Summer Bludgeon: 33 Mystery/Suspense/Thriller Tales That Will Haunt Your Summer Nights Originally inspired by an earworm involving song lyrics from the 1978 film, *Grease,* "summer lovin'" became "summer bludgeon." Voila! A theme for a new noir collection was born. Disturb Ink Books sent out a call to the creative world, asking for artwork, poetry, and stories that explore the dark corners of the human heart. And then we asked them to set their tales in the sunniest, brightest time of the year. Undaunted, they invited us into workspaces and showed us people at odds. They pulled back the curtains, and let us peek at **broken familial relationships and strained friendships**. They put us in the passenger seat next to characters navigating situations where romantic love has gone very, very wrong. We had (us) a blast with these creative works, and we think you will, too. Be prepared to reconnect with some "old flames" from our other anthologies and to fall head over heels for some newer writers, poets, and artists on the scene. Summer Bludgeon happens so fast...
