Patti Henderson has put together an awesome collection of stories that will have you thinking twice about your furry friends every time they walk in the room. Spend the evening with Mota, Roscoe, Tuba and the rest and be prepared to be entertained with 21 stories of murder and mayhem, each pulling back the curtain on what lurks within the feline soul. What is more important is that the entire book is a labor of love. Everyone involved with the project donated their time and talents. All proceeds from book sales go to national animal charities. So settle in with a cup of cocoa or knock out a quick read on the weekday commute and help out shelters and homeless cats across the country. You will be glad you did!

Dark Things II: Cat Crimes is a collection of twenty-one feline themed stories, from criminal cats to selfless, adoring cats, to vampire kitties, to shape-shifting cat spirits, to . . well, let's just say naturally carnivorous kitties, shall we? The stories all range in length, and the end result is a pretty solid book (I believe the print version runs some two hundred and fifty pages) with some pretty solid writing. Nay, some pretty creepy writing, in places. The book is very professionally done (let's here it for indy publishers who do the work to make their stuff professional!) and the writing is top-notch.
As a cat lover, I can get behind stories told from animal points of view, though I'll be honest -- I was wary at first. I've read some great animal fiction, but I've also read some terrible animal point of view fiction, and I know it can go either way. But even the light stories in here (if one can call them such, in such a collection) were not overly cutesy and unrealistic. And that's the rule for me, I guess. Even if we're dealing with vampire cats or goddess servant feline spirits, I need the catlike beings to be, you know, catlike. And, in these stories, they were.
My favorite stories were, hands down, What Sekhmet Keeps by J.D. Revezzo; Roscoe and the Succubus by Margaret Phillips; The Boardwalk Cats by Ken Goldman; and Free to a Good Home by Shanna Germain, which creeped the hell out of me, and likely because . . .*looks around at her horde of kitties* Well. We won't go there.
The proceeds from this collection goes to two different cat sanctuaries, one in Florida and one in California. As someone who has rescued cats and knows the plight of strays and feral kitties, I know just how important this is. So, do yourself a favor: buy a great collection of stories and, in doing so, give money to a just cause!

Delightful and devilish stories about our four-legged friends. However, cute and cuddly at times, these critters can also play out human emotions. Revenge, anxiety, love and doubt, are just a few of them. Stories are short, easy and quick reading. And most definitely, a good evening's enjoyment.

Very dark kitties
What a fun book! And dark, very dark. Who knew there were kitty vamps, and kitties that kill for their owners and ghost kitties. I loved every one of these twisted short stories. Read more
