ceeemvee's review against another edition

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.
This is a collection of noir crime stories with a Southern flair. The stories are well-written, and I liked the flow of both the stories and the dialog. While they are touted as being humorous, I thought they were so fatalistic that I failed to find anything amusing about them, with the exception of The Joe Flacco Defense. That story reminded me of the Roald Dahl story, “Lamb to the Slaughter,” which was made into an Alfred Hitchcock episode.

It's the first book I read written by Eryk Pruitt and I can state he's a great storyteller.
I loved this stories, each of them was a small gem of humor, psychology and style of writing.
It's one of those books that gives you a lot of pleasure in reading them.
And it's one of those book that makes you think "Now I go and buy the book".
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Polis Books and Netgalley for this ARC
