Bedlam Trances

From author Nicholas Wagner (Razor Country) comes Bedlam Trances, nine unsettling meditations on crime and horror. In "Crown of Switchblades," Irish gangsters involved in a turf war run afoul of a cult. "The Tragic Events Befalling Lizaveta" follows a 15th century inquisitor as he researches the disappearance of monks from a German monastery. And in "Ceremony," a private detective tracks a missing acquaintance to a mysterious art commune. This collection of menacing tales examines morally gray characters as they navigate cruel, unforgiving scenarios.
