The Minotaur Sampler, Volume 7: New Books to Make Your Heart Race

Stacy Willingham makes you realize how quiet a house feels when you suspect someone is watching. You start checking the locks twice before bed.

“The past has a way of catching up to you.”

Alex Finlay shows how a single night can ruin a family for decades. The trauma just stays in the floorboards.

Juan Gómez-Jurado captures that frantic feeling of being the smartest person in the room but totally powerless. It makes my heart race just thinking about Antonia's mind.

Thomas Mullen reminds me that justice often depends on who is holding the badge. The historical tension feels way too familiar.
