The pages of 10 Twisted Pulp Fiction Tales feel like your favorite black-and-white crime-soaked movie?raw, moody, and unapologetically bleak. Step into the smoke-choked alleys and neon-lit dives of September 1947?a time when danger rode shotgun and secrets festered in the shadows. This hardboiled collection crisscrosses postwar America, from crumbling Midwestern avenues to seedy coastal hideouts, each story drenched in grit and desperate deals.
Sinister characters stalk rain-slick boulevards: grifters, gunmen, gumshoes?and the unlucky souls caught between. Justice is murky, morality bends, and the cities themselves seem to swallow men whole. Told in razor-sharp noir style, these original tales don't just take place in the past?they live there, torn from the pages of a forgotten dime magazine and dragged into the light.
Includes one Max Weatherbee story: "Two Birds, One Stone."
