Sex, Thugs, and Rock & Roll — Joe R. Lansdale

"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...
