520 1 $a"Here is a one-of-a-kind collection by famous authors writing anonymously - and dangerously. With the usual concerns about reputation and renown cast aside, each of these twelve daredevils has contributed an extreme, no-holds-barred unsigned story." "Unconventional and unapologetic, this publishing whodunit features an eclectic group of fictional characters, including a delusional schizophrenic narrator, an egg donor with second thoughts about her decision, a pharmacist who forms a weird crush on a woman who beat both of her parents to death, and a little girl who understands that an old safe is the threshold to another, ghostly, world. Equally diverse and surprising are the authors themselves: Aimee Bender, Benjamin Cheever, Michael Connelly, Sebastian Junger, Elizabeth McCracken, Rosie O'Donnell, Chris Offutt, Anna Quindlen, John Burnham Schwartz, Alice Sebold, Lauren Slater, and Marc Parent, the editor of the collection."--BOOK JACKET.
