Some hide their oozing flesh and bloody claws inside skins draped with respectable clothes, firm haircuts, and bedroom teeth. Behold businessmen with carnival barker style and a gambler’s desperation. Ride along in a bus filled with debauchery and regret. Search online paramours catfishing through dangerous mud. Sight in on the true costs of assassinations. Unleash unspeakable unknown under-dwellers. Discover buried treasure in the darkest depths of creation. Listen for the fluting call of spectral friends. Panic at the mention of No-Good Bartlett’s. Float down a river of No Return. Oh, and there’s also a time-traveling Jesus. These nine quality cheap thrills of the dankest macabre and criminally petty, are guaranteed to delight your senses, tickle your outrage, and engorge your brain with blood. Read original stories by Daniel Marcus, Preston Lang, Serena Jayne, John Kojak, Donald Jacob Uitvlugt, Robb T. White, Paul McCabe, J.D. Graves, and Chris Fortunato only in EconoClash Review #6 from Down & Out Books.

Raymond Carver meets Elmore Leonard in this extraordinary collection of contemporary crime writing set in the critically acclaimed Gangsterland universe, a series called "gloriously original" by The New York Times Book Review. With gimlet-eyed cool and razor-sharp wit, these spare, stylish stories from a master of modern crime fiction assemble a world of gangsters and con men, of do-gooders breaking bad and those caught in the crossfire. The uncle of an FBI agent spends his life as sheriff in different cities, living too close to the violent acts of men; a cocktail waitress moves through several desert towns trying to escape the unexplainable loss of an adopted daughter; a drug dealer with a penchant for karaoke meets a talkative lawyer and a silent clown in a Palm Springs bar. Witty, brutal, and fast-paced, these stories expand upon the saga of Chicago hitman-turned-Vegas-rabbi Sal Cupertine--first introduced in Gangsterland and continued in Gangster Nation--while revealing how the line between good and bad is often a mirage.
