Crime Fiction Freebie

Hi,

My collection of crime shorts 'Psychopaths Ltd: and Other Stories' is now available from Amazon for $0.99

Alternatively, for a limited period, you can download it for free from Smashwords.

Here's the blurb:

'This criminally twisted collection features seven short-stories that've appeared in US and UK magazines, and includes my award-winning story 'Stinky'.

Share that train journey to work with a cast of desperate and depraved characters. Meet a boy whose favourite pastime is blowing up hamsters, a homicidal stockbroker, a drifter unwittingly caught up in a perverse game, a father willing to go to any lengths to find his missing daughter, a sweet old lady with a dark past, a man bullied for most of his life because of his body odour, and a wife who suspects her husband of the worst crime imaginable.

Some of these stories tell it straight and nasty, others contain a twist in the tail, all will leave you torn between loathing and pity for the ugliness of the lives they portray.'

Here's the Smashwords link:

Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,

Ben

No problem. Should provide some interesting reading for the journey.

If the stories are as well written as The Society of Dirty Hearts, they will make for excellent reading.

Thanks for the kind words, Richard! If you enjoyed my novel, I'm sure you'll enjoy these stories. Now if only I could work out how to convince other people of my novel's merits.
