About

Yes, cats. We love them. Some of us don't. They are certainly mysterious and beautiful pets and the subject of many a series and anthologies. DARK THINGS II: Cat Crimes will be a bit different. Write me a story where the cat is the culprit. Was it self defense or did kitty really do it? Use your imagination.
