Within the pages of Beat to a Pulp: Hardboiled you will find unflinching fiction. It's rough, violent and at times challenges the reader. However, there are also strains of humanity, romance, loss and yearning.A Small Thing at the Devil's Punchbowl by Kent Gowran is a weirdly romantic journey to a dive bar outside Vegas.The Death Fantastique by John Hornor Jacobs is a moody, textured story of sex, drugs and small town thugs.The Janitor by Ron Earl Phillips is a story of friendship and hope, seriously.The Blooming of Lester by Brad Green is a mind-bending surreal journey of a damaged man's search for revenge.
