Cutting Edge: New Stories of Mystery and Crime by Women Writers Audiobook (Free)

Joyce Carol Oates, a queenpin from the noir genre, has taken her enthusiastic and discerning vision to the curation of an outstanding anthology of brand-new top-shelf short tales (and poems by Margaret Atwood!). While poor men are not often the victims in these stories, they get their due often plenty of to fulfill listeners who are sick and tired of the gendered position quo, or who just want to have a little bit of fun at the expense of the crumbling patriarchal society. This stylistically different collection can make you squirm within your seat, stay up during the night, laugh aloud, and inevitably wish for more.

Featuring brand-new stories by: Joyce Carol Oates, Margaret Atwood (poems), Valerie Martin, Aimee Bender, Edwidge Danticat, Sheila Kohler, S. A. Solomon, S. J. Rozan, Lucy Taylor, Cassandra Khaw, Bernice L. McFadden, Jennifer Morales, Elizabeth McCracken, Livia Llewellyn, Lisa Lim, and Steph Cha.
