This book is huge (451 pages in Adobe Digital Edition) with fifty stories from the now extinct online magazine The Big Click. The mission of the editors was to find the best of new crime fiction, especially in noir, confessional, weird and “literary” fiction that depict and interrogate crime and social trespass.
The stories are all good reads, and devoid of the "were they paid by the word?" irrelevant descriptions and explanations. This particular anthology also allows quite a sampler of new-to-me authors who I plan to read more from.
I am not finding any sources for obtaining the eBook now. It was included in a time-limited noir collection from Story Bundle .
