropriation of another person's work." From Booklist (Starred Review): "David Morrell's 'Requiem for a Homecoming' uses a conversation between two alums about the fatal stabbing of a female student 20 years before to set up a wallop of a reveal. Other highlights include Reed Farrel Coleman's 'An Even Three,' which stars a bitter and possibly homicidal professor, and Ian Rankin's 'The Reasoners,' which showcases an eerie secret society.".
