Blood, Guts, and Whiskey — Tom Piccirilli

"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 ...
