There should be more blood, thinks Enver Karadag, inspector with Istanbul’s Special Crimes Division, as he stands over the mutilated body. It unsettles him, too, that the wounds on the man’s neck seem to have been made by something other than a human. But most disturbing of all is the look of horror frozen on the victim’s face. It is just one in a trail of dead bodies left across the city, and soon Enver discovers not only the connection the victims share, but also the troubling connection they have to him. He realizes that in order to bring the brazen killer to justice, he will have to offer up his own life as bait. “A Different Kind of Devil” takes the reader on a journey through the complicated and often contradictory modern city of Istanbul, where progress has failed to banish the demons of the past and tourists share the streets with creatures thought only to exist in legend.

What would you do to get back someone you loved? According to the Roman myth, Orpheus went to Hell—literally—to retrieve his dead wife, only to lose her again when he disregarded Pluto’s warning not to look at her until they reached the surface. In Don’t Look at Her: Two Twisted Tales of Lost Love you will find two short stories exploring the lengths some will go to in order to regain what they’ve lost. “Blood Brothers” (first published in Flesh and Bone: Rise of the Necromancers, Pill Hill Press, 2010) is the story of three former childhood friends, betrayal, teen angst, and raising the dead. In “Virgil’s Refuge” (first published in Dark Things III, Pill Hill Press, 2010) a lonely old man receives a visitor in the middle of a hurricane, but not the one he’s expecting. Just as Orpheus learned, however, actions have their consequences. Find out what happens when you look. Avaibable for kindle at amazon.com and for nook at barnesandnoble.com.
