Chosen from more than 200 submissions, these ten mystery short stories come from new and established authors alike. Never before published, they are gathered together in our first annual Mystery Times collection.  Each story was read and rated by three panels of judges, which included book bloggers, teen readers aged twelve to nineteen, and YA buyers and marketing mavens from the largest book wholesalers in the United States. Each judge was given the same set of parameters to use, and each brought his or her own unique talents and tastes to the task at hand. There is something here for every YA mystery fan, from hard-boiled to paranormal. Each story is a small bite of mystery that will satisfy and delight even the most discerning of readers. So sit down and dip in.  We guarantee you won't be able to stop with just one!

The Rental Heart and Other Fairytales

Salt Publishing

Mara’s island is one of stories and magic. She knows she’ll eventually end her days atop the cliff, turned to stone and gazing out at the horizon like all the villagers that went before her, drawn by the otherworldly call of the sea. Her whole family will be there too, even her brother Bee and her sister Islay.\nBut the island and the sea do what they want, and when they claim a price from her family, Mara’s world changes forever.\nAs years pass and Mara grows into herself and her scars, a chance meeting with the magnetic Pearl brings magic to life once more in ways that Mara never thought possible, in a story that she never would have dreamed for herself before.\nThe enchanting spiritual prequel to The Gracekeepers, Kirsty Logan’s The Gloaming is a present-day fable that brims over with dazzling imagination and captivating language.
