Discount Noir

I've always heard it said that it's hard to sell anthologies. But they're cropping up everywhere! Yesterday I mentioned Chris Funkmeister Holm's 8 POUNDS collection, and the contest at his blog to win the Beat To A Pulp - Round 1 Anthology.

Today, I want to tell you about Patricia Abbott and Steve Weddle's new antho, DISCOUNT NOIR.

Uh...but I'm not gonna do that. I'm just gonna copy and paste Amazon.com's copy here.

If you thought standing in line at your local megastore was murder, then you haven't been to Megamart. These flash fiction tales of superstore madness and mayhem will make you think twice the next time you hear "clean up on aisle 13."

This anthology contains works by: Patricia Abbott, Sophie Littlefield, Kieran Shea, Chad Eagleton, Ed Gorman, Cormac Brown, Fleur Bradley, Alan Griffiths, Laura Benedict, Garnett Elliot, Eric Beetner, Jack Bates, Bill Crider, Loren Eaton, John DuMond, John McFetridge, Toni McGeeCausey, Jeff Vande Zande, James Reasoner, Kyle Minor, Randy Rohn, Todd Mason, Byron Quertermous, Sandra Scoppettone, Stephen D. Rogers, Steve Weddle, Evan Lewis, Daniel B. O'Shea, Sandra Seamans, Albert Tucher, Donna Moore, John Weagly, Keith Rawson, Gerald So, Dave Zeltserman, Dorte Hummelshoj Jakobsen, Jay Stringer, Anne Frasier, Kathleen A. Ryan, Eric Peterson, Chris Grabenstein and J.T. Ellison.

Looks pretty good, the list of contributors? Damn good, I'm thinking. And beaucoups of them. Which is why I'm going to suggest you highlight the ones that interest you - Steve Weddle is very pretty - right click on the name and select SEARCH GOOGLE FOR "STEVE WEDDLE", or whomever, because I'll be damned if I'm gonna try to search out all of the various URLs associated with each name and link them up. Ain't got the time nor inclination.

Ugh. I'm a little crotchety this morning.

Anyway, get that bad mofo. Read it. Review. Report.

DISCLAIMER: I did NOT design the cover. Just FYI. Don't associate me with that one. Thank you.
