Darkness Doubled: Collected Fiction Vol. 2

A bitter man vows to commit every major crime in one day.

A scarred teen asks Santa for her heart's desire: Vengeance.

A mob boss unleashes a new breed of hitman.

An ordinary man achieves the perfect body with one addictive flaw.

In 2021, after nearly 25 years, bestselling author Mike Zimmerman returned to writing short fiction and this is the result. Sixteen new tales of the angry, the absurd, the extreme — straight-on crime stories and dark comedy and rising, raging horror and sometimes all of it at once. From Zimmerman's foreword: "I found I had a lot to say. These stories came very easily, like they'd been waiting around for me to turn my attention to them."

Now you can turn your attention to them, too, and find out how, as the years passed and we all bore witness … the darkness doubled.
