Customer Reviews

Murderous

Killers just want to have fun or have sex or have drugs. The characters in these stories are folks you do not want to meet. I hope they are not based on folks that Shirley has known. "New Noir" is a short quick read, but I'm not sure I would have survived more of this. These stories are raw, obscene, violent and scary. But, I'm sorry to say, most if not all of these types of events can be found in police records. This was my first exposure to Shirley, and I definitely want to read more.

Great!

Short and sweet, I loved every story. John Shirley rocks the world. I hope to read more.
