Dirty Boulevard: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Songs of Lou Reed

Inspired by the outcasts outlaws and other outré inhabitants of rock legend Lou Reeds songbook Dirty Boulevard traffics in crime fiction thats sometimes velvety and sometimes vicious but always absolutely rock & roll. Inside youll find stories from the fire escapes to the underground stories filled with metal machine music stories for gender-bending rule-breaking mind-blasting midnight revelries and drunken dangerous dark nights of the heart. Upcoming genre stars like Alison Gaylin team up with crime fiction legends such as Reed Farrel Coleman along with Cate Holahan Gabino Iglesias Tony McMillen and many of the most exciting new names in crime and horror fiction who teach us that a perfect day is often anything but that the power of positive drinking is a destructive force rarely contained and that knock-down-drag-out drag queens are probably way tougher than you.
