“Eyes Like Poisoned Wells
Felix is hired to recover a rare sword that has been stolen from a rich man’s estate.
What at first seems to be a simple case of recovering stolen property turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse where nothing — and no one — is what it seems.
- “Eyes Like Poisoned Wells” received an honourable mention in The Best Horror of the Year, Volume 9.

Notes: | As was the case with “Midnight Blonde,” I wanted to write a story that explores the tropes of the classic detective story — in this case, the rich, mysterious client and the equally mysterious — and dangerous — wife.
Of course I had to put a supernatural spin on things. |
