'The 15 stories and six poems in this slim yet weighty all-original noir anthology... are razor-sharp and relentless in their portrayal of life, offering snapshots of dysfunctional, everyday toil, and brief joy' - Publishers Weekly 'This collection enlivens... flattened archetypes by retelling the noir narrative from the new perspectives of teenage girls, women hired hands, and mothers.' - Book Riot 'Goes a long way towards supplying candidates for an emerging canon' - Kirkus Reviews
