Stupidiocy by Cindy Rosmus

STUPIDIOCY STUPIDIOCY by Cindy Rosmus

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


One definition of noir is the MC starts out fucked (can I use that on GR? guess I'll find out) and it goes downhill from there. In this collection of short stories, Rosmus gets into the heads of her characters as they spiral down to rock bottom, which is sometimes left to the reader's imagination (very effective). Murderers, crack whores, demented children, struggling alcoholics and druggies populate this collection of short, sharp, poignantly drawn glimpses of lives lived hard. The illustrations by Coates Walker are suitably disturbing and a reward for springing for the print edition.
