| book description |

In an era where anything in politics seems possible, THE FAKING OF THE PRESIDENT is a unique creative act of resistance, and a must-have for fans of politics, noir, and speculative fiction. THE FAKING OF THE PRESIDENT does for today's presidency what The Making of the President did in 1960: pulls back the curtain and gives readers a new perspective on America's highest office. And what a view! This collection of seventeen stories by renowned mystery and noir authors takes readers across the chasm of reality into an alternate universe-where Abraham Lincoln struggles with a racial secret; where a time-traveling renegade targets members of the George Bush administration-to disastrous results; and where a spy finds opportunity after Woodrow Wilson's stroke. The stories are outlandish-but when it comes to the White House, what isn't these days? Spinning new tales of White House noir, these yarns prove that absolute power absolutely corrupts, with twisting stories of presidential oddities and aberrations that no longer seem implausible in today's political climate. THE FAKING OF THE PRESIDENT acknowledges the wacko state of politics today, and openly wonders how far down the rabbit hole the American presidency can go. Included are works by renowned, diverse, award-winning mystery authors Gary Philips, S. J. Rozan, Alex Segura, Alison Gaylin, Jim Fusilli, Greg Herren, Adam Lance Garcia, Sarah M Chen, and more.
