The Devil's in the Details

LOVE, BETRAYAL, VIOLENCE, REDEMPTION, AGE-OLD SINS AND THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE... The Devil's In the Details is artist VA Christie's debut short fiction collection, a series of stories stretching from sun-soaked San Diego to the bayous of Louisiana to other worlds, and a diverse cast of characters including a lost former detective desperate to find another missing person, a serial killer and his intended victims, an assassin, a scientist, and a madman each struggles with circumstances both self-imposed and discovered. "The Wolves Of Chernobyl" uncovers the origin story of a werewolf and contemplates ecological destruction, while in "The Bull And The Blade" a modern Minotaur is sought in the labyrinthine streets of Pamplona, Spain. In the speculative "One More Time," "Copy That," and "Grand Mal," the human side of technological innovation is maintained alongside a world altered beyond recognition. And in the title story a group of astronauts on Mars receive an unexpected visitor capable of ensuring either their salvation or destruction.

In VA Christie's The Devil's in the Details, each story through unrelenting suspense exposes the scar tissue both literal and metaphorical between inner lives and external turmoil.
