SUSPENSE STORIES TO KEEP YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEATThere is a peculiar allure of insidious characters-and especially assassins, hitmen, contract killers, and their ilk. Perhaps we find their uncomplicated moral codes and brutal efficiency appealing. These characters care little about ethics or morals-and perhaps that alone, that freedom from guilt, is exactly why we love them. Perhaps, deep down, we wish we could be like them. And perhaps, by reading stories with such characters, we can vicariously experience that thrill.PROPULSIVE, SUSPENSEFUL CRIME FICTIONWith this fascination with evil characters in mind, Smart Rhino Publications decided to publish this anthology, Insidious Assassins, a sequel to Uncommon Assassins. The book contains 24 stories by some of the best horror, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy authors writing today. Here you will meet some truly insidious characters-twisted characters you may find yourself applauding when you know you shouldn't. Enjoy "Another entertaining anthology from Weldon Burge that is certain to get your adrenaline flowing and to cost you hours of sleep. What a wonderful collection of stories.
