_Crime Fiction Inspired by the Songs of Stephen Sondheim_? Seriously? What in the world do Sondheim and crime fiction have in common?

Well, nothing...unless you remember that _Sweeney Todd_ is the story of a murderous barber, and _Assassins_ is the story of multiple killers and would-be killers, and _Into the Woods_ tells the story of a wolf who eats grandmothers, and _The Last of Sheila--_not a musical comedy for the stage but a devious whodunnit Sondheim co-wrote with Anthony Perkins for the screen--won the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Allan Poe Award for the best mystery film of 1973.

In _Every Day a Little Death_, twenty authors--some from the world of crime fiction, some from the world of the theater--use Sondheim's lyrics as the inspiration for twenty tales of malfeasance, misdemeanor...and murder.

Josh Pachter is a writer, editor, and translator. His work has been a finalist for the Edgar, Anthony, Agatha, Thriller, Macavity, Lefty, and Derringer awards. In 2020, he was the recipient of the Short Mystery Fiction Society's Golden Derringer for Lifetime Achievement.
