And thank God, too, for Rawson, who has the kind of talent to leave you mutilated and breathless.\" -- Benjamin Whitmer, author of Pike\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The Chaos We Know is a pulp-fueled debut w\/dopers, cops, husbands and wives. boyfriends \u0026amp; girlfriends, psychos \u0026amp; sadists, sand-storming through the potholes \u0026amp; shithouses of Arizona, leaving barnacles of the self centered, the down trodden’ \u0026amp; the surviving. Keith Rawson is the new garbage-tongued satirist of filth, deviance \u0026amp; violence for the new underclass.” -- Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana and Donnybrook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Keith Rawson wields his spare prose like a wrecking ball, laying bare a world of whores, petty criminals, crooked cops and meth heads. These short, sharp portraits of users \u0026amp;losers are deranged snapshots from deep in the underbelly of contemporary America. No tired noir tropes here, this is tough, unsentimental\u0026amp; savagely funny dark fiction that charts its own course” --Roger Smith, author of Wake Up Dead and Dust Devils\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Keith Rawson's last name gives you a hint. It's going to be raw, and it's going to get to you. Like stepping on a shard of glass, but in a good way. Rawson's stories always bowl me over with aggressive style and deep psychological fright\" --Anthony Neil Smith, author of Yellow Medicine and Choke On Your Lies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Reading Keith Rawson’s short stories is like strolling through a minefield: you know you’re in for trouble, and there’s no going back. Powerful, twisted, fierce and profane, this is take-no-prisoners fiction.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Hilary Davidson, author of the Damage Done","brand":"Snubnose Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47074062762224,"sku":"2940014603348","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014603348_p0.jpg?v=1763612252","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014603348","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
