Dead to Me
Summary
A new urban fantasy featuring a man working on the right side of the law - with talents that come from left field. Psychometry - the power to touch an object and divine information about its history - has meant a life of petty crime for Simon Canderous, but now he's gone over to the good side. At New York's underfunded and (mostly) secret Department of Extraordinary Affairs, he's learning about red tape, office politics, and the basics of paranormal investigation. But it's not the paperwork that has him breathless. After Simon spills his coffee on (okay, through) the ghost of a beautiful woman - who doesn't know she's dead - he and his mentor plan to find her killers. But Simon's not prepared for the nefarious plot that unfolds before him, involving politically correct cultists, a large wooden fish, a homicidal bookcase, and the forces of Darkness, which kind of have a crush on him.

Scream
Summary
"Scream" was published in the anthology Blackguards: Tales of Assassins, Mercenaries, and Rogues. About this story, author Anton Strout says, "Jumping from writing one series to the next is always bittersweet. There's the excitement of new characters and unknown tales to tell, but you're also leaving behind familiar friends. Or at least friends you've tortured for three or four books, anyway. Suffice it to say, I miss the retractable bat-swinging antics of psychometrist/paranormal detective Simon Canderous and his semi-heroic rise through Manhattan's terribly underfunded Department of Extraordinary Affairs, but he wasn't always a goody-two-shoes. Before the events of Dead To Me, Simon had to learn that 'with great power comes great responsibility' (thanks to years of Spidey reading, natch). But in Simon's case it also came with added financial perks from thievery, too."
