A collection of twenty-five horror and suspense stories explores the realms of superstition, imagination, and unearthly terror
From the likes of Robert Randisi, Peter Crowther, and Max Rittenberg, these 30 stories of bizarre and impossible crimes will fascinate and intrigue the reader who grapples with their intricate puzzles. A man alone in an all-glass phone booth, visible on CCTV and with no one near him, is killed by an ice pick. A man sitting alone in a room is shot by a bullet fired only once—over 200 years ago. A man enters a cable-car alone, and is visible for the entire journey, only to be found dead when he reaches the bottom. A man receives mail in response to letters apparently written by him — after his death. The Mammoth Book of Perfect Crimes and Impossible Mysteries is a stunning collection of brand new and previously unpublished stories, as well as many stories from rare mystery journals appearing for the first time in book form.
This collection of four novellas of humanity's struggle for survival in the far future features "Watching Trees Grow" by Peter F. Hamilton; "Reality Dust" by Stephen Baxter; "Making History" by Paul McAuley; and "Tendeleo's Story" by Ian McDonald.
