Many of my short stories are bundled into collections.

 

The Daggyland Collection

Back in the day, friends used to call me Daggy. So let me welcome you now

to Daggyland, a strange, sick little place in the heart of crime fiction. 

Daggyland No. 1, a collection of short mystery stories by Joseph D'Agnese

In Daggyland #1, you’ll get 10 of my best stories—all of which were first published in the world’s greatest mystery magazines. You'll get two stories that were nominated for the Derringer Award for Short Mystery Fiction, and another that ran in the prestigious Best American Mystery Stories 2015 anthology, edited by bestseller James Patterson. And one never-before-seen ending to one of these acclaimed tales.

Fifty thousand words of pure, daggy-licious fun, the collection includes the following 10 stories:


Daggyland No. 2, a collection of short mystery stories by Joseph D'Agnese

In Daggyland #2, you’ll get another 10 stories—four of which have appeared in recent years in major mystery magazines. One Sherlockian tale appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, three appeared in Mystery Weekly, and bunch of others are out of the vault for the very first time. There’s one bonus story, and an excerpt of one of my novels!

Forty thousand words of pure, daggy-licious fun, the collection includes the 5 stories shown below, 5 more not shown, plus the excerpt of a novel!


This slim little volume, The Box Top Man, is a collection of three short stories.

All of them are included in Daggyland #2, shown above.

They are weird, Cheeveresque stories about the lives of suburbanites.

MURDER

A dying man delays breaking the truth to his wife in order to hear the juicy gossip of a neighborhood slaying.

The Arm of Darkness Collection

Arm of Darkness, a collection of short horror stories by Joseph D'Agnese

Now available as an Apple Books audiobook!

Two brothers stumble upon a website so entrancing that it marks them for death. A murderous drifter wanders into the wrong bar on a snowy night. A lovesick executive rents a hideous creature bred to nibble his cares away. 

They and others become victims of a mysterious stranger who lives in these mountains. His hand is fashioned from the oldest darkness man has ever known—the night sky. He is a trickster, a prankster, a demonic being who desires only to wreak casual violence on every person he meets. He’s about to offer you a bargain. Don’t trust him.

Arm of Darkness contains six short stories of horror and suspense.


Glow, Skullworm and Sunshine Lady, a trio of horror stories by Joseph D'Agnese

Three of the stories from the Arm of Darkness collection are available separately, both as ebooks and as paperbacks.

Grisly as well as compact.
