Description and Opening Lines

New York Times bestselling author Aaron Allston brings you Dead But Hostile, a mini-collection of three short stories (Dead Snowmen, Hostile Takeover, and Mikey's Coming Home) about revenge.

Dead Snowmen
The town's snowmen are being systematically exterminated, but someone intends to stand up for them.

Sam Washburn killed all those snowmen, so it’s only fair that a snowman sent him up the river.

Hostile Takeover
A very practical businessman is ready to seize control of the company of a very practical businesswoman, but is not prepared for her solution (or her frog).

The man who wanted to be her master tried a second time. “It’s supposed to be a white cat, isn’t it?”
This time she did not attempt to ignore him. She stroked Reuben, the frog in her lap, heard him utter a protracted breeeeep of protest. Then she looked across the dining room table at the man. “What do you mean?”

Mikey's Coming Home
Joe's brother is returning from a business trip... the trip that claimed his life.

Mikey’s grimace broadened his thin face and lent it a skull-like aspect. He gave the driver beside him a look that begged for mercy. “Can we please not die just going to the airport?”

In addition to the short stories, the collection includes author's notes on each story.
