Moonstone Books is proud to present Tales of Zorro , a brand-new anthology featuring 18 tales of the fox -- the first collection of original Zorro short fiction ever published! This landmark compilation, edited by Richard Dean Starr ( Hellboy, Kolchak: The Night Stalker ), includes all-new stories and essays by some of today's top writers in film and literature.

Roger Nash gained international acclaim for his title story "The Camera and the Cobra," which won the PEN/O.Henry Prize Story Award, and was anthologized by Anchor Books (PEN/O.Henry Prize Stories 2009) as one of the twenty best short stories published in North America. Nash's short stories explore a theme less familiar in literature but common in life: how the course of our own day-to-day lives can be deeply ambiguous, a sheer mystery to us. He explores the tragedy and humour of this, over a rich variety of lives and situations, sometimes realistically leaving the mystery and loose-ends of life teasingly unresolved for both his characters and readers. He shows how the phrase "mystery writing" can be richly and revealingly extended beyond its more usual application to crimes and their solution, to the weave of everyday life.
