We're all very thankful that you decided to check out our collection of short stories, poetry, and essays.

This ebook began as a small writer's workshop, started by Franz in the late summer of 2016. Many of us take up writing as an important hobby and have been doing it for many years. After a couple of months of sharing stories with one another, giving feedback either in person or in "e-sessions", Nick proposed the idea of publishing our stories, which all of us agreed to right away. Ken Abru, who would be like our "agent" gave everyone in our group the insight we needed to go about publishing online, and his help is one of the most invaluable parts of this ebook.

After 3 months of vetting our writing, editing, revising, proofreading, and Joe being a nag, the stories, their arrangement, and our distribution was ready.

50% of the book can be previewed, so you get a chance to see work from almost all of us (except for Scott's story, so make sure to download this).

If you're wondering about the title, Lucien mulled over a title to publish work under back in 2014. The name comes from the "Detective Stories" pulp magazines, and was honestly the best name we all could come up with years later. It has been genuinely satisfying to release this after a demanding college semester, and we hope you find satisfaction in this new project too.
