They might be cute. They might be clever. They’re always one step ahead—and they don’t wait for permission. One of many creature-filled tales in the Wee Beasties StoryBundle, curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
About Little Troublemakers
One of the best short story writers of her generation, Kristine Kathryn Rusch does not limit herself to genre. She writes award-winning mystery, fantasy, and science fiction stories. She dabbles in short romance and commits the occasional literary piece.
Like its author, this collection does not limit itself to any one genre. Instead, it focuses on small creatures. Cats feature prominently as do dogs and mice. But Rusch’s fanciful side shows as well, with basketball-playing aliens, warlike pixies, and “little men” who provoke a gunfight in the American West.
Ten stories that go from funerals to bars, schools to poker tables—and every place in between.

Curator's Note
As I put my own collection together for this StoryBundle, I realized that I have an affinity for the small and mighty. I’ve written so many stories about tiny powerful folk that I couldn’t include all of them here. I added my favorites and called it good. And I hope you enjoy each and every one of them. – Kristine Kathryn Rusch
