Highly enjoyable collection of short stories from an author I definitely want to see more from. Rest Stop is a lot of fun, but for me the standout story is "Laughlines," a very scary bend of epistolary and folk horror. ...more

In Ellroy's 1995 masterpiece American Tabloid, one of the novel's protagonists says he doesn't like communism because it's "bad for business." Thirty-one years later, communism is just bad. (Or baaaaad, as an Ellroy novel might put it.) And that's fine ...more
