An Interesting Experiment in Meta Fiction

Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar

by Leave a Comment

In the summer of 1988 a serial killer began stalking the small town of Edgewood, Maryland. Young girls killed and mutilated, their bodies left on display, and zero evidence left behind by the killer. Richard Chizmar, a recent graduate from the University of Maryland, returns home in the middle of the spree just as a curfew has been enacted. As he prepares for his wedding and begins his writing career, he finds himself more entwined with the case than he would have thought possible. Between […]

Another Group of Old Friends That All Actually Hate Each Other

The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley

by 1 Comment

There is something compelling about an old group of friends that is held together more by nostalgia than by any actual feelings for one another. The inside jokes, the same stories told over and over, the images that are formed of people when they’re still growing up that stick to them even into adulthood. The resentments they feel towards one another as their lives go in directions they didn’t anticipate. And the secrets they keep from each other. If those twisting webs of secrets and […]

But for whatever reason he can’t seem to stay signed to a team for more than one season. Besides dealing with the constant upheaval of having to move cities every year, Ryan also struggles with general anxiety, especially around flying – which isn’t something a pro hockey player can exactly avoid.

Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid

Canadian Shane Hollander and Russian Ilya Rosanov are two of the hottest young prospects in professional hockey. They’re first and second in the draft to division rival teams, and the narrative is born: rivals, always competing against each other for records, for wins, for cups. But behind the rivalry is a shared secret: they can’t keep away from one another.
