Tiny Crimes
Tiny Crimes: Very Short Tales of Mystery and Murder | Lincoln Michel, Nadxieli Nieto
8 posts | 7 read | 16 to read
Forty very short stories that reimagine the genre of crime writing from some of today’s most imaginative and thrilling writers "This collection of rabbit-punch stories demonstrate the limitless power and possibilities of crime/noir, a genre not afraid to tell you all about the downtrodden and outsiders who are gonna get you and get you good. Tiny Crimes packs a big wallop." —Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Cabin at the End of the World Tiny Crimes gathers leading and emerging literary voices to tell tales of villainy and intrigue in only a few hundred words. From the most hard-boiled of noirs to the coziest of mysteries, with diminutive double crosses, miniature murders, and crimes both real and imagined, Tiny Crimes rounds up all the usual suspects, and some unusual suspects, too. With illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook and flash fiction by Carmen Maria Machado, Benjamin Percy, Amelia Gray, Adam Sternbergh, Yuri Herrera, Julia Elliott, Elizabeth Hand, Brian Evenson, Charles Yu, Laura van den Berg, and more, Tiny Crimes scours the underbelly of modern life to expose the criminal, the illegal, and the depraved.

I liked a few of these stories and think this is a really cool idea. But most of them were just not for me. I may pick it up and reread again in the future. #LitsyAtoZ #TheLetterT

Enjoying these short stories and being able to read one here and there in between things. "Airport Paperback" is one of my favorites in this volume so far.

With only snippets of time to read in the midst of a crazy week, this book of short stories seemed to fit the bill.

After spending the whole day moving and unpacking, I‘m so grateful I can dip my feet in my pool(!) and enjoy a drink and take a reading break.

First off: adorable cover. Second: very fun premise! This slim novel contains 40 very short stories - some as short as two pages! Definitely intrigued. #jesshowbookmail
