Short Stories
With multiple editors, Mark Ammons, Catherine Fast, Barbara Ross, and Leslie Wheeler, Best New England Crime Stories 2015: Rogue Wave contains 29 stories with as much variety in setting and tone as you could hope for. For example Stephen D. Rogers’ “Wehrkraftzersetzung” is a traditional detective story set in WWII on the Russian front. Quite a combination. Mark Ammons’ “Diary of a Serial Killer” is the shortest story you’ll read this year (probably), being one word long. It’s hard to beat that.
