Thirteen chilling tales of wildlife, mayhem, and murder in America's first national park An absolutely fantastic collection of magical, disturbing, western, suspenseful and nature-packed short stories!!! A fantastic collection of short stories with an excellent range of situations, characters and narratives.

These stories include suspense, nature, revenge, tension, murder, fantasy, the supernatural and much more! There is a great mix of stories so there is definitely something in there for everyone The cover is absolutely amazing and it was one of the things that drew me to the book. This book is ideal to be able to pick up and read a story during a break or while making a cuppa!! I am a huge fan of horror and mystery stories and some of these definitely ticked both of those boxes!!! The excellent descriptions throughout transport the reader into Yellowstone and in the lives of all the different characters that you will meet!!! The fact that these are short stories also allows you to pick it up and read a story at a time or read it in one sitting which is perfect for those who like to read multiple books at one time. A great selection of stories that work perfectly together and I am looking forward to reading more books edited and written by Lise McClendon as well as the other fabulous authors I discovered in this book. Grab your copy of 'Deadly Yellowstone' and discover which stories you love!!! -- UK reader 5.0 out of 5 stars Great read I loved this book, a collection of short stories all set in Yellowstone national park. I've always had a fascination with this place and its mysteries. Having been there I always remember how beautiful it is but also how eerie it can be and oh so quiet. Great set of stories to be savoured, so strange some thrilling and eerie but oh so good. - UK reader Thrilling and scenic The 13 short stories in Deadly Yellowstone, edited by Lise McClendon, are set (as you've likely already realised) in the stunning landscape and iconic and functional buildings of Yellowstone National Park. Between them, these stories contain many kinds of human and beast, as well as different time periods and features of the park. I found Deadly Yellowstone very enjoyable. As well as being enthralled by the crime or mystery at the heart of each tale, I loved getting to "see" bits of the park through the authors' vivid, multi-sensory descriptions of geysers, lakes, mountains, and more. The park's wide appeal means there's a whole variety of characters to root for or against - from poachers and other wrongdoers to rangers and researchers, everyday people to the rich and famous, and younger to older visitors. Some stories follow the perpetrators, and others the victims. And, of course, the park's wildlife pops up in many of the stories, from fearsome bears and bison to smaller forest critters. The stories that particularly stood out for me were characteried by friendships between older women, showing the value of supporting, rather than rivalling one another, and that there's still plenty more you can see and do even if society deems you "past it". For example, Celeste Berteau's For the Love of Ansel Adams, as well as being a fun and intriguing art museum mystery, features two adventurous, irrepressible septuagenarian sidekicks to the main character, who really make the story pop. Alongside its thread of danger, Sally Milliken's Little Glorious Life is a moving, contemplative account of four friends following an itinerary set by their late fifth, culminating in the scattering of her ashes in a place she loved. In Honeymoon Trip by Julie Fasciana , meanwhile, a desperate woman calls on a resourceful pair of old friends to help her take care of a problem. I also particularly liked the stories where o bjectionable characters got what was coming to them from the animals of the park. I won't say which stories this happens in so I don't spoil anything, but the characters absolutely deserved it and it made for some very satisfying endings! As you might expect, park rangers pop up in quite a few of the stories, highlighting the important work they do keeping visitors safe and conserving the wildlife and environment in the parks - especially important messages considering the bumpy ride they've been having recently with firings and re-hirings. I especially enjoyed The Dead Be
