All the Petty Myths

Lurking in your hometown and countless others, urban legends and folklore are all around us. To many, they exist solely as myth. But not for all. Sometimes a body is found, apparently killed by something from stories. Sometimes someone goes missing, all the clues pointing to something only spoken of around campfires. Then the police are called, or a detective, who must discover if there really is something in those stories... Featuring M.H. Norris' "Midnight," which debuts her new series. Dr. Rosella Tassoni, a Forensic Mythologist, is hired by the FBI to consult on a case where seeming old world folklore is cross-contaminated by internet fauxlore. High school students are being murdered. Will the experience break her? A detective who wishes to write his own mysteries, but can't bring his words to life, is now trapped in a "Locked Room" mystery by Marc Sorondo. Is the killer a ghost, or a clever human? Sherlock Holmes and his partner's partner, Mary Watson, investigate a mad artists. He insists his doppelganger has replaced him, and that he himself is locked away in his painting. How can he see a painting which no-one else can see? James Bojaciuk answers this question in "Doppelgangers (and Other Artistic Piffle)." A mournful soul on a lonely highway, calling for death, is the center of a murder case in D.J. Tyrer's "Tuttle and Gretel." What is the Vanishing Hitchhiker? Presented by award-winning mystery author M.H. Norris, All the Petty Myths confronts folklore and urban legends with detectives, FBI agents, and private investigators.
