Encyclopocalypse Publications

For decades, the work of mystery writer Peter Paige (Morton Wolson) sat unseen in private files. Now, for the first time, these lost stories are finally in print. This collection gathers nine twisted noir tales-including "To Be, or Be to Not, " "The Deal, " "Shock Performances, " "The Facks of Life, " "She Loved to Kill, " "Play with Fire, " "The Big Bust, " "Ape, " and "Alas, Mystery!" Each story opens a different trapdoor: from a tense lunchtime encounter to a deadly bargain, a lover's deception, a simmering vendetta, and the haunting aftermath of choices made in the shadows. Paige's long-unpublished tales reveal a writer at his most inventive and unpredictable.
Even a vanished letter opener becomes the key to a diabolical puzzle no detective can resist. Twisty, atmospheric, and proudly offbeat, Dangerous Turns is a rare look at a master storyteller working without a safety net-where every tale ends somewhere you'd least expect.
