I have an outstanding question about a story that was going to be included in Stalkers but wasn’t. Check it out in this post and let me know if you can assist.
Short Story Index, 1989-1993 (H.W. Wilson, Greenfieldt & Yaakov eds.) lists this story as by K.R. Dwyer. (This is incorrect.)
Ads for Stalkers appear in The Overlook Connection #10 (p3,6) and #21 (p44) and in Mystery Scene #23, November 1989.
