Murder Most Confederate: Tales of Crimes Quite Uncivil

by Martin H. Greenberg (Editor)

Amidst the tension and drama of a war that pits brother against brother and father against son, the dark side of men and women can reach a boiling point. Here are stories of betrayal, murder and malevolence in a world already marked by besieged honor, drenched in blood and death. These stories masterfully conjure up the sights, sounds and smells of a lost era and therein spin tales of terror and treachery such as "Blossoms and Blood," "The Cobblestones of Saratoga Street," and "A Woman's Touch." This chilling collection is perfect for those who like a little suspense with their history.

Reviews

[Lu · Rating 3 out of 5]

An anthology of short stories thinly linked in an historical setting. Some were dependent on that period some were not. Some were a good tight read some were meh. Since the last two were the best for my money I am glad I finished the book.

Some very good short stories in this book. I especially enjoyed "Veterans" by John Lutz, "A House Divided" by Marc Bilgrey, and "The Cobblestones of Saratoga Street" by Avram Davidson.
