My fingers can''t find the bullet holes. They''re there, because they brought me down. Like a guitar riff sharp enough to slit a throat or the devil''s amplifiers shrieking through the lonely night, this bonanza of blood and brawn rings with the vibe of the best new noir suspense. Culled from the net''s most hardcore, award-winning site, these fresh, raw, and uncut stories pack a stiff punch. . . "As long as she keeps calling me, there''s hope. Hope is a dangerous thing." No matter where you turn--a pair of bisexual, ass-kicking Vikings on a slaughter trip; a sexy forty-something thief with angles as lethal as her curves; a porn-comic artist up against one deadly last laugh; a city''s most savage gang under the gun and way out of time; or a south-of-the-borderland sleaze pit where everyone''s a winner--no one gets out alive. . . "Escape is a bitch. A man alone and on foot would have to be crazy to try. Apparently he was." Rev up for a speed-fueled hell-trip through the dark side, where a backbeat can kill, no scene falls short of badass, and the hooligans bay at the moon. . . "This book is dripping so much blood and guts and marrow, it''s impossible to read it in more than a single sitting. Be prepared to be shattered, shell-shocked and bruised, as Thuglit''s emissaries continue to write wrongs that are very, very right." --Sarah Weinman Big Daddy Thug/Todd Robinson''s writing has appeared in Plots With Guns, Danger City, Demolition, Out Of The Gutter, Pulp Pusher, Crimespree and Writers Digest''s The Year''s Best Writing 2003.

She had an ass like a heart turned upside down and cut in half--and that''s what we call foreshadowing, friend.Gruesome and glam, vicious and violent, this collection of the best new neo-noir fiction will hit you like a biker boot to the skull. Unleashed from the net''s most hardcore award-winning site, these down, dirty, and deeply depraved tales don''t just cut the edge . . . they pour gasoline on it and toss it in a meth lab full of C-4 . . . "Just because I killed my best friend with my bare hands doesn''t make me all that bad. . . Christ, I loved the guy like a brother." Throw down a shot with the last word in badass--a scheming stripper playing one fool too far; the rage-haunted lesbian who''s the last word in nightmare revenge; a mercenary sheriff doomed by ruthless payback; avenging street angels unleashing holy hell --and just try and stagger away intact. . ."This country''s got a motto. It''s pura vida, and it means when life gets you down, put your feet up, sister. But I lift my legs for no man." So settle back with your favorite rot-gut, keep your brass knuckles handy, and hang where the odds are never good, darkness is a permanent state of mind, and the house always takes all . . .Blood, Guts, And Whiskey"Lean, mean stories. . .today''s brightest writers provide some of the darkest tales you''ve ever read." –Max Allan CollinsBig Daddy Thug/Todd Robinson''s writing has appeared in Plots With Guns, Danger City, Demolition, Out Of The Gutter, Pulp Pusher, Crimespree and Writers Digest''s The Year''s Best Writing 2003.
