Come December, I head for Vrooman's and look for the latest installment in the series. Every year's collection is put together by publisher Otto Penzler and new guest editor (Joyce Carol Oates, in this case). Some years are better than others, but none are dogs. These are great books to bring along while traveling — because they're easier to put down.

Read in March, 2007
I repeatedly had to stifle laughter while reading Daniel Orozco's "Officers Weep," which hilariously sends up that sole reason to subscribe to a small-town newspaper, the police blotter. The entries by Erdrich and Higgins are great as well.

Read it for the Hannah Tinti story "Home Sweet Home," a flawless, macabre, and hilarious vignette of a murder in the suburbs. And for "Aardvark to Aztec" by Christopher Chambers, perfectly pitched, hilarious, and chilling.
