Author Description

On that fateful gloomy night when, while walking my pet Golem, Murphy Edwards screeched to a halt next to me in his black '65 Lincoln and asked me to join him in producing an anthology featuring Indiana crime writers there was no way I could say "no." I'm still not sure if he intended for me to see the butt of the Glock hanging from a holster inside his dark leather jacket, but I bet he knows the Glock doesn't come with a safety. I met Murph through my Indiana Horror anthology. Yes, there is horror in crime. Just pick up a newspaper. And Murph is an expert writer of crime fiction. He knows crime fiction like Marlowe knows legs. And Murph allowed me to insert horror into crime stories for the anthology (he may have noticed the sliver stake in my shoulder holster). As a result, for example, read Paula D. Ashe's story, or R.k.Kombrinck' s take on trailer trash": horror is everywhere. Indiana Crime will take you for a ride into the dark side of crime. You'll not find hairy monsters like in that lame ass TV show about fairy tales. Indiana Crime will tell you about human monsters. Experience tells me human monsters are the worst of all. Just take a walk with Engelbert. Or fight crime with Thank you Murphy Edwards for stopping me on that starless night and inviting me (ordering me?) into your car. It's been a wild ride. And fun as hell.
