Tiny Crimes: LINCOLN MICHEL and LAURA VAN DEN BERG

Forty very short stories that reimagine the genre of crime writing from some of today’s most imaginative and thrilling writers​. Newtonville Books is pleased to host editors NADXIELI NIETO and LINCOLN MICHEL host an evening of readings from some of the collection’s contributors, including LAURA VAN DEN BERG.

Tiny Crimes gathers leading and emerging literary voices to tell tales of villainy and intrigue in only a few hundred words. From the most hard-boiled of noirs to the coziest of mysteries, with diminutive double crosses, miniature murders, and crimes both real and imagined, Tiny Crimes rounds up all the usual suspects, and some unusual suspects, too. With illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook and flash fiction by Carmen Maria Machado, Benjamin Percy, Amelia Gray, Adam Sternbergh, Yuri Herrera, Julia Elliott, Elizabeth Hand, Brian Evenson, Charles Yu, Laura van den Berg, and more, Tiny Crimes scours the underbelly of modern life to expose the criminal, the illegal, and the depraved.
