The tales here cover every corner of dark fiction, from the time-warped noir of "Dirty Coppers" to the blood-red west of "The Custer Files." But it's in traditional horror that he really ups the ante. The particulars may seem familiar at first--the rainy-day child murders in "Roses and Raindrops," t

SYNOPSIS
Gathered here for the first time ever are seventeen short stories, two essays, and a short script by award winning and New York Times, bestselling author, Richard Chizmar.
Eerie, suspenseful, poignant, the stories in The Long Way Home run the gamut from horror to suspense, crime to dark fantasy, mainstream to mystery. This brand new collection features more than 100,000 words of short fiction, as well as more than 5,000 words of autobiographical Story Notes. Chizmar s previous short story collection, A Long December , was published in 2016 to starred reviews from Library Journal and Kirkus , and was included on numerous Best Books of the Year lists. Entertainment Weekly gave the book high praise: Each tale is a magic trick, luring you toward the light while leading you down an ever-darkening path. There is hope mingled with horror, and that s Chizmar s secret power. His storytelling always beats with a huge, passionate heart.
Stephen King says he writes terrific stories served with a very large slice of Disquiet Pie, and with The Long Way Home , Richard Chizmar has taken his evocative and compelling storytelling to an entirely new level.
