Hard Sentences: Crime Fiction Inspired by Alcatraz
Writers! Some new hotness:
So after visiting Alcatraz a couple times since I’ve moved to California, I had a brainstorm… Over 5,000 tourists visit the Rock EVERY DAY. And they have a gift shop on the island with a book section and some bush-league, self-published prison books, including some “theme” collections no one would look twice at in a bookstore, but I’ve seen these tourists snat

As a "St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves" superfan, I had high hopes for this, and I'm not entirely sure why it didn't fully connect. It reminded me a bit of Chuck Rosenthal's "Loop" series, with its family dysfunction and wacky, magical real

| Getting around to this one late, but I'm glad I squeezed it in while books were still real. Speaking of The End, the opening story, "Amnesiac's Lament" is amazing, probably the most distressing post-post-apocalyptic world ever imagined. But Jones als ...more | |

| There are those books where authors sort of do penance for being a piece of shit when they were younger, and I love these narratives for the most part, but I usually enjoy those backward looks at our feral selves a bit more when there's less flogging ...more | |

| It's hard to imagine this novel on its own terms, as it seems to be in direct conversation with Let's Go Play at the Adams', and it does wither a bit in that book's shadow. Both authors have interesting reasons for writing these books (one is based o ...more | |

“Funny thing about cats,” she said, slowing way down to look but still walking. “Scientists say they don’t meow to each other, to dogs, to mice, to nobody but us. So it’s talking only to you!” “Well, it hasn’t really officially ‘meowed’ yet? Not sure what it’s doing, to tell you the truth.
