What the Hell Did I Just Read?

In this blistering anthology, Troy Lambert and Kristen Lamb fuse crime noir, urban fantasy, supernatural thriller, and satirical horror into thirteen linked yet standalone tales. A shadow syndicate called Solitaire shuffles in and out, while bridges, dogs, storms, and a stack of playing cards bind the world between stories.

A detective inherits a dog named Lucifer and a case that bites back. A battle-scarred EOD tech hunts a billionaire who stole valor and ghosts. A boy at a crossroads, a surgeon of fallen faith, and a bestselling elder with dangerous muses discover that every miracle is itemized—and every debt collects.

Prayers turn predatory, weather obeys rage, and storytelling itself demands blood. Razor-wry and unflinching, these stories deliver brutal turns, eerie wonder, and gut-punch finales for fans of the grittier side of Black Mirror, Joe Hill, Neil Gaiman, and Gillian Flynn.
