    About this ebook

    Four previously published stories of sex, madness, magic, and murder from the mind of A. Craig Newman.
    “Circe's Music Shop” Johnny Teardrop is a mob boss looking for his missing men. He meets Tamisha in her store “Circe’s Music Shop”, where the trail of the missing men goes cold. Johnny learns that there is no Circe and his men did come by. He also discovers that magic is real and there are indeed fates worse than death.
    Randall's Visit: Randall is trying to focus on his therapy session with a new doctor. The ghost of a little girl torments him every moment. The doctor can’t see her, but there’s so much more Randall is hiding.
    Archer Nash: Archer takes a drive to help him cope with a hard day at work. His best friend may have to fire him. His father and grandmother can’t get along. His wife tries to help him relax. A chance encounter on the road reminds him that death is always nearby. A constant chase. But is Archer the chased or the chaser?
    Dierste Hamelin and the Pied Piper: Dierste has always had men wrapped around her finger. Her husband works overtime to pay for a lifestyle he can’t afford. Her lover agrees to kill her husband for the insurance money. She’s a puppet master who is about to learn who is really pulling the strings.

      “That’s the thing,” my friend Tomas said. “They always get it wrong. Every time, they get it wrong. They always get the wrong people. Once we get out of this,” he spread his arms and shook his head, as if to say—This colossal fuck-fest of a mess we’v
