I'm reading "USA Noir", ed. Johnny Temple.
An anthology of short stories, mostly about people surviving in hard, big-city worlds of petty crime.
The stories share a hard-boiled style that I like very much.
By far the best is Dennis Lehane. What a writer he is!
Other gems, by writers I didn't know before: Maggie Estep, Tim McLoughlin, Barbara DeMarco-Barrett.
I'm only halfway through, so there is much to look forward to.
