Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

From the same series and the same anthologist, Murder Most Postal: Homicidal Tales That Deliver a Message offers epistolary mystery and horror from 21 writers. In Greenberg's story, a hubristic young author is fatally cursed by a scorned publisher. Joyce Harrington tells of a lonely inmate sending letters out into the void. Ellery Queen and Edgar Allan Poe are also featured.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really neat anthology of certainly different crime stories..., February 3, 2006
a good book if you want something that will shake your imagination and keep you interested.

This is an anthology of the most bizarre postal related mysteries. Neat because you can read one a day or the whole book. I just don't think that before going to bed is a good time...they may disturb your slumber.

Part of the "Murder Most..." series and well edited by Martin Greenberg. Just thorougly enjoyable..you will love it.
