TRANSGRESSIONS is a series of short stories from popular authors edited by Ed McBain. This volume in the series contains two stories: one from Stephen King and one from John Farris.

King's story: Scott Staley called in sick to his job as a claims adjuster in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. It was a decision he questioned almost everyday after. Almost a year later, in August 2002, a box containing personal items of people he worked with in the tower shows up in his apartment. He doesn't know what to do with the items. Then one night the voices start. It's enough to drive a sane person crazy. Scott tries to give the items away, but he always ends up back with them. Somehow he has to figure out what to do with the items, stop the voices, and ease his guilty conscience.

The Farris story: "The Ransome Women" is basically a psychological suspense story. Echo Halloran is a young and beautiful starving artist/art critic, trying to forge her way in New York. Echo's favorite artist is the reclusive John Ransome, a portrait painter who only paints pictures about twice a decade. Echo catches the eye of Ransome and he wishes to hire her for a year as his next model. Becoming a Ransome woman could be the break of a lifetime. However, Ransome is a shady figure with a mysterious past and the fate that meets each of the former Ransome women is one that Echo tries desperately to avoid.
