Description

Soledad was 16 and preparing for college when her mother left her to care for her drug-addicted father. Having to live in the violent and gritty streets of pre-gentrification New York, she learns to survive by any means necessary, working off a family debt to some unsavory and corrupt men. Will the streets consume her with violence and vice, or will she triumph and escape to a normal life? In the style of Ms. 45, Leon and Taxi Driver comes this tense and violent novella from the author of Dead Dogs. Praise for Manny Torres and his debut novel Dead Dogs: "This novel brings U Black Pulp Fiction/Urban Noir & Scalding Savagery in 150 pages of Uberiffic writing. Plain n simple THE MAN can flat-out WRITE." DuVay Knox, author of Soul Collector and The Pussy Detective "Exquisite. Simply exquisite. [Manny] Torres says he's inspired by the great dialogue writer George V. Higgins. And Dead Dogs is dialogue-driven, so it's going to read either like Higgins or wannabe Higgins, right? No. Manny Torres is a unique and talented writer with his own voice. I loved Dead Dogs. It's dark, brutal, and funny." Andy Rausch, author of American Trash and Bloody Sheets "DEAD DOGS is a bloody stew of conflict and violence simmered in a cauldron of streetwise crime fiction." Brian Bowyer, author of Sinister Mix and Road Narrows "You might want to put down the book at first and take a shower after spending so much time with these characters but stick with it and it will be a fun and morally dubious ride. Really looking forward to seeing more from Manny Torres." Randal Richardson, writer and director of Perdido Y Desintegrado "A grisly tale you won't be able to put down!" Elford Alley, author of Ash and Bone: Tales of Terror, Find Us and Other Stories and In Search of the Nobility, TX Wildman.
