When a Stranger Comes to Town
When a Stranger Comes to Town | Michael Koryta
2 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
The latest Mystery Writers of America story collection, featuring terrifying tales of encounters with strangers from some of the top bestsellers and award winners in crime fiction It’s been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there’s something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. No matter how or where they appear, strangers are walking mysteries, complete unknowns in once-familiar territories who disrupt our lives with unease and wonder. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers such as Michael Connelly, Dean Koontz and Joe Hill.

I'm forever trying to catch up on my TBR, especially all of the books I download on Edelweiss like the book glutton wanton I am. This was a great collection of mysteries and thrillers, and an amazing collection of writers! Most of the stories were 4 or 5 stars, and none were duds, so I'm definitely recommending it. #Readin22 #tbr #audio

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories - a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. There's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. Michael Koryta has put together an excellent collect of short stories. Each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst.

EadieB It featuring stories by prolific mystery writers such as Michael Connelly, Lisa Unger and Joe Hill. I don't really like short stories but did enjoy the ones in this collection. I found many of them entertaining and plan on reading regular length novels by some of these authors. If you are a fan of crime thrillers, then I feel you will enjoy this collection too. #WhenAStrangerComesToTown #MichaelKoryta #BookSpinBingo #August2021 3y
