Tom Piccirilli recommends
thumb
Factory Town (2014)
Jon Bassoff
"Factory Town is a journeyman's surreal voyage through the very heart of hell. A novel full of a crazed, ugly, vivid, disturbing energy held together by a deft hand. Bassoff is the king of creepy crime-horror fiction."
thumb
Follow Her Home (2013)
(Juniper Song Mystery, book 1)
Steph Cha
"A gripping narrative voice that's as fun as it is funky, sharp, and evocative."
thumb
21 Tales (2010)
Dave Zeltserman
"Dave Zeltserman is one of the crime genre's most accomplished, radical, and innovative talents... I only wish that 21 Tales had been 51 Tales or 101 Tales. We need more of his edgy stories to rattle the field."
