Editorial Reviews

Jeffery Deaver

Brilliant! As a lover of music and a lover of top-notch short-form fiction, I was in heaven reading the wonderful stories in this anthology. Word of warning: Set aside some time. Once you start, you won’t want to stop until you get to the very last page! Bravo!”

Men’s Journal

A new anthology of short mystery stories by a variety of authors…and yes, it’s inspired by the song of the same name by rock legend Meat Loaf…The title story, “Bat Out of Hell,” is written by Andrew Child and is an official stand-alone Jack Reacher story!”
