A high altitude lake is the point of departure for these stories of dark adventure, in which fishing guides, amateur sportsmen, teenage misfits, scientists, mountaineers, and expatriates embark on disquieting journeys of self-discovery in far-flung places."From the mountain lakes of the Colorado Rockies to cobbled streets of Spain, this fascinating collection of short stories never disappoints. A Field Guide to Murder and Fly Fishing is a collection you'll be happy to get lost in." -- Ploughshares"These stories bristle with energy and immediacy. The writing is spare and meticulous and packs a hefty emotional punch. I am not exaggerating when I say this collection kept me up at nights. I just couldn't stop reading." -- Addison Independent"Tim Weed proves himself a skilled creator of a sense of place . . . each story deposits one definitively into a geography, of mind and map." -- The Boston Globe"Provocative and memorable, this collection strikes all the right chords." -- Main Street Rag"I found myself consuming [these] thirteen tightly wound tales with addictive delight." -- Fiction Writers ReviewA FIELD GUIDE TO MURDER & FLY FISHING made the 2018 Eric Hoffer Book Awards Grand Prize Short List and was a finalist in the short story category for both the 2018 American Fiction Awards and the 2017 International Book Awards. Earlier versions were shortlisted for the New Rivers Press Many Voices Project, the Autumn House Press Fiction Prize, and the Lewis-Clark Press Discovery Award. "Each story is a jewel, cracking open what matters most: love, family, and our big beautiful planet."--Ann Hood, author of The Book That Matters Most"Tim Weed's A Field Guide to Murder & Fly Fishing is a fiction collection of the first order. I found myself parceling out the stories to make them last. These are stories that will live a long time both on the page and in your heart." --Joseph Monninger, author of The World as We Know It "This collection of stories by Tim Weed is grounded in the specificity of its settings, all of which contain hazards of one kind or another: a mountain lake, a jungle peak, an Amazonian river, a prairie giving way to construction, a seashore suddenly overcome by the tide, a city stuck in the past, a snowy slope (or two). But it is also full of mystery, and much of the mystery is cosmic . . . It is written so deftly, with such a light touch, that suspense builds in each story like a gathering storm." -- Patrick Joyce, Midwest Book Review
