Murdering Mr. Edwards

Tales from Canterbury High

One obnoxious English teacher. Twelve tales of his death.

Norton Edwards, English department head, is the reigning despot in Canterbury High.

This year, his colleagues have had enough.

This year, they're getting rid of Mr. Edwards.

In this collection of darkly tongue-in-cheek stories, Mr. Edwards dies, tale after tale.

“A clever, funny and totally engaging noir-vella! Loved it!” (Diana Gabaldon, author of Outlander)

“If you have never, ever considered murdering someone, then you have never worked in a high school.” (Scott Anderson, school principal)

“If you’ve ever taught in a high school, attended a high school, or even driven past a high school, you will enjoy Murdering Mr. Edwards.” (Chris McMahen, teacher-librarian, author of Box of Shocks, Tabloidology, & Klutzhood)
