A COLLECTION OF THE FINEST SHORT FICTION BY AWARD-WINNING, INTERNATIONAL BEST-SELLING AUTHOR KEITH R.A. DeCANDIDO For more than twenty years, Keith R.A. DeCandido has told stories in a variety of universes and genres. Now, some of his finest short fiction from across those two decades are gathered here, plus some new, never-before-published tales of wonder, including a brand-new fantastical police procedural featuring the Cliff's End Castle Guard and a brand-new urban fantasy set in Key West, Florida featuring Cassie Zukav, weirdness magnet, both written especially for this collection! From the urban grittiness of "The Ballad of Big Charlie" to the space opera of "The Stone of the First High Pontiff." From the modern-day thriller of "-30-" to the lighthearted cats-and-dogs-and-squirrels romp of "Sunday in the Park with Spot." From a murder mystery in a high fantasy setting in "Partners in Crime" to a murder mystery in a modern publishing setting in "Editorial Interference." From a tale of New York City occupied by magical creatures in "Under the King's Bridge" to a story of Key West filled with Norse gods in "Seven-Mile Race." Plus the short-shorts "A Vampire and a Vampire Hunter Walk Into a Bar," "Wild Bill Got Shot," and "Behold a White Tricycle."

Autorenporträt
Keith R.A. DeCandido was born in what is now the Wakefield campus of Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx. He attended Cardinal Spellman High School and Fordham University, both also in the Bronx, and has lived in the Boogie Down for all but one decade of his life. In 2009 and 2010, he worked for the U.S. Census Bureau, involved in dozens of different operations throughout the Bronx. So writing an urban fantasy series taking place in the northernmost of the five boroughs is a particular thrill.He introduced Bram Gold in the short story "Under the King's Bridge" in the 2011 anthology Liar Liar, and the next book in Bram's series, Feat of Clay, will also be released by eSpec Books. He's told tales of other Coursers in the Systema Paradoxa novella All-the-Way House and in short stories in Bad Ass Moms and Devilish and Divine.His other work includes a long-running series of fantasy police procedurals published by eSpec Books, the latest of which is Phoenix Precinct; a cycle of urban fantasy stories set in Key West, Florida, collected in Ragnarok and Roll and Ragnarok and a Hard Place, both published by Plus One Press; and the new Supernatural Crimes Unit urban fantasy series, forthcoming from Weird Tales Presents. He's also got an extensive résumé of media tie-in fiction, having written novels, short fiction, and comic books in more than thirty licensed universes, from Alien to Zorro, the latest of which includes the Resident Evil comic book Infinite Darkness: The Beginning and short stories in Star Trek Explorer. In 2009, he was given a Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers, which means he never needs to achieve anything ever again.When he's not writing, Keith is an editor (for clients both personal and corporate), a martial artist (he achieved his fourth-degree black belt in karate in 2021, and he regularly teaches karate to kids), an avid New York Yankees fan, and probably some other stuff he can't remember due to the lack of sleep.
