Holt’s shorter works span the full range of his writing. Some are comic pieces in his Holt voice, while others carry the darker, more precise tone of K.J. Parker. Many of the Parker novellas explore a single idea or trade with the obsessive detail that marks his longer novels.
These pieces have appeared in various magazines and anthologies over the years, with several collected or republished as standalone editions.
