DIFFERENT KINDS OF
DEAD
AND OTHER TALES



A mysterious and beautiful girl who teaches arrogant young men about true love
A lonely traveling salesman who learns that his passenger is death
Children who can absorb the psychic pain of their parents
A desperately pursued serial killer who hides his face under gauze in a hospital room
A woman who loves the alien infant nobody else wants
These stories and ten others make up the new Ed Gorman collection Different Kinds of Dead and Other Tales, stories that have earned him such accolades as "One of the most original writers in crime fiction today" (Kirkus) and "One of the world's great storytellers" (Million, UK).

Here you'll find the extraordinary range of storytelling skill and powerful emotions that won Gorman the prized International Fiction award and caused Mystery News to say of his previous collection: "A powerful, disturbing, often poetic collection filled with writing that is a model of clarity and right narrative control."
