Résumé

Nobody captures the delight of magic-or makes you feel its cost-quite like DeAnna Knippling, veteran author of 80+ wonderfully strange books for interesting people. On the coldest night of 1929, the Honeybee's Sting-a basement speakeasy under a laundry-smells of damp brick and rotgut whiskey. Bare bulbs cut too-bright shadows across the room while a blizzard rages outside. The sharp-eared kid watching the door planned to push a broom for twenty minutes and spend the rest of the night with a battered copy of Black Mask.
A quiet night. Then the private guests start arriving: a dame in otter fur, a famous detective nursing a killing cough, a millionaire old enough to be the devil's grandfather, a doctor with blood on his cuffs and news that the party's final member just turned up dead. Once a decade, a table of cunning liars, cheats, and thieves gathers to compete for a stolen prize, something in a blood-dotted velvet box that makes scratching noises from the inside.
A prize that can only be won.by a story. Power tells lies that bind. Most people carry those chains without hope of getting free. Even at the Honeybee's Sting, the truth cannot set you free-but the best stories can. Ten tales of magic, deception, and the lies that keep us trapped, or set us free, for fans of historical fantasy and speculative fiction.
Every summer as kids, we would host one group of cousins or another and jump off hay bales, create mazes by crawling the patterns through the tall grass, and steal green apples out of the garden. We also branded calves, killed chickens, and stole steak knives to threaten skunks with. But that's growing up on a farm for you. Now I write fantasy, science fiction, and horror--and most of it comes from the worlds that I created as a farm kid, one way or another.
My first novel, Choose Your Doom: Zombie Apocalypse, was published by Doom Press in 2010 and can be purchased through Meta Geek."This is how I like my zombies: fast and funny. Choose this book, and you won't be choosing your doom. You'll be choosing hours of gooey, gory hilarity."- Steve Hockensmith, New York Times best-selling author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the DreadfulsMy short story, "The End of the World, " about fairies on the Great Plains, received an honorable mention in Ellen Datlow's Best Horror of the Year, Vol.
3. I also write murder-mystery party games for Freeform Games in the UK. See my website and blog at deannaknippling.com.
