Short Stories
Kwik Krimes

by Otto Penzler, ed.
Thomas & Mercer, August 2013, $14.95

Otto Penzler is the editor of Kwik Krimes, which contains even more stories than his Big Book of Christmas Mysteries collection (over 80). These stories, however, are shorter, as the title would indicate. In fact, they’re all told in fewer than a thousand words. Penzler plucked some of them from electronic magazines and commissioned others. They’re all fast and fun. As the blurb says, they “come and go as quickly as a gunshot.” (Disclaimer: I have a story in this book.)
