This guy has a wonderfully twisted mind! Buckle up for a scary ride. - Peter James, International bestselling crime thriller author
Deeds of Darkness is the best short fiction by award-winning author William Burton McCormick. A collection of twenty-four globetrotting stories of suspense, mystery, crime, espionage, horror, and historical genres from the pages of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Mystery Magazine, and elsewhere. Deeds of Darkness includes stories nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award, Shamus Award, Thriller Award, and five Derringer Award-nominated stories. Also included are two unabridged novellas, Demon in the Depths, which finished second in the Ellery Queen's Readers' Poll for 2021, and House of Tigers, named to the Honor Roll for both the Black Orchid Novel Award and the Mysterious Bookshop's Best Mystery Stories of 2023. Deeds of Darkness takes readers from war-torn Eastern Europe to gangster America and deep below the frozen seas of the Arctic Ocean. From modern tales of crime to World War II espionage to ghost stories in shadowy Odessa and murder in Ancient Rome, every flavor of suspense and adventure awaits within.
McCormick is one of the most inventive and original writers currently working in the mystery short story field. - Janet Hutchings, Editor-in-Chief, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine
