Praise for The Best New True Crime Stories: Small Towns

“Here be monsters! This brilliant collection of gruesome small-town misdeeds spanning a century and four continents will have you running for the comfort and safety of the big city.”

—Peter Houlahan, author of Norco ’80

“Having written about famous serial killers, as well as murders that occur in small towns, I can tell you that some of the most shocking murders often take place in small towns, small communities, and places so remote that most of the world will never hear about them. However, that’s not the case for those reading The Best New True Crime Stories: Small Towns, as they’re in for an eye-opening excursion into the world of murder, often committed by the neighbors and friends of those who live in these small towns. Without question, it’s a book you won’t soon forget!”

—Kevin M. Sullivan, author of Through an Unlocked Door: In Walks Murder

“Mitzi Szereto has assembled a group of today’s brightest and best authors for this truly extraordinary anthology. Brilliant!”

—Dan Zupansky, author and host of True Murder

“Remember the saying ‘The devil is in the details’? Well, it’s small towns that deal in details as they unfold in scary, thrilling, and sometimes gruesome fashion. Mitzi Szereto’s new true crime anthology is filled with the devil and the details—great stories and fantastic writing. After reading this book, you will look at your neighbors in a whole new way… Or, perhaps never again!”

—Bob Batchelor, cultural historian and author of The Bourbon King: The Life and Crimes of George Remus, Prohibition’s Evil Genius

“Mitzi Szereto has compiled another exciting true crime anthology and what sets this apart from the usual examination of horrific crimes is the fact that the authors wrote about gruesome crimes committed in more rural communities. She found stories that look deeper into each crime to reveal the community that spawned the criminals and how that community reacted. A very thought-provoking compilation in the true crime milieu.”

—Gary Jenkins, mob author and host of the popular mob podcast, Gangland Wire
