Anthology Reviews

"Glitter Rose" is a single author collection by Marianne dePierres and reviewed by Charles Tan. http://charles-tan.blogspot.com/2010/11/book-review-glitter-rose-by-marianne-de.html I was looking for an online short story that I could link to for this author but found that most of her stories are in print venues. You can find out more about her at http://www.mariannedepierres.com/

I've been a fan of Kate Thornton's short fiction for a long time. She's one of those writers who unfolds such gentle stories that the readers are always surprised to find themselves crushed under the noirish endings that they rarely see coming. Her single author collection is called "Inhuman Condition: Tales of Mystery and Imagination" and reviewed by Jackie Houchin http://tinyurl.com/2a4bzp7 If you'd like a taste of Kate's writing drop on over to A Twist of Noir and read her story, "Part-Time Job" http://a-twist-of-noir.blogspot.com/2010/06/twist-of-noir-485-kate-thornton.html

And last is for an older anthology called "Tequila Sunrise" by Michael Bracken and reviewed by Kevin Tipple as part of Patti Abbott's Forgotten Books series. http://kevintipplescorner.blogspot.com/2010/11/fridays-forgotten-books-tequila-sunrise.html
Though this story isn't about the same PI featured in the collection, you can get a taste for Michael's PI stories with his short, "My Client's Wife" http://www.thrillingdetective.com/fiction/07_06_03.html

If you haven't looked through The Thrilling Detective's fiction archives, you really ought to. The collection of authors on this site is simply amazing. Fans of Ray Banks', Cal Innes, will find several short stories featuring Cal. You will also find stories from Dave White, Laura Lippman, and Duane Swierczynski, just to name a few of the great authors. So go, take a read through the archives. http://www.thrillingdetective.com/fiction/index.html There's no better way to acquaint yourself with an author's work than through their short stories.
