Dammit, I wanted more of the song title referenced. I suppose that wasn't the best reason to buy this... Also, this isn't gun kink imo. It's a short, erotic fantasy that features a gun. Well, it was entertaining regardless. It became very engaging as the plot progressed. Good characterization.

Wow! For a short story, In the Pines really packed a lot of punch!

Story originally available in Weight of a Gun Anthology
At first, the story feels intriguing -- when Tyler purchases a Browning gun that is said to be cursed, and all the people who buy it committed suicide. Then, it feels sexy -- when Tyler starts to have sexual dreams about a guy named Flynn. Then, it turns sinister -- when Tyler realizes what is going on and finds out what really happens with the gun.

This dark and finely crafted mini mystery had me falling for everything I was set up to, and then marveling at the turn the story took and the way it artfully came together.
The story opens as Tyler studies the different variety of guns available at a shop in Anchorage, Alaska. He's looking for a gift for his brother, soon to come home from Iraq. He himself is new to the area; six months previously he was shot in the line of work as a NYC police offic...more
