Bøger af M. H. Callway

Snake Oil and Other Tales is the second collection of short stories by author M.H. Callway. These dark tales include strange guardians, mysterious bakeries, faithful dogs and yes, the slithery reptiles that strike fear in even the toughest bro's heart. Many were finalists for the Crime Writers of Canada Awards for Excellence. They stretch from traditional mysteries to thrillers to speculative fiction and even to horror. What unites them are the characters struggling for justice-or their own warped perception thereof. Danny Bluestone and Corazon Amorsolo, the protagonists of Callway's debut novel, Windigo Fire, return in the thriller, Last Island. And Dr. Benjamin Amdur, the hero of Amdur's Cat, has a second adventure in Amdur's Ghost, a finalist for the 2023 CWC Best Novella Award. "M. H.
