The expert touch of master storytelling-entirely different from anything you have ever tried! From A. J. Payler, master of modern fiction behind The Killing Song, Bank Error in Your Favor, and Terror Next Door comes Stop All Interference-seven stories of struggle against overwhelming odds and unstoppable fear, people pushed beyond betrayal and forgiveness, of the world we live in and what people will let themselves do just to survive in it.Featuring: "Sometimes, People Just Have Things They Have to Do": Everyone-everyone said that getting the Artery Boys back together was impossible... and once, high-powered music manager Alec Rodenbaugh might even have agreed. But nothing in this world is truly impossible for someone who wants it badly enough. And even if what seemed like the perfect cover might instead turn out to be the perfect crime... well, sometimes, people just have things they have to do."Default Admin Credentials": It seemed like the perfect crime... that should have been his first warning. Labor Day Weekend, an empty office building down in sleepy Point Loma: basically a sitting-duck target for any second-story man worth a nickel. Especially one with a lifetime of skills to draw upon-not to mention all the magic passcodes tucked comfortably away in his back pocket. Nothing could go wrong, or that was how it seemed... but in the end, he couldn't honestly blame anyone but himself for not seeing it coming."Sonata of Fear": When terror walks... no one is safe. Kenji Sanada has always been more comfortable with classic fictional monsters than with other people, even his family-Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, the mummy, all safely immortalized on his wall of fame. But what will he do when the all-too-real horrors of modern reality threaten to break right through those selfsame walls?"The Rumble of Heat Lightning Above the Deep Midwestern Woods": A mysterious figure stalks the murky backwoods of the Midwest on an unrelenting mission for revenge, with nothing but a Bowie knife to protect him against the monsters that haunt the forest. And even if he's able to find what he needs... it's already too late.Also featuring "Dictated, Never Read" (as seen in Twenty-two Twenty-eight), "An Ideal for Living" and "Telemarketing in Reverse", available here and nowhere else.
