Stone's Throw 2025

Twelve more tales for your dark delight. Another year of hard-hitting crime fiction and noir.

Now in its third year, Stone's Throw is the online companion to Rock and a Hard Place Magazine. Each month, we offered a theme for writers to wax darkly on-war, greed, hubris, pop punk, and the office holiday party. Each month, our writers delivered the goods.

The stories debuted on the web, before landing in the print anthology you now hold. Crack it open and enjoy what comes spilling out.
