Dirty Boulevard: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Songs of Lou Reed, Paperback/David James Keaton

Descriere

Description Inspired by the outcasts, outlaws, and other outr inhabitants of rock legend Lou Reed's songbook, Dirty Boulevard traffics in crime fiction that's sometimes velvety and sometimes vicious, but always, absolutely, rock & roll. Inside, you'll find stories from the fire escapes to the underground, stories filled with metal machine music, stories for gender-bending, rule-breaking, mind-blasting midnight revelries and drunken, dangerous, dark nights of the heart. Upcoming genre stars like Alison Gaylin team up with crime fiction legends such as Reed Farrel Coleman, along with Cate Holahan, Gabino Iglesias, Tony Mc Millen, and many of the most exciting new names in crime and horror fiction, who teach us that a perfect day is often anything but, that the power of positive drinking is a destructive force rarely contained, and that knock-down-drag-out drag queens are probably way tougher than you. Dedicated to the memory and works of Jonathan Ashley. Proceeds will benefit National Suicide Prevention Lifeline--1-800-273-8255. Edited by David James Keaton.
