출판사 설명
Available for the first time as an eBook, New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey’s thrilling short story Harlem
“People called me Harlem. I dubbed myself after that dangerous neighborhood that I’d never seen. I read life is rough in Harlem, and a black man isn’t expected to live to see twenty-five. I was twenty-three. The clock was ticking.”
When Harlem gets off on a murder charge due to insanity, the asylum he’s sent to feels worse than death, with one exception: the beautiful nurse Daphane. As their relationship grows, so do the stakes: she has the ability to help him escape, and he has the ability to set her free from her abusive relationship. Yet Harlem has one big secret: he was perfectly sane when he committed his crime. But in the end, Daphane’s own secret may be the deadliest of all. . . .
Includes an excerpt from Eric’s upcoming novel, Before We Were Wicked, coming April 2019. Harlem was previously published in the 2006 anthology Voices from the Other Side.

Intriguing. What a plot twist!
This book will have you wondering what happens next. It’s a nonstop, can’t put down read. Don’t be surprised, it is a short story indeed. Short but worth it. Amazing. What a plot twist. We didn’t see the ending coming.
Harlem…
Very interesting read and well written. Harlem was multifaceted, raw and rugged but still saw the good in people. That trust led to his demise. Thoroughly enjoyed the story.
Interesting
This was one of the best short stories I’ve read in a long time. Read it, and see for yourself.
