Ken Bruen’s short story collections trace his development from the early Irish morbidities of Funeral (1992) through the career-spanning A Fifth of Bruen (2006). The collections showcase the razor-sharp prose that would make his novels famous, with each story stripped to its essential elements.

Sherry and Other Stories (1994) and Time of Serena-May and Upon the Third Cross (1995) continued the early output, and A Fifth of Bruen gathered the best of his shorter work for readers discovering him through the Jack Taylor series.
