A Cry of Hounds
ByPublisher Description
Body and Soul, the Hunt Is On!
Hounds, faithful, tenacious, and oft the subject of otherworldly lore. Will they stand beside you or hunt you down? Only time (and the tale) will tell. We present eleven tales inspired by the master of mystery, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, paying tribute to his genius for deduction and his passion for things beyond the ken of mortal men.
In conjunction with the Tell-Tale Steampunk Festival, we bring you stories by:
Christopher D. Abbott * Keith R.A. DeCandido * Aaron Rosenberg * David Lee Summers * Dana Fraedrich * Jessica Lucci * Doc Coleman * James Chambers * Danielle Ackley-McPhail * Ef Deal * John L. French * Bill Bodden
