Pet Shop Boys: Digital Novella from Bestselling Author Kim Harrison Provides Creepy Prelude to Forthcoming Short Story Collection

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 09, 2012

?For there were no more lovers left alive/ No one had survived? ? lyrics to a song from the eponymous British electro-pop band Pet Shop Boys ? a handful of words which lend mournful tenor to the spine-tingling short story by top New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison. ?Pet Shop Boys? (e-ISBN 9780062237682), now available as a digital short from Harper Voyager for $ 0.99, gives a bone-chilling preview of what lies when one ventures INTO THE WOODS, a soon-to-be-published short story collection from Harrison, coming this autumn.

Things are definitely not what they seem in a local pet shop, on a dreary winter night. When a little girl comes wandering in alone, shop employee Cooper feels ill at ease?but nothing prepares him for when her mother comes breezing into his store like a slicing winter gale. He?s not sure why he finds himself acquiescing to a date with this ice-cold beauty, but their night out quickly turns disturbing rather than delightful. She and her family hold a centuries-old secret, and they want him to stay with them forever . . .

?Pet Shop Boys? introduces a new side of beloved fantasy author Harrison ? she can do it all, from epic fantasy, to urban magic, to tense psychological horror. And after the last page of ?Pet Shop Boys? is devoured, readers can enjoy a brief sample of the fun to come with a preview of Harrison?s forthcoming fiction blockbuster.

In an online review, author/editor/review TW Brown says, ?Today, I scooped up this offering with no idea that I would have my jaw hit the floor. This goes in an entirely different direction than anything Harrison has written. It actually has a few ?scary? moments. I have no idea if she intends to really open this Pandora's Box of a world she offered, but I can only hope. This has ?Amazing Series? screaming from the pages.?

?Pet Shop Boys? is available now wherever e-books are sold, for $ 0.99.
