Joe Clifford recommends
Burning Down the House (2024)
T Fox Dunham and Michel Lee Garrett
"If there's a theme running through this ragtag collection of stories inspired by the Talking Heads, it's a subtle but elegant one, wrapped between the mundane and melancholy and universally applied: how are we gonna make it through another goddam day."
Love You to a Pulp (2015)
CS DeWildt
"Chris DeWildt is the first honest-to-God apparent I've read to the rural noir master Jim Thompson."
