"A delicious smorgasbord of otherworldly mysteries."—William Alexander, New York Times bestselling and National Book Award-winning author of Sunward "The Speculative Detective Agency is a thrilling anthology filled with some of the most interesting and diverse genre-blending stories I have read in a long time. An absolute five-star anthology that is a must-read for any X-Files fan."—V. Castro, Bram Stoker-nominated author of Maria the Wanted “Supernatural gumshoes? Oh HELL yes! This genre-bending marriage of detective stories and the supernatural is a complete joy to read from beginning to end. The voices of the different authors harmonize from one story to the next, rising into a pitch perfect chorus. This anthology is unique, entertaining, and beautifully written and edited.
