Lawrence Block is a New York Times bestselling author and Mystery Writers of America Grand Master who has won multiple Edgar and Shamus awards, plus countless international prizes. The author of more than one hundred books, he lives in New York City. During the years 1966-1973, Stephen King was actually two men. Stephen King wrote (and sold) horror stories to magazines such as Cavalier and Adam, while Richard Bachman wrote a series of novels that would not be published until the early 1980s and were then collected as The Bachman Books. Bachman died of pseudonym cancer in 1985, shortly after another of his novels, Thinner, was attributed to Stephen King; but a sixth Bachman novel, The Regulators, surfaced in 1995 and was published simultaneously with Stephen King's Desperation, to which it bore a weird resemblance. Blaze--both brutal and sensitive--was the last novel written during Bachman's early period. It is his legacy. King's proceeds from Blaze will be donated to the Haven Foundation, which supports freelance artists. Joyce Carol Oates is a recipient of the National Medal of Humanities, the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award, the National Book Award, and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction. She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Princeton University and has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1978. In 2016, she was inducted into the American Philosophical Society. Others, as in, not you

Review :
"[A] darkly alluring, deliciously unnerving union of art and story." -- "Booklist (starred review)" "An anthology of conspicuous brilliance. A grand, masterly anthology." -- "Buffalo News" "If a picture is worth a thousand words, any of Edward Hopper's paintings of American loneliness is worth an entire short story. Ekphrasis―seeing a story in a picture―was seldom so much fun." -- "Washington Post" "Many of the narrations are artful, deepening the poignancy and terror the authors invest in their characters and plots. Art historian Gail Levine's first first fiction appears here, beautifully realized by George Newbern, while Carrington MacDuffie wrings every bit of twisted American culture from 'Still Life, 1931' by Kris Nelscott. A fine crossover listen for short story fans, Hopper fans, and noir enthusiasts." -- "AudioFile" "Short stories by seventeen writers...dramatically start where the paintings leave off." -- "San Francisco Chronicle" "This absolutely superb anthology starts out with two advantages: a true legend at the helm in crime writer Lawrence Block and a fascinating concept...Every story is superlative." -- "USA Today (4 out of 4 stars)" "This strong collection begins in a spirit of homage but winds up showing how powerful inspiration can be." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "Without doubt, Alfred Hitchcock would be pleased. Hopper and Block, master mesmerists." -- "Virginian-Pilot"
