Fresh Kills, Tales from the Kill Zone by multiple authors

fresh-kills-cover1.jpgFresh Kills is a collection of original short stories by 7 ITW members who are the authors of the popular literary blog The Kill Zone. These killer tales vary from the paranormal to the chilling to the just plain scary. Each delivers a finely crafted tale that will keep you clicking through the pages.

In John Gilstrap's suspenseful "In The After," an intruder demands the impossible of Tony Emerson--he wants to set the clock back 18 years and retrieve the childhood that Tony stole from him.

John Ramsey Miller's terrifying "Family Again" tells of an orphaned child who gets lost in the woods and, while searching for refuge, knocks on the wrong door.

In James Scott Bell's "Laughing Matters," a down-on-his-luck comedian gets a big break, though it comes with a very strange string attached.

Michelle Gagnon's thrilling "The Chicken Guy" reveals how FBI Special Agent Kelly Jones--who was first introduced in her novel The Tunnels--survives an encounter with a ruthless killer in an abandoned chicken processing plant.

In Kathryn Lilley's compelling paranormal story, "Blood Remains," a victim of childhood abuse returns home after many years only to discover that while memories fade, blood remains.

Joe Moore's "Final Flight" delivers a gripping tale of a WWII pilot on a secret mission with a mysterious cargo who lets curiosity get the best of him.

In Clare Langley-Hawthorne's evocative story, "The Angel in the Garden," Australian police constable Duff McManus must confront both the death of a childhood friend long considered a traitor, as well as his own wartime memories.

The authors of the Fresh Kills anthology include national bestseller and former trial lawyer James Scott Bell, IMBA top-10 bestseller thriller author Michelle Gagnon, New York Times bestseller John Gilstrap, IMBA bestseller and former Australian attorney Clare Langley-Hawthorne, former journalist Kathryn Lilley, New York Times bestseller John Ramsey Miller, and international bestseller Joe Moore.
