Storm Warnings

by Nancy Pickard

Fans of mystery, crime, fantasy, and horror will love this collection of stories by internationally acclaimed mystery writer Nancy Pickard. From a never-before-published story sure to thrill readers to eight other award-winning cautionary tales, these nine stories are linked by signs of foreboding, paths that lead to unexpected places, and the craftiness of human nature-showing that men and women, when faced with the subtle portents of disaster, may ignore warnings at their own peril.

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book of short stories .... a little on the dark side. If you are a Stephen King fan then you should give this a try.

Don't usually read short stories, but I really like Pickard and these stories are great.

[Denise · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read these short mystery stories a few years ago. Some of the images from the stories are haunting. Good short mysteries with a dark feel.

weird book. Not what I was expecting at all. It was a collection of short stories about murder.
