The Blur in the Corner of Your Eye, by Sarah Pinsker

Sarah Pinsker writes an amazing range of stories, and all are enjoyable.  The thread linking them all is strong characters--you get the sense of the people in a story right away, and keep it.  So it is with The Blur in the Corner of Your Eye, the first one of hers that I have read in the horror space.  Zanna the author and Sal the assistant have a great relationship, in pretty colorful circumstances.  Zanna writes a series of detective novels where the investigator is in town just long enough to solve the murder mystery--much the way Zanna and Sal live.  And in the story we find out why.

Read this for masterful writing, this is how you do it.  4 stars
