[...] DIVIDING UP YOUR ‘TRANSGRESSIONS’ While we’re on the subject of last year’s best, the Ed McBain-edited anthology TRANSGRESSIONS – our year-end pick for one of 2005’s three best books – is coming out in paperback. Or make that four paperbacks. Rather than issue the 10-novella collection in a sure-to-bust-its-spine edition, Forge has chosen to package two to three of the crime tales together in a series of mass-market paperbacks. Thus, VOL. 1 with Lawrence Block and Jeffery Deaver and VOL. 2 with John Farris and Stephen King are already available. Following in October are VOL. 3 with McBain, Walter Mosley and Donald E. Westlake, and VOL. 4 with Sharyn McCrumb, Joyce Carol Oates and Anne Perry. We wholeheartedly recommend them all. [...]

[...] Like other Mysterious Press anthologies, Penzler presents the stories alphabetically by author. Even if they weren’t, opening with Lawrence Block is always a safe bet. In “Keller’s Double Dribble,” he once again revisits his popular hitman character Keller (last seen – at least by my count – in last fall’s stellar anthology TRANSGRESSIONS), who takes in a Pacers game before he scopes out his scheduled target. The assignment doesn’t go as planned (do they ever?), and Block’s story offers unexpected glimpses at Keller’s childhood, which prove moving and more than a little heartbreaking. [...]

[...] 2. TRANSGRESSIONS edited by Ed McBain – It’s strange that an anthology almost became the best book we read, but consider the talent behind it: Joyce Carol Oates, Lawrence Block, Stephen King, Jeffrey Deaver, Donald E. Westlake and so many others, all given free reign to write whatever the hell they want, and most of them respond at the top of their game. [...]
