Escape and Other Stories

A gripping collection of short fiction where every escape comes at a cost.

In Escapes and Other Stories, author Susan Koefod delivers a vivid mix of mystery, suspense, and the uncanny. These sharply crafted tales follow characters desperate to break free-from the weight of their past, the confusion of their present, and the shadows of an uncertain future.

Among them is Arvo Thorson, a brilliant yet troubled detective making his first appearance here before becoming the star of Koefod's acclaimed mystery series. In these early stories, Thorson's keen intellect and relentless drive collide with his personal demons, creating cases as riveting as they are haunting.

From chilling ghost stories to tightly wound mysteries, Koefod's storytelling offers a perfect getaway for busy readers-bite-sized escapes you can savor in a single sitting, yet remember long after you've turned the last page.
