"A collection of white-hot short stories.... The baddest noir
stylist of them all digs into his archives from the past 15 years
and comes up with 20 visits to hell." --Kirkus Reviews
“Vachss’s reverence for storytelling is evident in the blunt beauty
of his language.” —Chicago Sun-Times
“Vachss is a contemporary master. . . Decidedly hard-boiled, his
prose is lean, tough-edged, and brittle.” —The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution
“To read Andrews Vachss at his best is to take a ride on the dark
side, where the plight of the oppressed and vulnerable . . .
becomes the catalyst for revenge-fueled street justice.” —Los
Angeles Times
“Many writers try to cover the same ground as Vachss. A handful are
as good. None are better.” —People
“Vachss’s stories . . . burn with righteous rage and transfer a
degree of that rage to the reader.” —The Washington Post Book
World
“Writing in a style so sleekly engineered that it purrs when you
pop the hood, Vachss gives us such a smooth ride that it’s easy to
forget someone is driving this thing.” —The New York Times Book
Review
“Vachss is red-hot and as serious as a punctured lung.” —Playboy
