About this series

Enjoy some of the best short fiction being published today in this three-book bundle containing three crime volumes of Fiction River: An Original Anthology Magazine.

Fiction River is an original fiction anthology series. Modeled on successful anthology series of the past, from Orbit to Universe to Pulphouse: The Hardback Magazine, the goal of Fiction River is to provide a forum for “original ground-breaking fiction of all genres.” Each Fiction River volume comes in ebook and trade paperback format, published by WMG Publishing, and features some of the best new and established fiction writers in publishing. Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch are award-winning editors, as well as award-winning writers, and act as series editors for the anthologies. For more information about the authors or Fiction River, go to www.fictionriver.com.

This bundle includes: Past Crime, Hidden in Crime, and Special Edition: Crime.

Past Crime

Laws change from culture to culture, decade to decade. Strange laws make criminals of ordinary citizens. Like the Massachusetts woman whose brother asks her for help, slave hunters at his heels. Or the Chinese immigrant who finds himself in the middle of a crooked game of Fan Tan. Or the Native American detective searching New York’s Stonewall Bar for a ratfink on the night of a world-changing riot. These stories and more prove that once again, Fiction River’s crime volumes have, in the words of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, “high quality throughout.”

Edited by: Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Original stories by: Dory Crowe, Leah Cutter, Jamie McNabb, Dean Wesley Smith, Lee Allred, Richard Quarry, Lisa Silverthorne, Cat Rambo, Kris Nelscott, M. Elizabeth Castle, Michele Lang, and JC Andrijeski.

Hidden in Crime

Imagine paying a fine for walking across town. Or hiding an illegal marriage. Or losing your life for playing the harp. Strange crimes, dangerous activities, some from the not-so-distant past, return to life in Hidden in Crime. See why Publishers Weekly states “… fans of the unconventional will be well satisfied.” Join some of the best authors in the business as they uncover once-hidden crimes.

Edited by: Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Original stories by: Annie Reed, Patrick O’Sullivan, Kelly Washington, Kris Nelscott, Tonya D. Price, Michele Lang, Cindie Geddes, Mario Milosevic, Debbie Mumford, Elliotte Rusty Harold, Angela Penrose, Michael Kowal, Anthea Sharp, Paul Eckheart, Bill Beatty, Dan C. Duval, M. Elizabeth Castle, and Ron Collins.

Special Edition: Crime

From a twisted tale of greed by masterful writer Kate Wilhelm to a dark tale of murder and betrayal by Shamus-award winner Brendan DuBois, Fiction River Special Edition: Crime covers the entire gamut of the mystery genre—cozy to noir. New York Times bestselling author Julie Hyzy joins Edgar Award-winner Doug Allyn and several others to create one of the strongest (and most diverse) anthologies of the season.

Edited by: Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Original stories by: Doug Allyn, Steve Hockensmith, Brendan DuBois, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Julie Hyzy, Melissa Yi, Dæmon Crowe, Libby Fischer Hellmann, Karen Fonville, Karen L.

    Everyone faces dark times. Everyone looks for a light to get through. These fifteen stories show teen heroes/heroines using creativity and heart to find their inner “spark” to overcome adversity, evil, or ignorance. In this anthology for all ages, join a girl who struggles to accept the zombie working at her school, a second-rate superhero who might just have what it takes after all, and a young magic-user who must decide whether to break the rules to save the day. These compelling young heroes/heroines prove sometimes it simply takes a spark to light a fire in the darkness. “If you haven’t checked out Fiction River yet, you should.

    The end of the world might come in many forms: ecological disaster, alien invasion, cosmic chaos…the possibilities for destruction seem endless. So, how will those facing the end of the world deal with impending doom? The fourteen talented authors of Fiction River’s latest volume explore just that. From an intrepid adventurer fleeing a world-destroying terror to a man who discovers the most savage destroyers of civilization are closer than he thought, to a chilling tale of our whole planet hurled into the icy black reaches of space, these gripping stories demonstrate why Astro Guyz calls Fiction River “a wonderful, mind-expanding read.” “These enjoyable twisting short stories seem more like a stop in the Twilight Zone than pulp fiction.” —Midwest Book Review on Fiction River: Recycled Pulp Table of Contents “String of Pearls” by Eric Kent Edstrom “The Shoes I Wore This Morning” by J.

The eighteen daring humans of Fiction River’s latest volume explore just that. From a goblin who must choose whether to risk everything for love to a heroic rat adventuring at sea to sentient underpants (yes, underpants), these nonhuman tales demonstrate why Adventures Fantastic says: “If you haven’t checked out Fiction River yet, you should.

    Editing an anthology can prove tricky business. Wonderful stories sometimes find themselves on the rejection pile simply because they do not fit in the editor's vision of that anthology. So, editor Mark Leslie decided to save some of those amazing stories for this latest volume of Fiction River: Editor's Choice. These tales run the gamut from YA fantasy to cozy crime to slipstream to horror. And they represent the incredible diversity of styles, voices, and genre that inspired Adventures Fantastic to call Fiction River "one of the best and most exciting publications in the field today."
