Tom Piccirilli recommends

Guises (2002)
Charlee Jacob
"[Charlee] drapes her fiction in mysticism, dives deep into the unexplainable, the enigmatic and the totally insane."

Atmosphere (2002)
Michael Laimo
"Michael Laimo is a writer on the rise. his stories are filled with effective intensity and oddity."

Dominion (2008)
Greg F Gifune
"Gifune's work is distinguished, sharp, and moody as all hell. I'm a big fan, and you should be too."

21 Tales (2010)
Dave Zeltserman
"Dave Zeltserman is one of the crime genre's most accomplished, radical, and innovative talents... I only wish that 21 Tales had been 51 Tales or 101 Tales. We need more of his edgy stories to rattle the field."

Follow Her Home (2013)
(Juniper Song Mystery, book 1)
Steph Cha
"A gripping narrative voice that's as fun as it is funky, sharp, and evocative."

Factory Town (2014)
Jon Bassoff
"Factory Town is a journeyman's surreal voyage through the very heart of hell. A novel full of a crazed, ugly, vivid, disturbing energy held together by a deft hand. Bassoff is the king of creepy crime-horror fiction."
