Original tales about the other, moodier season of change Some of the short stories and poems in Autumn Noir unfold as gently as a wisp of chimney smoke. Others bring the heart-thumping thrills of an end-of-summer storm. All feature characters as vibrant as fall foliage and dialogue as crisp as autumn air. Join the down (but maybe not quite out), the struggling, the wicked, the forlorn, and the broken-hearted as they stumble and sometimes fall all the way down. To paraphrase Bette Davis, "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy read." ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Find some of your favorite authors and discover some new ones.
