Jessica Augustsson is the editor-in-chief of JayHenge Publishing. She is a grammar nerd, eclipse chaser, part-time writer, and a bit of a geek. As the editor of spec-fic anthologies, most of her writing can be found nestled among the words of other authors, but she can’t help typing out a few of her own stories now and then. As for speculative fiction in her own life, she was voted by her Idaho high school class to be the most likely to go live on the moon; when she was 20, she moved to Sweden so she guesses that’s pretty close.
Unearthly Sleuths contains short stories about unusual investigators. I wasn't too happy that there was no way to skip forward to a particular story, or page numbers to find a specific one. But these were my favorites:
The Finder by Ariel Ptak Florence has the ability to find lost things. But maybe just this once she'll find a lost person.
Social Situations by Kimber Camacho Kenth is the assistant, and great admirer, of a gifted freelance investigator. Rillam is better with mysteries than people. A cultural misunderstanding will require them both to work together in a new way.
Veuve Noir by C.A. Harland An arachnid on the force is searching for the legendary bar of debauchery, Silk.
Inspector Wolf and the Hill of Beans by Shondra Snodderly The Inspector is on the case for his friend, Bo Peep. If only the disguise he had to wear to pretend to be one of her sheep wasn't so uncomfortable!
Trouble by Ariel Ptak A sheriff rides into the old dusty town to fulfill a bounty.
