Mike McCrary’s short stories and novellas include five works published between 2013 and 2024. Getting Ugly (2013) was one of his first published works. Later entries like Broken (2019), Separate Checks (2019), and Mad As Hell (2019) came in a burst of productivity.
The titles alone signal McCrary’s sensibility. Santa Psycho Elf F*cker (2024) is the most recent and most bluntly titled. These shorter works let McCrary tell contained crime stories without the overhead of a full novel, and they often feature his darkest comedic instincts.
