Blue Vegas: Stories

by P. Moss

Probing the dark, human stories lurking in the neon shadows, Blue Vegas represents the work of a writer who knows Las Vegas and is a keen observer of its diverse population. These seventeen stories explore the clash between old and new Las Vegas, and the quest for scraps of love and dignity amid the ruins of the lives of has-been showgirls, desperate killers, degenerate gamblers and quick buck mercenaries.The debut title for CityLife Books, Blue Vegas shines a light on the hard luck, faded dreams and lingering anguish faced by people who've been trampled by this single minded city.

Reviews

[Dana Jerman · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you like a journalistic style and “just the facts, ma’am” noir delivery, then Moss’ tone is for you. Not a lot of character development or room for poetry here, but the narratives will move you along super fast. A fun summer read you can blast thru in a day.
