Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2008

SIN is the first in a new series of provocative anthologies delving into human behavior. Written by top Chicago-based fiction authors, SIN's short stories explore how we as ordinary men and women cope with circumstances that test our convictions: a loving husband's desperation during the Katrina disaster (Paoletti), a woman's struggle to accept family secrets that contradict stories she heard as a child (Campbell), a contract killer's reassessment of morality and duty as he carries out his final assignment (Frieden), a young woman's life-changing altercation with a Chicago gang (Borcherts), and so much more. The stories range from crime mysteries, to fantasy to noir. The second in the series, SEX: A Dangerous Anthology, is due out in 2011.
