Seven authors take a single theme and the end result is the creation of The Dead Shoe Society.

With shoes as a recurring theme woven into incredibly diverse (and clever) stories that involve eerie suspense and shocking revelations, THE DEAD SHOE SOCIETY spans the lines of several genres where each story is told with a uniquely recognizable voice. From the depths of a murky pond, to an undertaker's back room, to the sinister whisperings of a muse gone mad, the authors have created an anthology that's sure to keep mystery and thriller lovers turning the pages into the wee hours of the night.

It might sound odd to say that stories so dark and sinister were "fun" to read ... but they were!

What a collection! I found out about this anthology through an amazing author I follow - Jonas Saul. I cannot get enough of his writing. Once I'd read this entire book, I have now found a new batch of amazing writers. Seriously well done and professional. Great writing and these authors have come into their own. I'm surprised by Mr. Penner. Great story by Souza and Kate Cornwell had me laughing along with the murdering. The rest of the writers are just as sound. Well done!!!

If nothing else, "The Dead Shoe Society" is an engaging and clever use of the theme of footwear. But it's so much more ... it's a collection of murder mixed with a little horror, and a terrific blend of fresh voices. If you like a touch of humor, chills, and stories that keep you guessing until the end, check out this collection -- it's a great read.
