$8.99This is a slick collection of well written short stories, some of which have been turned into movies. “The Body” – Stand by Me in movie form – is my personal favorite. “Apt Pupil” – an ultra creepy story about a 13 year old boy who discovers that a neighbor is more than just a quiet old man: he was a former nazi, who butchered and tortured. The boy becomes obsessed, forcing the man to tell him about the horrors of concentration camps and his evil past. The boy fantasizes about all of it, enjoying every detail.

Carter (The Emperor of Ocean Park), returns with another tale of intrigue and murder. In the summer of 1952, twenty prominent men gather at a secret meeting on Martha's Vineyard and devise a plot to manipulate the President of the United States. Soon after, the body of one of these men is found by Eddie Wesley, Harlem's rising literary star. When Eddie's younger sister mysteriously disappears, Eddie is pulled into what becomes a twenty-year search for the truth.
