Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Who doesn't like a good treasure hunt? Who doesn't like discovering new talent on the rise? Both will be found within the covers of KILLER YEAR, an anthology of spanking new talent doing what they do best: getting your blood pumping and holding you breathless on the razor's edge of suspense. Each story is a brilliant, perfectly cut gem—just be careful of those sharp edges. They cut deep to the bone.” —James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of MAP OF BONES and THE JUDAS STRAIN

“I'm for anything that increases writers' odds of enjoying long and successful careers. Let's hope KILLER YEAR does just that, for these writers and generations of writers to come.” —Laura Lippman

“The disturbingly good new talent showcased in this volume bodes well for the future of the genre.” —Publishers Weekly

“The mentors' introductions to these stories, plus brief biographies at the end, should entice readers to longer works by these promising new authors. Even amid a recent rash of anthologies in the genre, this one is well worth a look.” —Library Journal

“Gems come from the 13 [Killer Year] members…. Remarkably for a collection this ample, there's no sign of a clinker.” —Kirkus Reviews
