Zoe Sharp, (England) author of the highly acclaimed Charlie Fox crime thriller series: “Reading this collection has been a treat. The scale and imagination of the stories stretches from the Moby Dick of grizzly bears, campfire tales of giant wolves, a ghost train in the desert and the perils of staying just a little too long at the late-night antique store, via the lure of the stars—either above a midnight lake or spread across a movie theatre ceiling—making friends with new (and old) neighbors, and how far ...
