In On It: short stories of unexpected murder - the complete collection

Comedian and criminal defense attorney Scott James Meyer, author of BlueBloody: motivational memoirs of an ivy league high school dropout, brings you a fresh and frightening new work of crime fiction. Written as an offbeat love letter to Hitchock, Dahl, Knight, Brubaker, Collier, Ellin, Bloch, Christie, Serling, Ritchie and the rest, these short stories are provocative and genre-bending tales that innovate within the classic suspense and noir traditions. Clutch your pearls because your fix of disillusioned, ironic, cynical, sardonic and twisted pulp tales is here. This is a sugar rush of short stories about everyday murder, revenge, anxiety and bad luck. They are neighborly noir stories full of head fakes, deception and murder. These are intriguing, playful modern mysteries with old school suspense vibes. Twisted, cheeky and edgy without being explicit, these are irreverent takes on our favorite assumptions within the murder mystery format. Things here are… not quite right, let’s say. These are very alert and unapologetic stories that ask questions of the genre in dark and quirky ways while consciously retaining what makes this type of writing so enduring. Each has a neck-breaking twist at the end which is probably the only thing they share in common. This is modern, self-aware, rhapsodic pulp guaranteed to get under your skin. Purists beware! You have new things to learn about fear. Nothing is sacred and few things are as they seem. The conventions surrounding the whodunit will never be the same. These stories are as unique as the author himself. Everybody notices but nobody knows… get In On It with Scott James Meyer.
